the union is the employer. the employee is simply leased to the contractor. so it's still the employer requiring it.

I also have to disagree with that. My paycheck comes from the contractor.

That's fine, I just disagree with you. Is your allegance with the contractor or the union? who really decides your future? who really controls your destiny? it's not the contractor
--------------------------------------------

I control my own destiny. I show loyalty to my local union. I show allegiance to the contractor. Also in our local apprentices are paid to attend classes up to their third year. It is a day school program.
