Union apprenticeship programs are a time-tested model for building a skilled, safe, and diverse workforce. From classroom training to hands-on experience, they set the standard for excellence in the construction industry.

Construction worker shortage? More like a shortage of decent wages, safe worksites, and basic respect. Funny how union jobs don’t have that problem. 🤔
