This week, the @USDOL took action to prevent employers from misclassifying workers – meaning more workers will earn full and legally earned wages.
The rule is a massive win for working families like ours and will hold unscrupulous contractors accountable.

You should have seen the Hansen kids' eyes pop out of their heads when I told them that apprentices in HVAC/Refrigeration at the Seattle Area Pipe Trades start at $33/hour (!), get paid from their first hour in training (!!), get full medical for family and pension (!!!)…
It's official: After more than 70k UA members made their voices heard, @USDOL will officially rescind the anti-worker IRAPs rule on Monday – a massive win, ensuring our gold-standard registered apprenticeships remain the best in the industry.
