IEC Presence on DOL’s Advisory on Apprenticeship Sways PLA Discussion

During a recent Working Group conference call with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Advisory on Apprenticeship, a discussion emerged on the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) and Community Labor Agreements (CLA).

The proposal was issued during the call, stating that language should be included in communications between the DOL and Housing and Urban Development that would favorably mention the use of PLAs and CLAs as the best way to promote job growth in Job Corps related programs and their ties with apprenticeship programs.

IEC’s Vice President of Training & Education Bob Baird was on the call and was able to voice his concerns on this proposal, stating that the biased perspective would not benefit apprentices of merit shop contractors, thus hurting job growth. After this discussion, it was agreed upon to consider incorporating more balanced language to benefit both union and non-union apprenticeship programs and their support for pre-apprenticeship programs such as Job Corps.
