job-targeting program

Read a random definition: Oklahoma

A quick definition of job-targeting program:

A job-targeting program is when a group of workers, called a labor union, helps their members get jobs in a specific area by supporting companies that are bidding on certain projects. This helps the union keep their share of the work in that area. It's also called a market-recovery program.

A more thorough explanation:

A job-targeting program is a strategy used by labor unions to maintain or increase their share of the labor market in a specific industry. This is done by providing financial support or backing to contractors who bid on targeted projects. It is also known as a market-recovery program.

  • A construction union may offer to finance a contractor bidding on a large-scale building project in order to ensure that union workers are hired for the job.
  • A manufacturing union may provide support to a company bidding on a government contract in order to secure jobs for its members.

These examples illustrate how a job-targeting program works. By providing financial support to contractors, labor unions can increase the likelihood that their members will be hired for specific projects. This helps to maintain or improve the union's share of the labor market in that industry.

"But I also want to end on this note. Don't be afraid of being wrong. And what I mean by that is, being wrong about a school. I applied to Princeton coming out of high school and didn't get in. I ended up going to Vanderbilt. I could never see myself having gone anywhere but Vanderbilt." -Spivey
