One union plumbing shop in town, they do not hire, whether you are a brother or not. I’m burning out, career wise. I’m honestly considering jumping trades, electric is looking more and more inviting as days go by … considering hanging up my pipe wrenches and picking up a conduit bender instead.

Anyone suffer from career burnout and just jump careers/professions/trades? I’m not really looking for advice on coping w the burnout, just some sympathy or comradeship.

Any union members here, regardless of union, how does it generally work wrt getting into a union once you’ve already got your professional licensure. Stupid question but would I have to start over as an apprentice to come up union? Do unions take licensed jmen when they weren’t born in the union?

I’m having a pretty bad day, and an even worse week so far and I’m tired. Sorry if this post didn’t really go anywhere, shit just sucks eggs today.
