This excerpt taken from the VLG 10-K filed Sep 28, 2006. Employees
At June 30, 2006, we employed 748 people, compared to 682
at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, approximately 13%
of our employees were covered by collective bargaining
agreements. Historically, we have not been adversely affected by
strikes or work stoppages. We believe that we have a skilled and
motivated work force and that our relationship with employees is
good.
We believe that continuing education is necessary for our
employees to achieve and maintain the skills required to be
effective in today’s competitive environment. Our process
improvement strategy includes ongoing technical training in an
environment emphasizing a high level of customer service. We
provide a variety of training programs to our employees through
modules maintained on the Internet. This provides consistent,
low-cost training across the entire organization. Key suppliers
also provide employees product training relating primarily to
welding and gas application technology at our various locations.
