Welcome to UnionBoomer — Built by a Brother Who Ran the Road for 37 Years

I spent 37 years on the tools. Three unions — Boilermaker, Carpenter, Pile Driver. Thirteen states, from Alaska bush jobs to Pearl Harbor to New York City. My father was a Boilermaker before me; he worked the toughest bush jobs in the country. I followed his footsteps and added two more trades along the way. In all those years on the road, I never once had a straight answer to the only two questions that matter when you're deciding whether to pack the truck: where's the work, and what does it really pay? So I built UnionBoomer to answer them. Here's the whole site in five minutes — and why it's free for every brother and sister, forever. FIND THE WORK — AND THE REAL PER DIEM Every other job board lies to you. Ghost listings. Per-diem numbers that shrink between the dispatch and the check. "Per diem TBD" — the oldest trick in the trade. UnionBoomer is union-only, and we don't guess. Find The Work lists the big union builds across the country — LNG, nuclear, data centers, chip fabs, the biggest union construction boom in a generation — with the announced per diem right on the card. And here's the rule we never break: per diem is always "announced, not verified" until a brother on the ground confirms what's actually clearing. Announced is a number on paper. Verified is what's in your check. We tell you which is which, every time. That's the moat. Nobody else on the internet does it, because nobody else writing these boards has run the road. ROAD CREW HOTELS — KEEP YOUR PER DIEM When you're running a 30-to-90-day shutdown, the wrong room eats your whole per diem. Road Crew Hotels finds lodging near every job site at rates that leave money in your pocket. And this is the part I'll be straight about, because we don't hide it: when you book through us, the hotel pays us a small cut. It costs you nothing extra. That's what keeps this whole site running and the Print Shop free for every brother. No membership fee — not now, not ever. Just book your road through us, and you're keeping the lights on for the next brother who needs the work. THE WAR ROOM AND THE FREE PRINT SHOP — KEEP IT UNION Finding the union job is step one. Keeping the work union is the long game. The War Room and the free Print Shop are how we fight. Letter campaigns to Congress, to the NLRB, to non-union shops, to brothers working open-shop jobs nearby. Threat letters, hero letters, steward cheat sheets, Davis-Bacon rights cards you can keep in your wallet. Get your steward in it. Get your local in it. It costs you nothing. That's how we Make America Union Again — one letter, one brother at a time. THE BOOMER BRIEF — THE WORK IN YOUR INBOX You don't have time to check a board every day. So once a week, we send you the Boomer Brief: the top-paying union jobs right now, ranked by per diem, straight to your inbox. Sign up free and you're on it. Never miss the big one. FREE FOREVER. BROTHERS HELP BROTHERS. No payment. No catch. No scam. We will never sell your data, never spam you, never let anti-union operatives in — this is hall-verified, brothers and sisters only. I built this over one year, nights and weekends, alone, for one reason: to put union work in front of union brothers and help Make America Union Again. Claim your founding spot — email only, no card, no password. Then go find the work. Boots on the ground. Always. — Eddie Mathieson Retired Union Tradesman · 37 Years · 3 Unions · 13 States
