TRADE UNIONS AND MINORITIES

A worthwhile program, the Apprenticeship Skills Achievement Program (ASAP) might have ended in April 2012.

 

 

"ASAP  is designed to help Northeast Ohio minorities gain entry into the building and construction trades."

 

 

Please read Mark Naymik's November 10, 2011 article called:  "Rift over minority hiring among trade unions gets some attention with bigger issues still unresolved"

 

 

 

We urge you to contact Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, and Senator Sherrod Brown and ask that the U.S. Department of Labor continue to keep the program alive (to keep funding it).
