Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Mar. 15, 2013 | H.R. 803
While the Republican bill would reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), it also would consolidate 35 employment and training programs into a single funding stream for state and local use and eliminate some services. The bill also contained provisions to reduce the amount of labor representation on the Workforce Development Boards. Further, it contained mechanisms requiring that the authorization for WIA job training be reduced by at least 10 percent. The bill passed.

This is Bad for working people.
