UA NOW REQUIRING ALL FOREMEN TO BE CERTIFIED
Through June 30, 2009 existing field foremen will be recognized as a “UA Certified Foreman,” provided they can provide a letter to the UA Certification Department from their local union business manager’s office or an employing contractor that confirms extensive work experience as a foreman. Any individual certified in accordance with this provision must pass the UA Foreman Certification Examination prior to the expiration of their initial four-year certification period. The exam is 110 questions and a score of 80% or above is required to pass. Contractors will have to provide a representative at the test similar to the welding test.
Individuals who can provide documented evidence they have worked as a foreman for at least 1500 hours during the four-year certification period and have previously taken and passed the certification exam, will be recertified as a UA Foreman. Individuals working less than 1500 hours during the four-year certification period must pass the UA Foreman’s Certification Examination with a score of 80% or above.
Recertification training is provided to each individual holding UA Foreman Certification. Prior to the expiration of their four-year certification individuals must attend a minimum of three hours of update training provided by the JATC.
