Union-ized as in forming a union vs un-ionized as in not ionized

Also for additional context, plumbers are frequently in unions and chemists aren't (at least in America where the Webster dictionary is the dialectic expert)

The chemist will pronounce it un-ionized, while the plumber will pronounce it union-ized

Are you a scientist or a plumber?
