Clinton: We are Getting Shafted on Shale Training from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"With the boom in natural gas mining, and with Black unemployment nearly twice that of Whites, African American Workers Union founder Calvin Clinton saw an opportunity to provide training for unemployed Blacks and low-income residents to take advantage of jobs drilling at the Marcellus Shale. Since his union has previously provided training for 13 other construction-related skilled trades, under the auspices of the US Department of Labor, he thought getting the certification for two new training programs would be routine. It has not, and Clinton believes the Pennsylvania Bureau of Labor and Industry’s State Apprenticeship and Training Council is actively quashing his application."
