Dear Colleague,

We hope you survived the chaos of the holiday season and had a great new years! We are looking forward to a fantastic and productive 2019.

In this edition of The Dispatch, we have a couple short stories about Laborers Training, a video featuring a unique partnership with Local 185, Training, and CalPIA, and a preview of a contractor profile verification program we'll be rolling out next month.

The Laborers Training School

The Road to Quality Service is Never-ending

A passion for training and a high-quality workforce is what drives the Laborers Training School in Azusa, California. It is evident in all the students, instructors and management who are involved with the program. In existence since 1969, the school has continued to grow and evolve through the years and has established itself as a model program. It is the only construction training program in California accredited by the International Accreditation Service both as a training agency and for its curriculum development. READ MORE

Contractor Profile Verification

As you may know, LECET Southwest maintains a Contractor Directory which contains construction employers that are signatory with the Laborers’ Union in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Western Texas. This directory is used to provide signatory contractors a simple way to find a new partner and to promote signatories to awarding agencies and owners. To keep the information in the Contractor Directory as accurate as possible, we are instituting a new process.

Beginning in February, we will send notices to the email address associated with each contractor profile and request that you verify or update your company's information as it appears in the Contractor Directory. Below is a sample of the email. Please be on the look out for it. Your participation in this process is greatly appreciated.

New Signatory Contractors

The following are a few of the contractors that recently entered into an agreement with a LIUNA affiliate in California, Arizona, or New Mexico. See the full list of new signatories or search our Contractor Directory. FIND A CONTRACTOR
