There is more than one way to join the labor movement!

People who want to work with the protections of a union contract can either organize their current workplace or go to work at an already unionized employer.

Below is a list of some unionized employers and union trade apprenticeship and training programs in North Carolina, the county or counties where these opportunities exist, and information on how to apply.

Call us at 919-833-6678 x10 or email [email protected] for information on how to contact individual unions if you would like to learn more about the opportunities below before applying.

Click here if you would like to talk to a union organizer about unionizing your current workplace in North Carolina.
