Vote for apprenticeship BY INDRANI SEN, Newsday.com
About a hundred union workers stood and applauded thunderously last night as the Brookhaven Town Board unanimously approved a resolution requiring construction contractors on town jobs worth more than $250,000 to have state-approved apprenticeship programs.
'This is a win-win for the township,' said Jack Kennedy, president of the Nassau-Suffolk Building Trades Council. Kennedy has for some time been lobbying Brookhaven to join Nassau and Suffolk counties and Babylon, Huntington and Oyster Bay towns in passing the measure.
Before yesterday's meeting, however, nonunion contractors grumbled that the measure will give unions a competitive advantage in the bidding on contracts for town jobs.------------------------------------------- posted 9:28 AM :: reference link ::
