As for those who learn on their own. You would be hard pressed to find a significant number of self taught welders, plumbers, electricians as skilled as the union guys.

As for your welders, if they are not certified, we would not buy anything from them.
What does learning from a more experienced co-worker have to do with the union? Companies set this up all the time, how is the union involved?
