Alliance Concrete Pumps, a leading concrete pump manufacturer in North America, is proud to announce the opening of its new branch in Fort Worth, Texas. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth and commitment to serving customers across Canada and the U.S.
Recently, an ACPA member contacted the National Office after being told about new federal apprenticeship hiring requirements being applied to three of their jobs in three different states. The apprenticeship requirements are triggered when four or more concrete pumpers work on a job where certain federal tax benefits apply. These apprentice hiring requirements present a serious challenge to concrete pumpers because there are no registered concrete pumper apprenticeship programs in place to provide the required apprentices. This is a classic Catch 22. Fortunately, there is an option.
