Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 777

 

RE: Continuing Education

 

Dear Mr. Juliano,

 

The continuing education program adopted by the State Of Connecticut has been the subject of much controversy and concern by many of the 8,000 licensed plumbers throughout the state.  The General Law Committee has agreed take another look at this requirement during a public hearing tentatively scheduled March 8, 2005.

 

Special interest groups represented Local 777 at the public hearing which originally discussed the continuing education issue.  They requested to submit a statement on behalf of Local 777 which endorsed continuing education for plumbers and pipe fitters.  Unfortunately, the document he submitted is not included in the transcript of the public hearing.

Thanks to State Senator Thomas Colapietro, we will have an opportunity to discuss continuing education once again. 

 

Please advise me what the local's position is regarding continuing education. 

 

Most importantly, please advise the rank and file members of local 777 they now have a chance to have their voices heard with regard to a law that was passed without their input.

 

Should you wish to discuss this matter, please call me at your earliest convenience. (860 4473903)

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Murray Renshaw
