Expiration dates

Happy New Year Brothers and Sisters!

As we start the new year, I wanted to remind you to check the expiration dates on your required certifications, as Journey workers to have to have up to date certifications to receive a dispatch for work. I am hopeful work is going to pick up in 2026, and we need to be ready for when the phone rings to go to work. The following are the required certifications for dispatch per the Northern California Glaziers Master Agreement.
