Carpenters Fined Over Training Mix-up By Tony Illia, McGraw-Hill Construction ENR
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America was fined $4,200 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for falsely claiming that its Las Vegas training facility was certified to teach lead-based paint removal. The $22-million, 176,289-sq-ft center opened in March 2001 and certifies union instructors in general carpentry and construction skills to educate its 525,000 rank-and-file members. President Bush, who toured the center last year during his re-election campaign, called the carpenters’ apprenticeship program, "a program that works."
