    Non-union apprentice programs fail, study indicates By Mark Gruenberg, Workday Minnesota
    Apprenticeship training run by unions or their affiliated contractors had graduation rates of 58 percent for electrical apprentices, 52 percent for plumbers and 51 percent for operating engineers. Non-union programs in those crafts had graduation rates of one-half to one-third of the union rates.
