Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks as we bring you tools to submit comments and take further actions. https://bit.ly/2ISZfGQ

Union apprenticeships are in danger, and we need your help. The Department of Labor has drafted a rule to create pro-employer, non-union apprenticeship programs, called IRAPs.

Please help us educate the Administration about the dangers of these programs by encouraging your fellow members, family and friends to sign this petition. By signing, you'll join thousands of your union brothers and sisters who have already stood up to fight.
