POLISHING UP ON LATEST FLOORING TECHNOLOGY
On December 19-20th, Union members from the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters (NRCC) received classroom instruction and hands-on training with new concrete polishing equipment.
The two-day session, held at the NRCC Training Facility in Hammonton, New Jersey, helped to educate approximately 30 NRCC members on concrete polishing skills/operations. During the seminar, workers received classroom instruction – from instructors Andy Bowman and David Gross – and hands-on experience in the basics of polishing. During the seminar, participants learned about: theory and methods; procedure; and nished products.
“It’s important that we continually improve and enhance our training opportunities for our members to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest tools and technologies in the marketplace today,” said NRCC Local 251 President Frank Koch. “Because our workers received this highly specialized
training, our contractors will be able to set themselves apart and o er this service on projects.”
NRCC Local 253 Member Susan Espinoza enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the training, which added another skill to her toolbelt.
“It was a great training as it gave me information on a speci c part of our trade that I didn’t know before,” said NRCC member Susan Espinoza. “I’m from Union in Northern New Jersey and it was well worth the time to travel almost a hundred miles to attend this important seminar in Hammonton.”
