President Trump’s economic policies brought tremendous prosperity to the American worker. The unions should have showered President Trump with praise for his pro-industry agenda. They didn’t do that. Instead, most of America’s union leaders endorsed President Biden. The union members should demand their resignation.
“The policy allowed “trade and industry groups, companies, non-profit organizations, unions, and joint labor-management organizations” to create their own apprenticeship programs that would help workers obtain the skills that the economy needed but that universities are not providing, or are providing at a cost that is unaffordable for many Americans.”
Biden Signs Executive Order Ending Trump Industry Apprenticeship Program
By Breitbart, February 22, 2021
Story continues below advertisementPresident Joe Biden signed an executive order this week revoking former President Donald Trump’s order providing federal funds to apprenticeship programs created by industries, calling for more government-controlled alternatives.
In 2017, Trump signed Executive Order 13801, Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAPs). The policy allowed “trade and industry groups, companies, non-profit organizations, unions, and joint labor-management organizations” to create their own apprenticeship programs that would help workers obtain the skills that the economy needed but that universities are not providing, or are providing at a cost that is unaffordable for many Americans.
“Registered Apprenticeships,” approved by the government, have been part of U.S. labor policy for decades. Under the Obama administration, these received more funding. But critics argued that the government-controlled model, run by the Department of Labor and with the involvement of labor unions, held back the growth of apprenticeships. The Trump order allowed industries (and unions) to develop their own programs, within regulations but independent of government control.
The Washington Post — hardly friendly to the Trump administration — reported that his new policy had bipartisan support:
[the_ad id=”110283″]
Trump signed an executive order that seeks to reorient and expand ApprenticeshipUSA, a grant program that was previously championed by the Obama administration and has been supported by Democrats and Republicans alike.
The administration’s aim, White House officials say, is to give more flexibility to third parties — including businesses, trade associations and labor unions — to design programs that will offer skills training to those who are seeking jobs for which they are not yet qualified.Under current rules, the Labor Department is too heavy-handed in crafting the programs, they argue.
But left-wing groups, and some congressional Democrats, objected to Trump’s order. The Center for American Progress complained that Trump was creating “a parallel track that lacks adequate worker protections” that could allow for “the proliferation of low-quality programs.”
Democrats eventually frustrated Trump’s new system, as Bloomberg News noted this week: “Democrats in Congress blocked funding and the implementing regulations weren’t finalized until last year.”
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), the Ranking Member on the House Committee on Education and Labor, objected to Biden’s change in a statement:
“President Biden’s move to end IRAPs will kill jobs. Period. Doubling down on an inefficient, 80-year-old system that is unresponsive to workers’ needs is not a solution, it is irresponsible.
“In the last four months 131 IRAPs have been created, the vast majority of which are for nursing credentials. Why a party that claims to follow science would limit nursing credentials during a global pandemic is beyond me.
“Instead of catering to union bosses and increasing Washington’s overreach into the private sector, we should support and encourage efforts to cut the regulatory red tape that stops too many employers from filling in-demand jobs. Employer-led apprenticeship programs account for more than 80 percent of all apprenticeship programs nationwide. The success of these programs should come as no surprise, employers know best what skills their employees need to excel in the workplace.
The Biden White House described his new policy as “expanding registered apprenticeship programs,” with a view to training “diverse, local, well-trained workers who have a choice to join a union.”
The White House claimed that industry-run apprenticeships “have fewer quality standards than registered apprenticeship programs” and that they “fail to require the wage progression” that occurs under union-backed, government-run programs.

Yes, but he hates Trump more and is willing to destroy the country by erasing all Trump has done. This will be the only accomplishment Biden will have and he and his sycophantic, cretinous followers will call it a Legacy. When will these morons wake up to the fact that he is indeed destroying the country?

Ending apprenticeship programs is just stupid. Even Uber-Socialist Germany used to have apprenticeship programs (maybe they still do).

It is just very stupid and pointless. The Germans, like Brits and a few other countries did, and probably still do, and as a result they turn out skilled artisans, in other words skilled tradesmen – and possibly women. Biden’s destructiveness could be described as childish vindictiveness. America is now in the hands of disgusting people, the entire Cabinet he favours speaks volumes about Biden’s mindset and it is total rubbish. This is Obama II, another traitor and America’s enemies know it.

The ANC did the same in South Africa, because its believed that once you vote, a house, a car, a degree, a job (sometimes even a spouse) automatically just fall from the sky into your lap.
A quarter of a century later – high school graduates cannot read, write or do numeracy, but they get accepted at university. At least, they can all scream about social justice and all that. Otherwise, they are simply useless.

Wait till LBGT+ discovers that communist or Islamists have no use for them. They are just being used to breakdown our moral Judeo Christian standards and Christianity. Neither Islam or communists will tolerate them.

Correct! They will be banned, arrested and put in reeducation (labor) camps, yet they think they will be raised to become part of the ruling class. They are in for a rude awakening.

At this point, Biden looks like he is on a crusade to undo every policy Trump put in place regardless if it makes sense or not. Vindictive is the word I’m looking for. Obama is pulling the strings and Biden is dancing like a clown.

You read my mind as I was putting something together and may I add,
in record time! It hasn’t even been 100 days yet. They want to totally erase anything and everything President Trump has done.

My guess is this scheme is based on merit and ability and does not have quotas based on ethnic origin so it is therefore ‘white supremacist’

No, it’s simply eliminated under Biden.
Under President Trump it truly was open to anyone and especially minorities.

I heard about this last week. Biden is doing his best to screw Americans over in Houston a month in office. CNN and the liberals will nit talk about this. As I said when Biden won all you have to look is to the famous quote by mayor Koch. When he lost the election to Dinkins his quote was “ the people have spoken and they will be punished.” Exactly what happened. Just like with Biden.

Good with machine voter fraud and universal mail in ballots!
What is being done about that? The Supreme Court wants nothing to do with it. They are intimidated by the DEMS. The swing states controlled by DEMS are not admitting to voter fraud or doing anything about it and you think the midterms will make a difference or that we will have a Republican for President in for 2024? Or more patriotic Republicans elected in 2022 midterms? Seriously? I am just stating the ugly truth and not angry at you – just frustrated at seeing our country destroyed at warp speed.
For state elections, all they need to do is get in a DEM governor and a DEM DOJ and they control the state. This is easily done through fraud voting machines in DEM controlled large cities. I;d bet they are planning this now….
You need to adjust your frame of reference. May I suggest the 2020 election results as a new reference point. It may allow you to feel better about things but nor realistic. No one seems to have the stomach for what needs to be done.

This gave people hope and the prospect of jobs and entrepreneurship. A college/university degree is not needed for a lot of positions out there. It just gets worse and this SOB hasn’t been in there 100 days yet. It’s like a marathon to erase whatever President accomplished in less than 100 days. It’s hard to keep up with it. All hell is going to break out in the very near future.

I’m adding another Trainwreck to Biden’s 34 th. Day of Trainwrecks. Today Biden ended Trump’s Industry Apprenticeship Program! Yep, we get it that Biden doesn’t care about the American people! He hates us! The guy is a pathetic joke yet he dares speak against Trump, he dares to lie and say insulting things about him. I remember that during the GE debates, he addressed the best President in 200 years, as “clown.” Bejing Biden cried out to President Trump while Trump was calling out his BS and lies, ” Shut up, clown! ” Imagine this loser telling Trump, the sitting President of the US, to stop talking and to call him an insulting name. Typical B!tch Biden.

Joe Biden Cancels Trump Program That Targeted Illegal Alien Sex Predators In the U.S.
Joe Biden has ended a Trump program that targeted sexual offenders who are in the United States illegally. Trump’s program, dubbed “Operation Talon,” focused on targeting sexual predators lurking in and preying on the most vulnerable, especially children and leaving them open to attacks.

“The White House claimed that industry-run apprenticeships “have fewer quality standards than registered apprenticeship programs” and that they “fail to require the wage progression” that occurs under union-backed, government-run programs.”
This sure looks like an attempt by Biden to eliminate non-union labor from industry in favor for his big donner buddies.

“Commie ☭ Joe” wants to make sure that only Marxist-style bureaucrats run apprenticeship programs. This is as much as saying these programs will fail due to bureaucratic mismanagement and, at the same time, open many backdoors to ready cash for Democrat politicians.

Joe Xiden or any of the other lickspittles in DC do not deserve to polish Donald Trump’s shoes. They have absolutely no idea what they are are doing. All they know is if Trump did it, we have to undo it. That’s not national policy, that is a spoiled brat child getting back at somebody for stealing their cookie.
