Union apprenticeships to be discussed

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. -- The Legislature's Committee on Workforce Investment For Economic Development invites the public to attend this month's interim meeting regarding union apprenticeship programs.

The committee will meet at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, in Bridgeport and will hear from Pennsylvania union representatives regarding the training programs there.

"I have long been interested in a program to help a person learn a trade while earning a livable salary, and I think these people will provide important insight as we develop our own legislation," Sen. Chairman Brooks McCabe, D-Kanawha, said in a press release. The committee will meet in Suites 1 and 2 of the Bridgeport Wingate Hotel.
