Abstract
For the past two decades, the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) has been actively involved in the development and implementation of both education and training programs. This look at the IUOE’s response to the need for education and training programs serves several purposes:
-
1.
As an institution that has had considerable success with its programs, the IUOE’s experience can be useful to any institution.
-
2.
As a labor union, the IUOE’s activities provide a realistic example of organized labor’s general role in this area.
-
3.
As a building and construction trade union, the IUOE’s approach to these programs brings about a better understanding of a particular trade and a particular kind of worker.
