We tend to promote our best worker to supervisor. Although this may seem like a good idea, many times it backfires. This intensive 2 day training program, presented by MCAA Field Leaders Conference Veteran Instructor Kevin Dougherty, is designed specifically for improving the performance of any manager or supervisor. This program addresses proven training methods in: leadership, coaching, planning, time management, communication, motivational techniques and many more skills which will give the attending supervisor the edge and confidence to deal with to today’s challenges. This program is not a lecture; it is hands on program utilizing real world exercises and video recorded role plays that all attendees will utilize.

Help to Combat Worker Misclassification in PA
|
|
Open Shop Contractors often gain an advantage over Union Contractors by misclassifying workers as independent contractors when they should be classified as employees. This cuts costs while putting workers in danger.
Read the facts here
.
The PA Department of Labor & Industry provides a form that can be completed online to indicate when an employer has misclassified a worker. This “worker misclassification inquiry” will begin the process of alerting the government to a potential misclassification. If you notice worker misclassification occurring on a job site, gather as much information as possible and use the link below to report it. Doing so will go a long way in helping combat unfair labor practices.
