Journeyman Training

ISSUES AND ANSWERS ABOUT JOURNEYMAN TRAINING AND RAISES

A simple reporting form will be developed allowing contractors to report training they conduct to be reported. A certificate or copy of this form could/should be furnished to the member and sent to the apprentice office.

At the lower pay scale until they can prove that they have gotten 8 hours of upgrade training. (If this happens in year four of the contract what wage scale would they be paid at? Do we go all the way back to the 6/1/12 wage scale or the wage scale from the preceding year?) Consensus, the wage scale from the previous year should be used.


Immediately. (Does this mean on the next paycheck or starting with the next pay period?) Consensus, the raise should go into effect the next pay period.

The fringe benefit increases will be paid (because they have to be) and those increases will have to be taken off of the member’s paycheck. The fringe benefit increases will be paid (because they have to be) and the member will actually receive a raise to the extent of the benefit increases.

Contractors should consult with their attorneys before determining which approach they want to take.


Besides communicating the decisions and ground rules set down by this Joint Committee to their members the IMCA Board will support enforcement of the ground rules by their participation on the Joint Arbitration Committee.

By IMCA’s continuing participation on this Joint Committee and through decisions handed down by the Joint Arbitration Committee on violations of the training clause of the contract. Monitoring and tracking the upgrade training will be done by the Apprentice Program, a jointly trusted organization funded by contractor/member contributions. 


No. The requirement in the contract is that a member must receive 8 hours of training to obtain the next raise. There was a consensus that there would be some leeway here. For example: If a class is supposed to last 8 hours and is finished in 7 ½ hours the committee felt the member should get credit for the 8 hours.


The question was also asked if someone took a 40 hour welding class if that would satisfy their 8 hour training requirement for the next five years. The answer is no. The 8 hour requirement is per year to be taken during the year.


The Apprentice Program seems to be the most logical choice to track the training. The comment was made that the Union was once again responsible for monitoring the program. It was pointed out that the Contractors feel that they are the ones paying for the apprentice program. It was agreed that the apprentice program is a joint program of the Union and Contractors. 


It was determined that this clause of the contract should apply to apprentices as well as journeymen. (It was unclear to me whether that meant that the apprentices had to take training in addition to their apprentice classes or not.) The consensus was that apprentices have to take one of the approved classes even if that class isn’t offered as a part of the regular apprentice program curriculum. 


If a member takes online or some other type of training they will be responsible for obtaining a certificate of completion and sending a copy to the apprentice office.
