Probably union rules would pose a problem.
Strasburg Rail Road isn't a union operation.
But surely you would desire a certified, experienced, "Card Carrying" IAM Machinist, right?
Not sure what "IAM" stands for, but we desire a person who can make parts to the drawings or instructions, right the first time, and in a reasonable amount of time. The application includes questions, and the interview includes practical tests which serve to give us a pretty good idea whether the applicant will work out. Even so, we cant tell for sure until the person has been working several weeks.
Certifications often aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

you hit the nail on the head Kelly....too many times I'd get a "certified" guy that didn't know what end of a 3/8th-16 tap to put in a hole...
