I’m looking to get out of warehousing and into the trades. Hopefully carpentry as I’ve always had this little thing for it sense highschool. I don’t have any sort of experience professionally in that field and I can’t seem to find places who may take me on without 3-5 years of experience I’ve tried searching entry level only and I’ve tried calling places.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me to move into that sort of field
I live in Wisconsin so union here leads to long lay off time gaps

So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
