Biden's DEI mandates on employers fail American workers

Biden is trying to ram through 800 pages of new rules restricting successful apprenticeship programs. The new plan mandates DEI and makes the whole concept too expensive.

Apprenticeships can be a phenomenal way to connect workers with in-demand jobs and fill businesses’ workforce needs. They allow workers to get on-the-job experience and training while getting paid instead of spending years in school and foregoing a paycheck — or even taking on debt to find a job. For businesses, they generate a steady pipeline of talent who know the ropes of their industries inside and out.   Linda McMahon is the chair of the America First Policy Institute and AFPI’s Center for the American Worker. She is also the former administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. 

The Department of Labor quietly released a nearly 800-page proposal to regulate apprenticeships right before Christmas. Between the holidays and the busy start to the year, this proposal went largely overlooked by the public, though businesses, trade groups, state agencies and others have started to sound the alarm.
