Roadmap for Small and Emerging Contractors in San Diego County
 

 

third Floor—assemble your business team
Step 12. Decide if you will be a union or merit shop company

 

Discussion:  you will need qualified and trained employees; apprenticeship programs (from whom you draw apprentices and ultimately graduate journeymen) exist for both union and non-union (merit shop or open shop) companies. There are advantages and disadvantages for both. Get a lot of information and weigh your options carefully, because, while you can switch later, this is a pretty basic decision, which affects most other decisions down the line.
