>NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Hundreds of young men are sleeping on the streets of Queens Sunday night for a shot at a job.
CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported they are waiting for an application to the Plumbers Union Apprenticeship Program. One thousand applications are handed out in order Monday morning. After tests and interviews, only a percentage are accepted to the five-year program.
Poor saps. Thinking that a trade is a good career move instead of going to school for STEM.

Non-citizens are allowed to serve in the armed forces, like France does with their foreign legion in order to gain citizenship. These people are often granted high security level clearances, put in positions of power and/or authority.
To think that H-1B and H-2b workers won't take over STEM fields is both shortsighted and retarded.

>Average american's are anti-union
As much as you fags go on about it, the reason we have such a superior quality of life down under is largely attributable to our union movements.
It does help they aren't ENTIRELY corrupt though.

>As much as you fags go on about it, the reason we have such a superior quality of life down under is largely attributable to our union movements.
The quality of life for the "average" Australian might be a bit better than the "average" American, but the quality of life in America for the "above average" is far better than the "above average" in Australia.
Plus, the Australian and American mindset from birth is different. You people believe that you'll probably never be better than average, while the American believes they'll be better someday. Don't get me wrong, that's okay, I'm not knocking that. Just need some tasty waves and a cool buzz, bro. I get it. I prefer the American mindset, and believe that's what makes us better than the rest of the world.
But that's an another extremely long discussion that I don't want to get into right now but, back to the point, I don't disagree that the quality of life for the "average" Australian, like a waiter or something, is probably better. I just don't want to be a waiter for the rest of my life.

I'm from Chicago. You have no idea how insane it truly is.

since you took the time to type out this rather long post, can you please explain your point here about how is "incalculably stupid"?
We can all agree that these days unions are corrupt as hell, but aren't they a sort of necessary evil to ensure that pay/benefits for workers stay in a somewhat fair range?

My grandfather is a Master Plumber and makes $90 an hour.

It's been tried. It lead to huge issues with selling privileged information. The whole clearance system is a big trust and risk assessment program.
Being a foreign national is too much risk. Even having foreign national parents is a big risk. As for enlisted foreign nationals getting clearances, that's simply not true. They're scrutinized just as hard. Being enlisted doesn't help your chances much of being denied a clearance.

Jonathan Adams
>aren't they a necessary evil
No. The problem isn't workers are assembling. That's a healthy and natural part of a free market. The problem is they have special privileges granted by the government. Which leads to corruption and market distortions. Along with a violation of property rights and rights of individual workers.
Robert Brooks
>Thinking that a trade is a good career move instead of going to school for STEM. My step son is in a plumber apprenticeship program. He graduates later this year. Its not union, but some plumbing businesses run it. They pay his expenses and he works during the day for a plumbing contractor who does commercial jobs like hotels and offices. New construction.
After he grads, he will make more than any first year stem grad except kikeberg who goes to work for daddy.

I wish my high school guidance counselor had mentioned the words "trade school" to me. I was told all my life from K-12 that I had to go to college and get a degree (any degree!) or I would be flipping burgers for a living.
Luis Ortiz
Lets say you own a company and you need someone to make.. lets say.. repairs or just to program something.
Would you rather recruit a fresh engineer who has all the theory but doesnt know how to operate/repair something or it just programs in a mediocre way, or a technician who is highly trained and is able to do the same task without any additional training, in a shorter ammount of time and in exchange for a slightly lower wage?
Im finishing an ECE degree. A good trade will always be better than a master's degree in an engineering field. The only upside of college is versatility and the acquired habit for learning new things, but most employers just want somebody ready for the job at the very start.

>ensure that pay/benefits for workers stay in a somewhat fair range? Depends. Unions are good, but only for those workers who are in the union. Unions serve to drive up the price, so in a union-dominated industry, costs go up for producers and subsequently for consumers. Also, as strong unions secure most of the contracts, getting a job outside of the union becomes increasingly difficult. For every extra dollar a union demands without any more production to show for it, that's one less dollar that can get spent on hiring more workers, starting more projects, expansion, etc. It's kind of like minimum wage in that regard.
Now, I'm in a union, but that's only because they offer the best pay so far. Once I'm able to work for myself, I will. Fuck paying their outrageous dues and having them spend it on frivolous bullshit.
