Painting job (drywall etc, contractor etc)?

my boyfriend has experience in painting but the problem is he needs a job with benefits (a union job) (he's black) so that is the reason why he says he can't get hired yeah he finds plenty of jobs off the books but he needs benefits... does anyone know of a job or a way to get a job with benefits for him please he' s really good and this is his dream job.....any info would help thanks in advance.Painting job (drywall etc, contractor etc)?
I can't believe what I just read. Your boyfriend claims he can't get a job because he is black? That's crap. Have him go to the local union hall and they will be more than happy to get him in the game. However, the economy is slowing down and building is too. I would also suggest to try a local building material supplier one that specializes in commercial construction and apply there. If he know what he is doing sales people with experience in the field are worth a lot of money.Painting job (drywall etc, contractor etc)?
I work in new construction as a painting contractor and every trade wether it is plumbing, electricians,carpet layers,the owner of the company offers benefits,they would have no employees if they did not offer benefits ,it is part of doing business...like the above post mentioned tell him to go to the union and they will find him a place .
Very few construction jobs have benefits. How about Home Depot or Bechtel? Retail doesn't pay very well, but there may be benefits and opportunities that aren't available in construction work. Bechtel or some of the large commercial construction companies do provide benefits.
