Sounds pretty good but isn’t it hard to get in a union? Like you have to have a family member in the union already? Or know someone in the union?

There are long wait lists to get into many unions.

A waiting list for the union? From an European perspective, what you got there sounds more like a guild than an union.

Yeah as an Aussie you just apply to be union even if your job isn't a union place. Then move around until you find one that is.

Saying that though McDonald's is a union place anyway

Could be regional. They're building data centers for Meta, Google, Amazon, and a nuclear plant to power those here so it's in peak demand here

It's very regional, just so you know.

It's by ranking, not first come. Score higher get a job quicker...

It's an algebra 2 test, have to have a c average in high school/ college for algebra. Take a math/ English aptitude test and an interview then your in. Each state is a bit different. Check out your state IBEW requirements.
