Unions are always better; Union electricians, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, make a lot more in wages and benefits than non-union electricians Source: http://www.join-a-union.com answer #2 ------------ Depends on the local market. In a large city there is more work for a union electrician on large construction projects. In a more suburban or rural area a union electrician may be out of work more than a non-union electrician since most projects are smaller and cost is a big issue. Some electrical contractors work in both worlds, their workers get paid union rates on prevailing wage projects and a lower rate on non prevailing wage projects. Most of these contractors are non-union since the union usually won't work for less money. So union members make more when they work but they may not work as much as a non-union experienced electrician depending on the local market and the contractor they work for.

Very few union members work for minimum wage because they are skilled workers. Union members come together to demand wages that are higher than minimum wage because they offer experience and skills that the unskilled non-union members cannot. When the minimum wage increases by law, there is a smaller difference between the minimum wage and the union wage, and it becomes more beneficial for employers to hire skilled union members than unskilled workers at the minimum wage because the marginal benefit of the union members' skills is worth the marginal cost of the union wages.
