364 is also the local pipefitters union in Alaska.  However there is a lot of non-union pipe work up there.  That's where I was born and raised and I would say the majority of the work done outside of pipeline maintenance is non-union.  And even that is both union and non.  Just my .02, Alaska is a word of mouth, reputation hire state whether your union or not.  If your not good, you won't last and in reality it's somewhat hard to get out the first time unless somebody knows you.  I'm not saying this is right or wrong, just saying this is the way it is in the areas I've worked.  Try CH2M Hill or ASRC Energy for starters . . . . . . a lot of fab shops on the North Slope are 100% X-ray shops.  They have a very low repair rate and are justifiably proud of it.  Bring your A game if your headed to the slope, without a doubt some of the best work there in some of the worst conditions.

Dunno, it's been so long since I've made the rounds. Everything has probably changed hands. Testing Institute of Alaska has sold out. The last time I called up there I had to make sure they sent me my old certs. I looked like an 80's rocker on my card, mullet and all.........

I worked for quality when they were rebuilding the fedex hanger. I believe it was around '92'
