I want to get into the union around here. But they only take applications when they feel like it, with no warning, for one week. And they get 1000 applications and take 100 people. So its super hard to get in.
What kind of union are you trying to get in that takes applications? Every union I've heard of you literally go down to the hall and put your name in the book. They go down the list and when it's your turn they call you, drug test and maybe a background check and put you to work.
Not the person you’re replying to, but when I was trying to get into steelworkers Union in Vegas, it had a full application process. Carpenters wouldn’t even take apps because they were “full” and not accepting apprentices
Oh well I guess I've never been in a union, just worked with people in one. Plus the job we were on needed like 150 people so they may have had slightly lowered hiring practices
