In this video, three sprinkler fitters share how one smart career move has enabled them to provide a better quality of life for their families.

Don tells us that having the owners of his company pay for his insurance and his retirement is huge to him. For him, it is a big deal knowing that he can work until the day he dies and that his family will be taken care of. He can go home at the end of the day and rest easily knowing that his family is going to be taken care of if anything ever happens to him.

Kelly is a single parent and her decision to join the sprinkler fitter union has afforded her to put clothes on her children’s backs, food on the table and give her kids some of the extras in life. Being a member of the union means that she doesn’t have to struggle. She no longer has to worry about not being able to feed her kids or going hungry herself because she can’t make ends meet.

Scott has worked steadily as a union sprinkler fitter 27 years and he knows that it has done well for his family. Between the benefits he receives and the good wages he earns, he can’t understand why anyone would want to do anything differently.
