The future of Boilermaker Apprenticeships and the Integrity of our industry are at risk.  We are asking you and all of your family members to contact the Department of Labor and let them know we are NOT in favor of Industry Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAP) for the construction industry.

Our world-class, registered Boilermaker apprenticeships programs train our members to become highly-skilled, high income Boilermakers through a debt-free, technology-advanced education.  Our earn-as-you-learn programs pay family-sustaining wages and provide health-care coverage and retirement benefits.  They are proven programs focused on the special skills, quality and safety we require of Boilermakers.

However, our program and our future is at risk.  A new proposal by the U.S. Department of Labor could drive down training and labor standards in construction registered apprenticeship programs and set off a race to the bottom throughout our industry.

WE NEED YOU to add a comment during the Department of Labor's proposal comment period.  We also need you to share this with your friends and family!
