San Antonio Trane is a Union shop. You might want to try Siemens.

Forget the title "Service Tech", it's far too vague. "HVACR Tech" is far better. Anyway, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration being represented by the Sheet Metal Workers Union is a joke - that isn't...

If California labor law says Double Time after 12 Hrs, then that supersedes you CBA. Double Time on Holiday Days and Sundays are different than Double Time in excess of 12 Hrs worked.

There was a guy out here, really pushing the Union word. He was working for one of those shops that I mentioned. I work for a different shop that I mentioned. He said most people he talked to were...

In my opinion, the UA should be pursuing Daikin-McQuay, Emcor, Hussman, Trane and even Source Techs nationwide, not just here or there. Overall, UA HVACR is the least of the UA's concerns. At least...

So what happens if a few of the Local signatory shops are interested in you? Does L#597 block your hire?

Too much imbalance in the UA, around here the Locals can't even bring in new members. New Apprentices aren't beng produced.

How does Source pay DT?

Do you guys go into DoubleTime after 12 Hrs.?

There's no way that HVACR Technology can be classified as Pipefitting!

If I'm not mistaken, Industrial Construction Jm is $4.30/Hr. higher than Commercial Construction Jm. Both Service and Construction are Building Trades. There's no Metal Trades in Local 469, but they...

Local 469 has a split scale which is comparable to some Locals' A, B, and C Cards. The highest is Applied Service Jm and then comes Commercial Service Jm.

Source and non-Union Hussmann (here in the SW) works 50-60 Hr Wks, 70-80 Hr Wks when on-call stand-by. They can keep those Hrs, I'd rather do a Union 40 Hr Wk at $5 more an Hr!

So Hillphoenix is Union in CA? I was told that they're non-Union here. Guys at Source (and even non-Union Hussmann here) tend to compare their 60 Hrs paychecks to 40 Hrs Union shops paychecks. Of...

I believe both "branches" are the same one. I think one of them is a satellite operation. I was told by their office that they're non-Union. Are you with HS or the company headquartered in Anaheim?

I still don't understand how Air Conditioning and Refrigeration repair, maintenance, etc. is a Metal Trades classification.
So in NYC, a Chiller Tech is a "B-Card" Jm? "B-Card" as in Local 638B....

That sounds real good. Here Union SJm Electricians are $13/Hr less than Union SJm HVACR Techs. I don't know about any electrical utilities lineman though. Do you work for SBT?

Are you saying both Electricians and HVACR Techs in your area make over $100K/Yr.?

I've never met an Electrician making anywhere near $100K/Yr. I've never met a Union Electrician making more than a Union HVACR Tech. Maybe, and it's stretch, a Union Electrician might make more than...

I'd like some info on Daikin-McQuay in Orlando. I've been told they're non-Union at the branch and are Union in Disneyworld. Any more info is good. I know Orlando has a low starting Jm wage.

Would you say Hussmann-Chicago is good Union shop to work at?

So is your take on all this about New England, or Chicagoland as the thread states?

There's no non-Union states. You must mean non-RTW. Also non-RTW doesn't mean employment-at-will.

Non-Union state?
