Trenton NJ, In a lame-duck session of the legislature, the New Jersey Senate and Assembly are trying to move legislation that would completely upend apprenticeship training programs in the state. Supporters claim it will strengthen provisions of the “Public Works Contractor Registration Act” and require certification of compliance with federal requirements for apprenticeship programs. But what it really does is penalize New Jersey merit shop contractors who do public works, meaning minorities and women hardest hit.
