Where is everyone #5

Who runs the apprenticeship board?

 

You are askin me questions I don't even know!
Looks like its government funded with appointed board members. So I guess the gov is involved then.
More info on Commission Board – Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission

 

Made in China?

 

Good guys do exist.....

 

@AModelCat and @pushbroom

I love you guys and glad your here. Thank you for sharing your north of the border perspectives.
However I find it funny that you call it Un employment INSURANCE. That’s like saying I have health INSURANCE to cover a boob job.

I worked closely with a Company from Denmark. They think We are weird but they pay like %125 tax on there automobiles. I think he said that like %85 of his total gross wages go to The Government in taxes.

Although everyone had a degree. Some of the most beautiful crates you have ever seen.

Again no disrespect and thank you for sharing. I’m glad there are still standards in the world.

P.S. in Illinois I am required to pay un-employment insurance even though I an self employed. I can pay it quarterly or as a fine when I pay my taxes at the end of the year. However I am not eligible to collect on that insurance under any circumstances. So sorry if I get a little worked up about it.

 

That's just wrong.

 

They call it Employment Insurance now

Same here. I hear you.

 

Welcome!

 

I am. But not all shops are. Apprenticeship board states that employers must pay each year of apprentice a minimum percentage of journeyman rate. The employer is free to set the journeyman rate to what they see fit.

 

Pull up a stump and set a spell. This thread is full of Gearjammers, Gearheads, Welders, Mechanics, Rednecks, and Outcast. Gets a little fast sometimes so just get a good grip and hang on tight......

And Welcome....
