It\u2019s a two year initiative funded by different U.S. government agencies as well as partner governments and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative calls for these partners to work together to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Strengthen trade unions.<\/li><li>Support labor legislation reform.<\/li><li>Promote worker organizing.<\/li><li>Advance collective bargaining.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In accomplishing these goals, the initiative will give a voice to workers around the world so they can defend their rights in the workplace and improve their working conditions. The driving idea behind the effort is that this worker empowerment through unionization is the lynchpin to a flourishing democratic society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnions are indispensable to democracy,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidaritycenter.org\/summit-for-democracy-workers-organizations-vital-role\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carmen Foro<\/a>, general secretary of the Central Union of Workers (CUT). This fundamental belief is why the CUT and others like the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) have joined the M-POWER initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Worker holding driver's door of plant vehicle; department of labor news\" class=\"wp-image-3086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Department of Labor and Trucking Alliance Partner to Expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 16, 2021, President Biden announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/12\/16\/fact-sheet-the-biden-%E2%81%A0harris-administration-trucking-action-plan-to-strengthen-americas-trucking-workforce\/#:~:text=The%20Truck%20Action%20Plan%20is,vaccination%20and%20economic%20relief%20efforts.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trucking Action Plan<\/a>, an initiative spearheaded by the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Labor targeted at supporting and expanding access to trucking jobs as part of a greater initiative to address supply chain issues. A key part of that plan \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apprenticeship.gov\/90-day-trucking-apprenticeship-challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90-Day Trucking Apprenticeship Challenge<\/a> \u2014 aimed to recruit employers to offer more Registered Apprenticeship programs to train more people to get good, in-demand trucking industry jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the effort to expand these programs didn\u2019t expire just because the 90-day time frame ended. In March 2022, the DOL announced its partnership with Trucking Alliance, an industry-based coalition of companies, to further expand access to Registered Apprenticeship programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Trucking Alliance is committed to making improvements in training and safety standards for truck drivers a priority and keep our supply chain moving responsibly,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/newsroom\/releases\/eta\/eta20220309-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steve Williams<\/a>, CEO of Maverick USA and president of the Trucking Alliance. \u201cThe efforts by the Biden administration and by the Department of Labor to expand Registered Apprenticeship programs could not be timelier and more important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/04\/04\/fact-sheet-the-biden-administrations-unprecedented-actions-to-expand-and-improve-trucking-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">administration<\/a> has labeled the 90-day challenge a success, noting that over 100 employers launched programs in the 90 days, doubling the number of programs nationwide and paving the way for more than 10,000 new apprenticeships in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis program has built clear paths to careers in truck driving that are fulfilling and offer endless opportunities,\u201d said trucking apprentice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/04\/politics\/trucking-industry-biden-administration-plan\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maria Rodriguez<\/a>. \u201cI feel like I leapt into this new career, and I&#8217;m so happy that I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As unions work with government agencies and organizations to advance both of these initiatives, they can use a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/\">UnionTrack ENGAGE<\/a> to keep members informed and solicit their feedback concerning the efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small><em>Images by: stylephotographs\/\u00a9123RF.com, auremar\/\u00a9123RF.com<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Labor launched the M-POWER and trucking-industry registered apprenticeship program initiatives.
