Should Electricians Go Union or Non-Union in 2026?
Every electrician has seen it —Union vs non-union.
Scab. Rat.
Name-calling instead of real discussion.
In this episode of The Builder Show, we break down:Where terms like scab and rat actually came from
Why intent and character matter more than labels
Why union vs non-union isn’t a black-and-white issue in 2026How OSHA, DOL, and state licensing actually work
What apprentices should really be asking before choosing a path
Most electricians are just trying to:
Show up.
Work safe.
Get paid fairly.
Go home with the same fingers they came in with.This episode isn’t anti-union or anti-non-union.It’s pro-electrician.If you’re an apprentice, journeyman, contractor, or shop owner trying to figure out what path makes sense for you, this conversation is for you.
