****Notice from Executive Director Kristen Spath****
Hello Sisters and Brothers,
2023 has arrived and Safety Trainings will begin February 18th. Two Forklifts and one 3-Hr/10Hr are already full. This year we have added Rigging & Signaling, Grade Checking, Harassment, and Lifestyle Awareness to the training schedule. For your information, the more trainings attended the more of a safety bonus at the end of the year. All training will need to be completed August 31st, 2023. For this year, anyone who attended training in 2022 were sent a 2023 Training Schedule through USPS on January 20th, 2023. Our office will keep adding addresses and emails for next years' mass mail out.
CDL Training is full for the 2023 Training Year. There is a waiting list for 2024.
Please visit our new Member Assistance Program page for information on ways the Operating Engineers Local 953 and your health insurance can help you with addiction, depression, anxiety, etc. We are here for our members and we are here for those who are struggling in their personal lives.
Our office hopes all of our brothers and sisters stay safe! See you all for training!
