Good advice, sort of.

Never been happy at a job.

Every job has lumps in the gravy, gotta decide what's a deal breaker, what's a deal maker.

In this area, with my time on this job, I ain't going anywhere soon.
In less than 10 years, I'm out, might check out even sooner.

That said, things change. I would try to keep a son from going to work
there. The union will likely become more of a blessing to the employer
than the employee over time. It wouldn't become the first place of its kind to be union and under compensated.
