Jack is right. Down here we have the pipe fitter's union (basically a welding union) and that would be a good one to be in because very rarely do they not have a job to do(from what I've heard). But if things are really slow in your union then go with your boss and assume the economy and everything will get better. My dad has been lineman for a co-op down here for years and the utility companies have been hiring less people and just contracting smaller businesses instead to do the same exact work.
