Looking back on the 10 years I spent in NON UNION construction with no pension plan....those were 10 totally wasted years of my life.
Thank God I was eventually "organized in" to the union in 1991 when my non union employer landed a huge contract to work on Boeing property installing security systems..
My Employer benefitted from "going signatory" with the union because this gave him access to a much higher class of work to bid on.
He was now bidding the large scale jobs that the non union contractors are physically incapable of "manning up" for at a moments notice.
Going union meant I at last had a secure future...knowing full well I would have much more than just SS and a 401 lump sum to live on.
I can't say I've ever heard of any Illegal Aliens joining the skilled trades unions ... .....but a million of them are working non union construction every day.

That's very true.
I've seen a dozen or so illegals every morning hanging out outside of Home Depot hoping to get work, and I admit I've used a couple on a one-day job a few times, although I never asked if they were legal residents or not. They always worked hard and the only problem I ever had was one of them stole some pills from one of my salaried workers that he left in his knapsack. But this was all before Biden threw open the border to the millions of illegals we have now.
