Maine

Maine is an SAA state and is not right-to-work. The Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation (OPOR), within the Dept. of Professional and Financial Regulation, administers separate boards for electricians, plumbers, and fuel/HVAC work. Apprenticeship programs are robust, particularly in the electrical trade.
