    Building Trades Releases Final Report On ABC's Flawed and Failing Apprenticeship Programs PR Newswire
    'For several years we have repeatedly urged the Department of Labor to take action concerning these programs with no response. We must conclude that even in the face of concrete facts, the Department of Labor has chosen to please its political friends rather than remedy a broken system. Building and Construction Trades unions take pride in the fact that we invest hundreds of millions of dollars annually to ensure the highest standards of skills training in every craft. It is deplorable that other programs are allowed to fall so far short,' stated Building Trades President Edward C. Sullivan.

    The complete report is on the Building and Construction Trades Department website: http://www.bctd.org.
