Union wage subsidy fuels bid battles and union growth
The union electrical wage subsidy, called the electrical industry advancement program, pays labor shortfalls up to 14 dollars per hour with the balance covered by union funds. Since its start, 50 locals have adopted it, with Cedar Rapids Local 405 and others signaling potential starts in 1986. The scheme aims to boost union work, reduce bids by non union firms, and fund advertising and seminars.
