Bogus Training by the ABC

08/24/2005

Bogus Training by the ABC: Two business agents from Sheet Metal Workers local #66 have done some
extensive research about the ABC apprenticeship training programs for
several crafts in the state of Washington and parts of Oregon and Idaho.
Their research found a dismal graduation rate in the sheet metalBogues Training , plumbing,
painting and electrical industries. Some graduation rates were zero. The
ABC program was eventually de-certified by the state of Washington and the
Association cannot re-apply as a state approved program for five years. For
a complete look at what the union officials found, along with their
methods, click on the link below. There you'll find a very useful Power
Point show.

Progress", a regular publication by the Sheet Metal Industry
