internal union bullshit is no worse then the bullshit at any other job. If you don't believe that read the TPS thread.

Being a pipe-fitter is a pretty good job and depending on your area you can spend your life working in the same plant 9-5 with crazy good call in money. it all depends on your mechanic skills and if you can put up with a bunch of racist old fucks teaching you stuff for 4 years.

I don't think he's being "crazy anti-union." He's correct that union politics can be rockier than politics in the average workplace. But I think a big part of that is just that the prospective worker/union member will be spending most of their time around blue collar folks, who tend to be a little rougher around the edges. Comparing a union pipe-fitting job with a nonunion office job is going to be apples-to-oranges in a variety of ways.
