Union but it's one of those bad unions you've heard so much about. Very non-radical, and they do not take kindly to people suggesting we eat the owners.
I've noticed that most union manufacturing jobs "make up" for their great wages and benefits by running insane schedules and I don't understand why the unions haven't fixed this.
I'm in a similar field and that's the only reason I haven't sought out a union job.
I think it's a combination of american brainworms where everyone thinks they're petit-bourgeois and a lot of the senior members/leadership being very financially comfortable. Some of my coworkers that are now near retirement raised a family on a single income just from this job and now are going to sell their houses for insane amounts of money.
Sadly the 24/7 schedule is necessary, so even under communism this job would still exist in some form, and be bad. Ideally we'd get the shift compensation up, though, as it's currently only around 10% extra.
Union or non-union?

Well yea 24/7 may be necessary but the scheduling I'm talking about includes things such as 60+ hours a week, on call 24/7, no weekends etc.

Ah, yeah, it's not that bad here. While The Schedule sometimes has me working 50+ hours, it averages out to ~35.
