I’m in local 638, got about 7 years in, and about 4 years prior doing non-union work. love the job, tired of NY. Anyway, I know Florida is pretty heavy on the ‘right to work’ laws, but I know there’s a fitter union out there. Was wondering how well worked the union is out there and if anyone thinks it’d be worth switching.
I believe it’s local 630.

Isn't the pay scale down south absolutely trash?
Pretty sure the Miami area local makes about $24 an hour. We’ve got a bunch of travelers from down that way working in my area right now and honestly I don’t know how a person could live on their pay without being a suitcase fitter.
We’re full-up everywhere else. Sorry, you have to stay in NY. If you’re not afraid of the cold Minnesota/Midwest has steady work usually.
The further north you go in Florida the more southern it is. Idk where 630 is but the further south in FL it is the better it will be. (Worked 2 years out of local 234, Jacksonville)
Going from a non rtw to a rtw state will be very disappoinying
