LABOR CERT CONFUSES ALASKAN HOCKEY FANS

One of the requirements for a labor certification is for an employer to show that it has recruited to find a qualified and immediately available worker to fill a position. Normally, we think of labor certifications for “normal” jobs like computer programmers, people in construction fields, etc. But labor certifications are often used in arts and sports, though there are often alternatives. The Alaskan Daily News in Anchorage, Alaska reports on how a labor certification for a university hockey coach made a lot of sports fans nervous.
