    I interviewed with Airgas yesterday and have an interview next week with Air Products. Does anyone have any knowledge on who has the better pay and work environment? Thanks

    Do yourself a favor not don't think u know me, or my work experience. Just because I have a BA in criminal justice from a major university doesn't make me smarter or better than you.

    if you live in Chicago why go to Wisconsin for work? I would say come apply at my job but then again were union and pay a decent wage with free healthcare. you should use your degree and get out of this field as fast as you can they seem to be cutting all the 1099 jobs because all the smart people were making to much money

    regardless, it doesn't matter if you do or don't like unions, you live in a union dense area for jobs. cryogenic tankers, welding gas, etc, are common jobs represented by Teamsters. if you want to find out about these jobs, the union will be able to tell you the pay and benefits, and how they treat their drivers.


    AND, if you don't want a union job that bad, call the company in advance and ask them, i'm sure they will tell you up front.

    Being that I interviewed there and was offered a position there and there was zero talk about it being a union shop means that your supposed info is wrong. Then again, what would you know any way??

    Then again, there are plenty of truckers who don't like facts getting in the way of what they think is a witty but grossly uninformed post. I won't name specific names
