Prepare For A Better Job

  • Every job that is posted on the work unit bulletin boards has specific requirements. 
     

  • For example, the landscape jobs that are posted on the boards all say that a pesticide license is required.  It is necessary to have the certification because of federally mandated environmental regulations.  You need to possess the license before you apply for the job.

  • The Union Office has the study guides and material for both pesticide license and CDL. There is a $25.00 deposit for the pesticide manuals which is refunded upon return of the manuals.  Give us a call and we will get you the material necessary to train for the license needed for the job you are seeking.  Members who currently have material from the Teamster Local 8 office are asked to return the material to the Union Office when you are finished with it making it available for other members to use.

Pesticide Manuals Available:
Core
Category 6 Trees and Shrubs
Category 7 Lawn/Turf
Swimming Pools

CDL Manuals Available:
Doubles/Triples
Airbrakes
Combination Vehicles
Hazardous Material
Pre-Trip Straight Truck

  • In addition to certifications and licenses it probably would not hurt to take a look at your biographical data form to see if it can be improved.
