Training
There are several ways a Local 509 member are trained.
- Employer training: The employers may train a member at their shop. You would receive employer specific and or industry specific training that benefits both you and the employer. Some of this is governed by our CBA. New employees will receive proper on the job safety training by the employer to ensure yours and others safety.
