In Louisiana, welding applicants for tank car company struggle with tests

According to the Acadania, LA Channel 10 website, Union Tank company's plans to fill hundreds of new welding jobs have hit a snag...job candidates are having trouble passing a standard aptitude test. I don't know what's on these tests, but extensive pre-hire testing has been standard procedure for companies in white collar positions for more than 20 years, and in many welding and trades positions as well.

They aren't saying these welders can't get hired, but it's a shame they aren't passing the tests.
