Why training? I've seen it work. I've seen us secure work and strengthen jurisdiction time and again, and I believe in the value of it. It's been my privilege to be part of Local 510's training program since its inception more than twenty years ago.

Most of you have been a part of our training program. Each one of can contribute to create a better, safer and happier work environment. We've come a long way, and there's still a long way to go. We are leaving a legacy that proves that our union is greater than the sum of its individual parts. That's something to be proud about.

Ground School For Riggers

Just in time for Semicon Local 510's JATC held 3 days of classes July 1 through 3 to teach the rigging arts. The classes were geared towards groundpersons but students were given hands-on experience in every aspect of the craft from boom lift driving to sign hanging. A great time was had by all.
