1. Find a local labor union
You can find a local labor union on the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations’ (AFL-CIO) website. Your local labor union can guide you to employers and their websites with job postings. Consider reaching out to union officials for help too. The AFL-CIO website also has the option to request that a union organizer contact you to help.
2. Find An Apprenticeship Program
Since many employers hire skilled trades like plumbing, electrical, and carpentry, a good way to get a union job is by having experience and training in these trades. Your apprenticeship program may be able to connect you with unions in the industry or employers who are unionized and are looking to hire skilled professionals.
Do The Work, Get The Benefits
As you can see, there are many great benefits that come with a union job. So be sure to follow the suggestions above to give yourself the best chance of landing one.
