Training is for Everyone
The A and A2 training classes are not intended solely for people new to the union; the information contained in this coursework is important to members from all levels of experience. Despite having 31 years in the business, Local 479’s current Sergeant-at-Arms Kat Tonkin has signed up to participate for the upcoming training event, explaining that:
“As the industry continues to expand in Georgia I believe that this training could become required at some point in the future – so the way I look at it, I’m getting ahead of the ball.”
