What labor unions are saying about mssc
United Steelworkers
"Manufacturing production workers’ skills are not widely recognized
because workers in the U. S. tend to acquire them through on-the-job
training. MSSC addresses this issue for formalizing a set of skills
that will help workers prove their capabilities to their employers.
Through MSSC, American workers will gain greater skill recognition so
that we can keep manufacturing jobs here in the United States .”
- Keith Romig, Jr., National and International Programs, United Steelworkers.
AFL-CIO
“The work of the MSSC is a first step in building a national strategy to revitalize manufacturing in America .”
- Bob Baugh, Executive Director, AFL-CIO Industrial Union Council
Wisconsin AFL-CIO
"The AFL-CIO and its employment and training arm, the Working Institute for America , have formally endorsed the MSSC credentialing program. And I can promise you that the Wisconsin AFL-CIO will do all that we can to promote this program"
- Dave Newby, President Wisconsin AFL-CIO
“I am very impressed that the skill training modules not only stress technical skills but also safety and quality. There are too many workers killed in Wisconsin on-the-job and throughout the country as a whole, and I think this program will help reduce those numbers."
- Dave Newby, President Wisconsin AFL-CIO
