Dear Chairwoman Jauregui and Committee Members,
' Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. Arizona Drilling & Blasting Fisher Grading & Excavation Fisher Ready Mix Southwest Asphalt Southwest Asphalt Paving
Fisher Sand & Gravel - New Mexico, Inc. General Steel and Supply Company
I write this letter in opposition to SB 247. As written, this bill includes a provision that creates a new
barrier to establish new apprenticeship programs. Specifically, subsection 3 of section 2, lines 28-31,
specifically authorize the State Apprenticeship Council to condition its approval on a new proposed
program contingent on whether apprentice wages are the same as existing private programs. Currently
the State Apprenticeship Council establishes minimum wage requirements for indentured apprentices.
This line creates a conflicting wage requirement that can be applied arbitrarily and without consistency.
One program could be approved with a Government approved wage standard and the next program
could be rejected because it does not meet a wage scale established by a private program. This
inconsistency will undoubtedly lead to litigation.
The legislation can stand alone without this provision. We are already facing a massive shortage in
skilled labor in the construction industry. Setting up additional barriers to training is not what our state
or the construction industry needs to succeed.
Please amend SB 247 or oppose it.
Sincerely,
Tommy Fisher President Fisher Sand & Gravel Co.
