North American Building Trades Union President Sean McGarvey & Sheet Metal Workers Local 17 Member Shamaiah Turner out of Boston have joined together to author an Apprenticeship Labor Perspective that recently appeared in Common Wealth Magazine.  They write: Now is a banner moment to join a Building Trades Union, especially with the passage of the bipartisan Federal Infrastructure Bill which is creating vast amounts of new funding to repair and strengthen the roads, bridges, public transit, airports, schools and more that support our Nation and our economy.  Becoming a Union Building Trades Worker has changed our lives.  As Apprentices, there was no need to shell out thousands of dollars in tuition fees or take out loans to get a foot in the door like many other young Americans.  Instead, we get paid to receive top-notch training from industry leaders.  Now we are working to pay it forward by creating opportunities for others, helping make every construction job an excellent Union Career and ensuring everyone has the same access to these opportunities.
