Carpenters suffer with concrete strike By Diana Leone
The Hawaii Carpenters Union Local 745 accepts new apprentices twice a year, in the spring and fall. There are currently 1,200 apprentices, but the union plans to increase the number in anticipation of large military building projects and continued housing construction, Taketa said.
The number of apprentices is up about 80 percent from two years ago, Taketa said, as the industry prepared for an increase in construction.
Another change coming for carpenters is the military's decision to use metal framing on all its upcoming housing projects, Taketa said. In addition to training apprentices in metal framing, the union will be teaching journeymen carpenters that skill -- and will need more classroom space than is available at Honolulu Community College now.------------------------------------------- posted 5:21 AM :: reference link ::
