Sec. 31-22p. (Formerly Sec. 31-51d). Labor Commissioner's powers and duties. The Labor Commissioner, with the advice and guidance of the council, shall formulate work training standards which will ensure necessary safeguards for the welfare of
apprentices and a full craft experience in any skill, in order to provide equal opportunities
to all, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin, and to
provide training, employment and upgrading opportunities for disadvantaged workers
to acquire a comprehensive skilled work experience and to extend the application of
such standards of skill training by inclusion thereof in apprenticeship agreements, and
shall bring together representatives of management and labor for the development of
training programs and terms of apprenticeship incidental thereto and cooperate with
state and federal agencies similarly interested in furtherance of training requirements
in keeping with established and new processes of Connecticut industries. The Labor
Commissioner shall publish information relating to existing and proposed work standards of apprenticeship, hold area conferences throughout the state for the purpose of
promoting interest in skilled trades training and appoint such advisory committees as
may be deemed necessary to evaluate the skilled manpower requirements of Connecticut
in order to cope with any new technological changes in industry.
(1959, P.A. 390, S. 4; 1969, P.A. 743, S. 1.)
History: 1969 act deleted reference to cooperative effort of representatives of industry, labor and education in formulation of standards, required that standards provide equal opportunities "to all, without regard to their race, color, religion,
sex, age or national origin" and that they provide training, employment and upgrading opportunities for disadvantaged
workers, and made publication of information re apprenticeship standards, holding of conferences, etc. mandatory rather
than optional, substituting "shall" for "may"; Sec. 31-51d transferred to Sec. 31-22p in 2005.
