<strong>Laborers</strong>’ Training Center Partnering to Improve Training<br />

El Centro <strong>de</strong> Capacitación para los Obreros trabaja en Asociación para Mejorar el Entrenamiento<br />

Jeff Armstrong, Instructor Supervisor Jerome Williams and<br />

I, have atten<strong>de</strong>d these meetings, and we have been able to<br />

in<strong>for</strong>m our contractors of the training opportunities available<br />

to them at no cost.<br />

Local 1130 received a request <strong>for</strong> a High Scaling class<br />

from signatory contractor Bill Holloway of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />

Drilling and Blasting, in or<strong>de</strong>r to start work on a project.<br />

The Training Unit was dispatched to the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Drilling<br />

and Blasting site, and the Introduction to High Scaling class<br />

was presented by Instructor Rick Roath and was a success.<br />

There are requests <strong>for</strong> another class, and Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />

Training is requesting <strong>for</strong> Rick to teach the class in their<br />

area.<br />

We continue to receive requests from our Shotcrete<br />

Signatory Contractors, and the <strong>Laborers</strong>’<br />

Locals <strong>for</strong> ACI Certifi cation of our shotcrete<br />

laborers. We have built a relationship with<br />

Examiner Chris Zynda, Presi<strong>de</strong>nt of the American<br />

Shotcrete Association, and the Training<br />

Center hosts the classroom examination and the<br />

practical examination <strong>for</strong> both the vertical and<br />

overhead certifi cations.<br />

The <strong>Laborers</strong>’ Training Center received a<br />

donation of tunneling materials from Mr. Doug<br />

Bailey, Project Manager <strong>for</strong> Michels Pipeline<br />

Construction. Mr. Jim Wood, Business Representative <strong>for</strong><br />

Local 1130, was key in obtaining the tunneling materials,<br />

and even assisted in the loading and unloading the equipment.<br />

The Training Center is in the process of <strong>de</strong>veloping<br />

a training program on safe tunneling methods, and the<br />

contribution by Michels Pipeline will help in the success<br />

of the program. The commitment of Michels Pipeline was<br />

expressed in a letter from Mr. Doug Bailey, “We at Michels<br />

Tunneling <strong>de</strong>sire the ability to obtain trained and qualifi ed<br />

miners from the <strong>Laborers</strong>’ local labor pool and there<strong>for</strong>e<br />

fi nd that supporting a program such as this as being benefi -<br />

cial to both contractors and the union. We hope to be able<br />

to continue to provi<strong>de</strong> assistance in your ef<strong>for</strong>ts to provi<strong>de</strong><br />

realistic training in safe tunneling methods.”<br />

Partnering with our signatory contractors, our Union<br />

Locals, LECET Southwest, and training organizations will<br />

ensure that The Training Center will continue to keep the<br />

lines of communication open, so that the training we offer<br />

our members will meet the construction industry <strong>de</strong>mands<br />

of the present and future.<br />
