As we welcome in a new year, 乐博最新 takes this opportunity to look back on 2020 in this Annual Report.

We look forward with optimism that this new year will bring back some normalcy to our industry and in our daily lives. 一如既往地, we thank our members for their commitment to the betterment of the union heavy and highway construction industry in western 宾西法尼亚.”

This past year started with a new three-year 乐博最新 劳动 Agreement in place, continued efforts to promote jobsite safety, a commitment to build off efforts to promote the crafts as a viable alternative to college and plans for several outstanding events that would provide the opportunity for our members to join together as an industry. 然而, 3月中旬, 随着大流行影响我们的生活, the shutdown of PennDOT and Turnpike projects and the federal government responding to the pandemic by passing hurried and unclear legislation, the Association quickly shifted to respond to the realities of an industry impacted by COVID-19.
The following provides a summary of some of the Association’s more notable responses to the pandemic.

The new training tool was developed in order to help companies to comply with new and changing training requirements.

The training tool has four short quizzes and will generate a certificate. The training can be utilized by contractors to comply with PennDOT requirements, which requires a “process to inform and educate all employees of information contained in the Supplemental COVID-19 安全 Plan prior to restart.” This digital tool allows companies to comply with social distancing recommendations while still completing the required orientation training for their workforce to return to work.
The COVID-19大流行应对培训工具 was developed by Simcoach Games for Local 66 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, the Western 宾西法尼亚 Operating Engineers Joint Apprenticeship & Training Program, and the Constructors Association of Western 宾西法尼亚.
To date, approximately 964 individuals have received certification via this training tool.
