A Green Light For Union-Free Job Training?
One of the key goals of the U.S. Department of Labor since President Donald Trump’s second term commenced in January 2025 has been to expand the number of apprenticeships in America to “at least a million.”
Green Jobs Scandal
Big labor is a driving force behind the effort to have the government fund “green jobs.” In Spain, a similar effort was a complete and total disaster. And now it appears we are heading toward the same result.
The Associated Press reports that “After a year of crippling delays, President Barack Obama’s $5 billion program to install weather-tight windows and doors has retrofitted a fraction of homes and created far fewer construction jobs than expected. In Indiana, state-trained workers flubbed insulation jobs. In Alaska,Wyoming and the District of Columbia, the program has yet to produce a single job or retrofit one home. And in California, a state with nearly 37 million residents, the program at last count had created 84 jobs.” Another big labor driven taxpayer boondoggle.
