The main reason I tell lads heading over to the States to go over legally is because if their paperwork is not in order they cannot join the union over there . Outside of the union you are going to get screwed come wintertime , and really really screwed when you have an accident .
For somebody who has been chiding others for their lack of understanding of the real world, you've just demonstrated a serious lack of understanding yourself.

Health and dental benefits, salary, and accident coverage do not have to hinge on being in a union, they hinge on who you work for. Good employers will offer all of those benefits to their people. I have worked in non-union positions for the last 17 years, and my benefit package would shame those available to most people through their unions.
