Brothers and Sisters, I hope this finds you well.
The construction industry is changing, and turf installation is becoming a big part of that change. More stadiums, schools, parks, and commercial spaces are choosing artificial turf, which is creating new opportunities for skilled workers.
Our apprentices are learning the latest turf installation techniques, such as preparing the base, cutting and seaming, and maintaining the turf. This training gives them the skills they need to succeed and makes them more valuable to our union.
As the demand for turf installation grows, contractors will look for experts who can get the job done right. Our trained apprentices will help us win more projects, strengthen our reputation, and bring more work to our union.
Turf installation is not just another skill, it’s a way for our members to grow and ensure a strong future for our union.
Stay active, stay in touch, stay safe and never stop fighting for a fair future!
