Brothers and Sisters,
On Tuesday June 25, 2019, the Department of Labor (DOL) released a proposal designed to expand apprenticeship
opportunities in the United States. If made final, the proposal would establish a process for creation of
"Standards Recognition Entities" (SREs) that would themselves recognize a new classification of apprenticeship
programs, "Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs" (IRAPs). Very simply put, this would allow non-union
contractors to become SREs and self-certify their own "apprenticeship programs." IRAPs would not be subject to
requirements that our apprenticeship programs and other Department of Labor (DOL) registered apprenticeship
programs are.
The IBEW believes this is extremely problematic and would result in large quantities of "apprentices" being
trained by inadequate programs. In addition, it is possible IRAPs would be a way of undermining prevailing wage.
The process of self-certification and IRAPs generally have no place in our industries. In the proposal released,
the construction industry is "at least initially" exempted from the proposal.
A website has been set up for all rank and file members, their families, and friends to easily submit individualized
comments to the DOL. Comments are due by midnight on August 26th, 2019. Please go to
saveibewapprenticeships.org where you will be asked several required background questions and then have the ability to
self-select prewritten paragraphs to form a comment letter to the DOL. It is possible to edit these prewritten paragraphs by
choosing "edit message" from the list of available options. I encourage you to edit comment letters if you feel comfortable
doing so.
Brother and Sisters; I thank you in advance for your full participation and cooperation.
Fraternally,
Alan Marzullo
