You will never see a cable union in your life time. Union labor sounds like "Price Fixing" to the cable MSO's. You can join the IBEW/CWA anytime, they are always looking for someone to pay their monthly dues, so all the union people can fly off to LV for union assoc meeting, etc. Union's in today industry are almost non existing compared to 1950-60-70's. Quit bitching, Just do your work, maintain your personal pride and work ethics. Your make out ok in the cable world.
