Nominees for the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board introduced themselves and described their trade experience and union service.
Paul Du Jr. identified himself as an elevator mechanic with about seven years of experience and said he works in maintenance and repair. Marshall Uia (pronunciation clarified on the record) said he has seven years in the trade and is active in his union. Union representatives and local trade bodies submitted written testimony and some spoke in support of the nominees.

All of our kids and our grandparents, everybody rides them," one nominee said — and told the committee they wanted to give back to the profession through board service.
