Union roofing or union laborer? I've been chosen for both apprenticeships and I don't know which one is a better choice? I live in Oregon and the roofing apprenticeship pays more like I'll get $25(cause of my cdl)I believe starting off plus $20 in benefits and top out right now is $40 plus benefits and laborers union is 30-31 top out right now plus I think $15 benefits and I'd start at I think $21. A little about me if it matters is I have no background in construction I'm leaving trucking for this
