Members of Painters & Drywall Finishers Local 10 received bonus awards as part of the STARS Program. A banquet to present checks had to be canceled this year because of the stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Kate Brown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Participating members were mailed checks ranging from $300 to $1,350. The amounts are based on the number of skill advancement and safety training classes they took the previous year. Additional money is available for journeyman who mentor apprentices. The Painters Union/Management Partnership (PUMP) committee added some extra cash from the money that wasn’t spent on the banquet.
Due to the fact that many of the March classes were canceled, the PUMP Committee made some exceptions regarding the bonus. Some participants were allowed to qualify even though they were lacking certain required classes. They were asked to make them up once training has resumed at the Training Center.
The STARS program was initiated in 2004 when Painters and Allied Trades District Council 5 and the Signatory Painting Contractors Organization made a commitment to each other to field the best-trained workforce in the industry. This led to the creation of PUMP. The program is funded by a cents-per-hour contribution negotiated in their collective bargaining agreement. Local 1236 started funding its program in 2010.
