what kind of trade is the local 8?
im in the local 104 union doing sheet metal and heating and air conditioning.

i was in the trade for 6 years working for a non union shop and wanted to leave and work where my buddy works but i couldnt just get hired on.
i had to get on the list at the hall and wait for my buddys shop to call me in,then i went into the hall and filled out my paperwork.


but u can just go in pay your dues/or initiation fees and they can find work for you.

i just waited till i got on with the shop where i wanted to work at.

I didn't get in. I wish I did though. A couple of months ago, they had openings for applications. I applied and got the application and filled it out. At the same time I was applying for BART. I had a test date for the elevators union, but couldn't make it because of interview days at BART. I ended up getting the BART job though. Which is union (SEIU). But I couldn't make it to the test date for the LOCAL 8. But my friends that did make it and pass it. Have interviews with them (LOCAL 8). There was shit load of people that applied for it and passed. But once you pass it, you go to the interview in front of a panel. They have a scoring system for the interview process. Depending how how you score, is how high your on the list. I'm pretty sure they're other variables, but that's what I was told. Your on that list for 2 years. When openings are available they go down the list and when your name is called. Then your good! But yeah, they pay pretty good. $25.XX for the apprentice program.
