Know the Rules of Training 2nd Quarter, 2010 Following are the basic guidelines for training - all three training locations have the same rules...
Any Union member in good standing, can participate in the training classes; however, students will only receive a training stipend for successful completion of the class AND only if the student has not taken the same class within two years. A student can attend the class and receive the training prior to the two years; however, they will not be issued a training stipend. Students will only receive a stipend reimbursement for successfully completing the entire class. Checks will only be processed if the student attended each day (in its entirety) of training. Any stipend checks that have not been cashed within 60 days will not be re-issued. Students that wish to attend an advanced class, that requires a pre-requisite, must have completed the basic class first (for example: a member that wishes to attend a Hoisting and Rigging course must have attended the one-day math class; a member interested in taking the Welding class, must have completed the Burning class) . Certain extensive training classes contain material that is covered in more basic classes (i.e., the 30-Hour OSHA class includes the 10-Hour OSHA class material; and the Scaffold Builder covers the material in the Scafold User class). In this instance, if a student has received training in the more extensive class, the student can attend the basic course, but will not receive the stipend. Students who fail to cancel a training seat will be marked as a "No Show", their waiting applications will be discarded and they may not be eligible for training for one year. When Attending Class
A current union card and picture I.D. must be presented on the first day of class prior to admission into the class. Proper clothing must be worn to class everyday-this includes long pant, shirts with sleeves and work boots ingood condition.
