There are several ways to do this - \n\nIf you are 16-24 head to Job Corps. They have many different construction trades. Many ofthe programs are directly tied to the union, and the instructors are not "teachers" but union carpenters, or whatever. http://jccdrc.jobcorps.gov/voc_db/search/voc_master_view/voc_offering_list will take you to a list of all the Job Corps Centers and all the possible trades you can learn.\n\nIf you are older - go to your local state apprenticeship office (can't provide the link as you do say where you are) and ask about the trade you want to join.

First you have to see whether there is a need for a union. Ar ethe employees overworked. Not getting overtime. Badly treated. HAve dangerous conditions etc. If so, jsut talk about it and when people get mad enough one will form.\n\nBut if you jsut want a little more money (and are already comfortable) forget it. Noone will join, there is no stimulus!

Are you a carpenter? Is there a carpenters union in your area? If so, contact the union for their requirements.

Look up construction companies in your area, they usually will start you off at that amount.  If that is not your idea of decent work, then check your classified ads in the paper and I am sure you will find something.

Firstly, he has to join the Longshoremans Union.  Then apprentice until he reaches the job or  level he wants.

Is he a licensed contractor?  Contact the state licensing board.  \n\nThe labor board may be able to help you.  \n\nAs a last resort you may need an attorney.

Unfortunately, I'm in a non-union state, so my knowledge regarding this subject is greatly lacking. However, I have been involved in a labor dispute because of this. While I was unable to find what I was looking for at most sites, I did get quite a lot of help (if nothing else they gave me several leads that I should fallow to find the answers I was looking for being non-union labor) , maybe some of that information is of use to you.\nI suggest starting with: The National Right to Work Legal Foundation, Inc.\nhttp://www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm\nI, like most, completely misunderstood what the term "right to work" actually meant. Since I've already answered a couple other questions at great length this evening, I'll not go into details regarding this one. I will tell you that even though they were completely unable to help me directly, they were unbelievably helpful in explaining first who they were able to help, and then in telling me who I needed to contact to find the help I was looking for. Even more amazingly, I was able to get that information from a real live person, by simply calling their 1-800 number and explaining my situation. I'm sure this isn't the intent of their services, but they probably saved me at least several hours of dead end Internet searches, and even more time wasted researching irrelevant laws and regulations.

Go to the company or place you want to work in and ask them to train you for no pay for 1-6 months...and work hard to stay there...\nI am sure they will take you if they see you are really keen to work for nothing to get a job. Like the old Apprentice Training system.. You really cannot get a job without some training.\n\nThe best advice is to enrol in a TAFE and do some training..there are plenty of courses available. You do not have to stay untrained..that is your option.\n\nLife is full of opportunities, but you have to make and take them.\n\nYou can pick fruit, make beds in hotels and motels, serve food, or work as a kitchen had....the local CES will direct you to these jobs...I picked grapes when I was unemployed, and the Swan Valley will soon be needing pickers...and Goulburn Valley will be needing tomato pickers now..Hard work, but it is money..and fun too...I did both and all the above..

how about seeking a teaching status (qualification) in your field of construction with a view to teaching it on a college level etc of whatever equivalent you have in the states.Or write a book on the subject.

I am not in a union anymore. I used to belong to the I.A.M. (International association of machinists and aerospace workers). There were monthly dues. I was a senior shop steward for 3 years. I found that the union was a joke. There were no real benefits. When it came to contract time the company gave what they were going to give anyway. What I mean is there were trained attorneys on their side when all the union had were regular working people that had no real education. \n\nMy name is Jim and I am a machinist (25 years).\n\nIf you are thinking of joining or implementing a union look into it very carefully. Talk to people whom they represent and see what they think of that particular union. \n\nPersonally, I would not join a union.

You need to go to college and take business classes to start. You need a job and save your money so you can purchase the building and equipment. Never rely on others to full fill your dream. It only takes YOU and your hard work and determination.

All you need to do is contact your local electrical union. You will have to pay dues and attend meetings, but you will never have to worry about a job. Ever. Unions are the backbone of America, Good luck.

go and talk to someone who is already doing that job. Get the relevant qualifications, apply for apprenticeships.

I assume these are at will employees since having a union involved can complicate things dramatically. Guidelines can also vary dramatically depending on where you are located e.g. laws in Europe are more strict than in US. Also, you need to consider whether you have any protected groups such as employees over 40 represented. If you have documented or undocumented non-citizens you will need to account for special requirements in this area as well.\n\nI would suggest looking at the site below for some background and then consult with a lawyer who specializes in this area. good luck.
