That would be me
While I don't doubt that many iron worker union types know their trade, they would also know their trade if the unions did not exist. Other than in your mind, there is nothing magical about skills of union workers vs skills of non union members. There are plenty of industries that require a skilled workforce that are non-union. Sure it would be hard for a new small non union company to compete with union labor in a community that is dominated by unions, but that is not because unions and only unions can produce talented workers....It simply means that the majority of the talented workers belong to the union that presently has the monopoly on that type of business in that area.
You naturally paint us union haters as emotionally being unable to see your logic in regards to unions....I would respectfully counter that your emotional attachment to your union career simply wreaks of an understandable biased point of view.
As a teen, I worked summers for my non-union carpenter grandfather. I KNOW for a fact that there are plenty of HIGHLY skilled non-union contractors.
