Union vs Non-Union Electricians. What's the difference?

How do you know the difference between working union vs. non-union? Ask the people who have done both. IBEW Electricians with Pittsburgh Local 5 compare their experience in working conditions, training, benefits, pay scale, and retirement.

My local unions website says apprentice starts at 20 then gets 50 an hour after 5 year apprentice if that’s true that’s amazjng

Appreciate the testimonials from hard working folks. We see this as one fantastic trade!

Retired Local 11 Journeyman here and union is the only way to go, and this isn't propaganda. Good pensions and medical.

I'm with ibew local 40 and it's the best decision I've ever made. Extremely good benefits, good pay and plenty of Optional overtime

I am seriously thinking of going union. I just passed my Jman test 4 days ago. I am just worried about having to travel if my local has no work
