During last week's Annual Convention, the Workforce Development Committee advised NRMCA members with relevant industry news, including the development of a national image campaign to build awareness of the mixer driver job shortage, ongoing revision of the Concrete Delivery Professional certification program to support driver retention and the status of the JOBS Act, Drive Safe Act, FMCSA’s Entry Level Driver Training regulation, DOL overtime proposal regarding minimum wage levels, the National Labor Relations Board moving in a more friendly directions regarding the Davis Bacon Act of 1931 (prevailing wages on public works projects) and micro-unions.
The committee will next meet in person May 24 - 25 in Chicago. It invites company HR and workforce staff to actively participate. Not only will those efforts support the industry-at-large, they present an opportunity for terrific peer networking.
