Leave current evening job that’s union for closer morning shift job thats not unioned. Advice needed
Current 1199 Union hospital pharmacist worker for the last 2.5 years unsure of job decision. Currently not vested in the union pension yet as it takes 5 years to be vested. I have three options. I work evening shift and really dislike the hours. The commute is also brutal (1-1.5 hours). I recently received a day shift offer for the same company and slightly higher pay but there is no Union. The commute is slightly better (45 minutes but since it’s in the city I would be dealing with tons of tolls and parking). The hospital is still new so I would be one of its first employees. It’s seems very promising but the fact that it’s not Union really scares me. I don’t know much about non Union but the pension doesn’t seem as good and the fear of no job security is high. However, I know that getting a day shift hospital job in pharmacy is very rare so I also fear what I would miss out on if I give up this opportunity. I also feel that since it is still an up and coming pharmacy department, I would be up there in seniority and the potential for being a manager is high. My last option is a hospital that is 10 mins away from my house. They are very unorganized so they said they would get back to me regarding a position as they are very backed up but it’s been months. I interviewed almost 2 months ago. If I were to get hired it would be for an overnight position with the potential to move to day shift in the future. This is the most ideal job opportunity but I don’t know if or when they will reach out following up about a position. It is also for the same company and it is Union. Unsure about what to do. Do I leave my current job for a non union day job or stay at my current job in hopes that the union job ten minutes away from my house will open up, even as an overnight position?
