  • New Trump apprenticeship rules are like the fox guarding the henhouse

    What will he think of next????? I swear it seems like he sits up there in the White House dreaming up what he can do next to destroy unions, worker rights, worker protections!

    New Trump Labor Department apprenticeship rules, opening training for building trades jobs to cut-rate non-union firms and their bosses – while threatening quality training and building standards – are “like the fox guarding the henhouse,” a veteran construction union apprenticeship trainer says.

    But workers and unions concerned over the Trump DOL scheme don’t have much time left to object. Deadline for comments is Aug. 26, the Laborers report. Comments can be filed, via building trades unions, at https://www.saveconstructionapprenticeships.org/#/34.

    At the behest of the corporate class and particularly non-union construction companies, the Trump DOL wants to establish new certification requirements for Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAPs) that put the cut-rate contractors and their lobby in charge of crafting new non-registered apprenticeship programs with minimal government oversight.

    The proposed industry-backed rule is a direct attack on union Registered Apprenticeship Programs, which provide rigorous skills and safety training and must meet strict requirements set and enforced by DOL.
