They both do concrete forming. 506 is industrial, instiutional and commercail (subways, sewers, warehouses stuff like that) and 183 is residential and roads. What I was told was that local 506 is better for newer guys since they are smaller and you're less likely to fall through the cracks. I hear locall 183 is much bigger with more opportunity but better for more experienced guys who know how to navigate companies and the union. This was what I heard from a former site sup with local 506 who I think is a pretty trustworthy guy.

Pretty sure it’s 183 that does the concrete forming work. I work in Highrise and have only come across 183 members.
183 does residential concrete form work, 506 does commercial concrete form work.
183 gets paid an extra dollar more than 506 per hour, but 506 gets paid double time instead of time and a half on Saturday shifts.
With that all said, I'm not sure who has the better benefits / pension....
Sorry I’m late,, but There must be a grey area somewhere, as I am in the high rise builders sector and I get double time for saturdays.
Have you looked into the Davis Bacon determinations?
