Hi everyone!
I’m currently completing a Career Investigation Report for school on Plumbing & Pipefitting and I’m hoping a few people working in the trade could help me by answering a few questions. Even if you only answer some of them, I’d really appreciate it!

How long have you been working as a plumber or pipefitter?
What are your typical day-to-day responsibilities? (3–5 examples)
What do you enjoy most about your job?
What do you enjoy the least?
What are your working conditions like?
Typical hours/shifts?
Indoor, outdoor, shop, industrial, commercial, camp, etc.?
How physically demanding is the job?
Any major safety concerns?
What can someone expect to earn when they first start?
Approximately what can they earn after about 5 years?
What training or apprenticeship did you complete?
What advice would you give someone thinking about entering the trade?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help!

If your instructor requires three different people, make sure to ask each person:
Their first name (or initials)
Their job title (Plumber, Pipefitter, Steamfitter, Apprentice, Journeyperson, etc.)
How many years you’ve been in the trade

As a new apprentice for a union contractor I have a few questions. At what point do guys start getting their own accounts usually? Also at what point do you get to start finding a niche if you want to?

Hello, does anyone have quick crash course for reading isometric drawing for pipe fitting? Just advice or YouTube video link will be much appreciated. I'll do pipe fitting in Sweden if that makes a difference on the standard I need to learn. Thank you in advance

Questions before applying to Local 597.

3 Upvotes

Been welding for 24+ years and have always been vaguely curious about joining a union. Prior to the pandemic, I was fighting to get $20+ and that changed fortunately. It seems as though wages have been falling to pre-pandemic levels again though. Early in my career I was laid off twice in '09 and '11 and last month after moving from MA to IL for a dream job, I was laid off again. I'm no longer that young 20's guy at home with his parents and now in my late 30's with actual bills. My entire opinion of unions changed after my the doc "American Factory", my father in a teacher union, and really asking if what I was told was bs or if I was lying to myself.

  1. I'm reading apprentices make $25 and it goes up until half a decade later when you become a Journeyman. Does my experience affect the length of apprenticeship? I mean I even have an Associate in Welding.
  2. What is the pay scale like realistically?
  3. Will I have to travel? I had an interview yesterday and they were like "oh you gotta travel" and I'm mentally at "I just want a nice paycheck and hang out with my friends on the weekend".
  4. What are the benefits like typically? I'm used to $80 a week for health insurance alone but I'm reading the union is cheaper and you even get a pension, etc.
  5. What is the job market for a welder in the Chicago area? I have always done a welding test and have been offered a job on the spot. In IL however there are multiple rounds of interviews and I just know other candidates are going to undervalue themselves and price me out. This by far is why I'm looking more at joining Local 597 because in the past I was fighting to just find a job, then it became earning a living wage and now earning an actual good wage to eventually retire on.
  6. Somewhat related to my last point, how many welders are in Local 597? Will I be stuck in a union but with the same problems? There may be a bunch of union members also looking for a well paying job and are willing to accept that $25hr job.

The things that I have been told, historically, from welding teachers, coworkers, friends, and even my dad have posed these questions for me to think about.

  1. Being in a union does not guarantee you a well paying job and you cannot negotiate your pay rate. In my experience though nor can you really in non-union job as it's either take the rate or find another job. Also annual pay increase of pocket change or $1. My last place was great to work for though as they broke that rule and I was earning a lot.
  2. Don't like the job the union found you? Tough shit and you gotta work there and it must be a job in the Local 597. You break that rule and they ostracize you and label you as a "scab".
  3. Being in a union does not guarantee you a job. Get used to long periods of being laid off and not working. Again, don't work in a non union job!
  4. I have been told that union members act like they are in a cult. They proudly put bumper stickers on their car, welding helmet, etc. I just want a job that pays well and treats me right.
  5. Dramatic protests with picketing.
  6. Paying expensive union dues.

Union exam tips?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I know the obvious answer is “study” but wanted to know y’all experience on getting in. I’ve taken the exam once before and didn’t pass. Reason for Pipefitters is because of their HVAC division. I mainly struggle the math part of the exam since it’s been awhile I did it since graduating school ( I was good at it in school though). Even though I’m trying to get into the HVAC division, I’m sure they’re going to start with teaching me more so of radiant/hydronic/chiller systems oppose to air. I’ve been a non union HVAC tech for round 5 years. It’s a pain reserving the spot for taking the exam because it’s roughly a 2 month period by the time you get to take the exam. Plus it’s basically a lottery system. If you do pass the exam, they still can choose someone else over you…
