[QUOTE=Friendlee;190879]I am a cadet at Great Lakes Maritime Academy and am trying to get a feel for what I want to do after I graduate as well as the industry. What are the pros and cons of a Union? Which is best? Is a private company better? Thank you[/QUOTE]
First question is what sector, deep-sea, the Lakes? In general I’d say if the sector you are interested in has decent union representation then that’s the way to go if you are in it for the long term.
