Elevator Constructor Apprentices Score High
Thursday, October 27, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Elevator Constructor union apprentices posted
an impressive 81% pass rate earlier this month
on the Mechanics Exam. The notoriously tough
162-question test is based on four years of
training and IUEC Local 10 teachers commended
students for “all that hard work in school
and all that study time you put in,” posting
a congratulatory note on the local’s website
announcing that this year’s pass rate jumped
to 81% from about 60%. Sonny Yeatman,
Apprentice Director at Local 10, explained
proudly that these students have put in their
time “helping mechanics, and now they’ll be
mechanics themselves.” - photo of members
