Rationale: With staffing reaching such concerning levels, training is more important now than ever. Over the past few years, we have seen significant and impactful changes to how facilities are expected to train. We seek to establish this committee to add the operational union members’ perspectives to the national training conversation, as well as other applicable national leads working on training-related projects. National committee members can bring regional operational perspectives, suggestions, concerns, issues, and solutions to be shared with other regions so that consistency can be maintained across the NAS. Regional representation will encourage workforce commitment and engagement while providing transparency.
Committee members would serve as a point of contact for their region for all things training– OJT, TRB,
Refresher, Recurrent, and Supplemental. They would be a valuable go-between to connect union members with national leadership and could work with regional management counterparts.
