We all know of the courage it takes to be a union member; to stand up for principles of a
safe job site, fair compensation and dig-nity in the workplace. Today, and this election year, our courage and commit-ment will face its greatest challenge in our lifetimes.
Attempting to rally their supporters, the far right continues their battle cry of labor bashing and attacks on workers’ rights, and maintains their dominance of the Republican agenda. Republican majorities in Congress, state legisla-tures, and municipalities have proposed and passed anti-worker legislation crafted by ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) and its corporate sponsors, including the billionaire Koch Brothers, despite overwhelming pub-lic opinion against those actions. Once elected, some elected officials do the bid-ding of their financial backers with little concern for re-election, knowing their fu-ture is secure as corporate executives or consultants, completely leaving voters “out of the loop.” Do you think Gover-nor Scott Walker of Wisconsin will suf-fer economically from his recall by the Wisconsin voters, as the thousands of middle class workers affected by his pol-icies have? Eighty percent of Americans believe government expenditures should be used to purchase American-made goods and products, so why is the “Buy America” provision of the transportation bill being fought?
The Supreme Court’s Citizen’s Unit-ed decision equating the rights of corpo-rations to that of United States citizens with “free speech” aided by unfettered corporate spending without the decency of transparency, threatens the bedrock of our democratic process. Our elec-toral representation has been eroded with district gerrymandering that this year may result in only 50 out of 435 congressional seats being considered as “competitive” or at risk by either party.
Our recourse against such attacks, not only on your union, but also on de-
mocracy, is increased activism, greater voter participation in elections, and to make the power of one person/one vote the only measure to hold elected offi-cials accountable.
Each of us casts our vote on our own set of priorities: social, economic, or the multitude of combinations; Democrat, Independent, or Republican. For your union, our concerns are based on issues first, not candidates or parties. Our con-cern is the candidates’ positions on is-sues affecting your livelihood, and the rights of workers such as collective bar-gaining, organizing, safety regulations, the Davis-Bacon Act or state prevailing wages, project labor agreements, Buy America, infrastructure funding, and others having a direct effect on your potential to deliver a better standard of living for you and your family. We have and will recommend candidates from either party or an independent who vows to support our issues.
We will present to you credible and objective information from independent sources on the candidate’s position on our issues and their past voting record for your evaluation to make the important decision for whom you will vote. It will be your choice determined by your priorities.
But it is incumbent on each of us to cast our vote. To make an educated, in-formed decision not based on 30-second sound bites from camouflaged interests.
This is not only true for elections in the United States. The same battles are being fought in Canada, as conserva-tive governments are following their American counterparts. We will be just as vigilant and active in our support of our Canadian brethren.
Each local union is tasked with up-dating their voter registration rolls and to encourage 100% voter participation. It is paramount not only to the future of your union, but democracy as well.
Thank you for helping to build our great union.
The Power of One Person/One Vote
“ But it is incumbent on each of us to cast our vote. To make an educated, informed decision not based on 30-second sound bites from camouflaged interests.”

City Creek ProjeCt
Salt Lake City embarked on a massive rebuilding enterprise to in-fuse new life into its downtown doldrums. The most impressive and largest portion of the renovation is the City Creek Project, check-
ing in at an estimated $1.5 billion. SME Steel Contractors was awarded the contract for two full city blocks: Block 75 and Block 76. Okland Con-struction grandly kicked off each of these city blocks with four levels of parking structure below street level and above, which SME carefully positioned transfer decks. Next, Jacobsen Construction built the neces-sary crane roads on each block, which required shoring through all five levels of the parking structure to terra firma and meticulously traced the crane paths that had been previously configured.
The erection of Block 75 consisted of five levels of structural steel encompassing the entire block in addition to high-rise buildings. SME also erected the structural steel for Building Four, a seven-story struc-ture, along with four podium levels and one roof mechanical support level on Tower Five, a twenty-three story structure. Erection of Block 76 included four major buildings ranging from five to eight stories and interconnects with two levels of commercial space accessed by a series of bridges, elevators, and escalators. Additionally, ironworkers on Block 76 erected three levels of mechanical support on Tower One, a 32-story high rise, as well as two levels of mechanical support on Buildings Six and Seven, twin ten-story structures.

Two other impressive aspects are the enormous transfer deck plate gird-ers and the AESS end wall design. The transfer deck plate girders range from 175 pounds per foot to an incredible 720 pounds per foot with an average length of sixty feet. The end walls, which con-nect to the sky bridge, were designed with a reverse camber on the main beams and tethered with cable tensions to pull the beams perfectly into place. Stately positioned, the end walls uti-lized twelve 54' beams with an 18' arc to skillfully enclose the retail galleries.
The transfer deck required such strength in order to accommodate the weight of a creek-like water feature, as well as the building structures that would be erected. Sections of the creek water feature run on top of the transfer deck beginning on one end of Block 75 and continuing through Block 76. The heaviest pieces of steel for this project were positioned on the roof with a sky-light above a retail entrance on Block 75 and on the end walls of each block.
There are several unique features of this building project that include a 67' wide skylight above a retail entrance, which required five 70' beams with a 12' arc. These massive AESS beams were fabricated in two pieces and assembled in the field simply in order to transport them. The Local 27 ironworkers did a phenomenal job in seamlessly welding the beams while balancing from an impressive 80' above the ground. These beams are truly a work of art.

Rich Allen, SME Block 76 project manager, said this project is extraor-dinary and ranks among his favorites. The dynamics of building an eight-sto-ry complex structure on top of a four-story concrete parking structure is an amazing challenge and a rewarding outcome. Allen gained greater appre-ciation for our shop workers and their abilities as well as increased admira-tion and respect for the many iron-workers who built this project. “They have agility and moxie that most men don’t possess. This will be a project that will improve downtown Salt Lake City for decades to follow and thou-sands will enjoy its magnificence and beauty each year.”

Local 27 (Salt Lake City) and SME Steel joined forces to erect the steel structural system, which includes the sky bridge featured on National Geo-graphic’s program “World’s Toughest Fixes.” Two hundred and sixty iron-workers, with more than 150,000 hours clocked on the project, helped make the impossible possible when they hoisted a 320 thousand pound sky bridge inches above two commuter train high voltage power lines. They carefully erected the sky bridge snugly between two high-rise buildings while working under a tight four-hour window from midnight to four a.m. This incredibly
unique structure is secured with only one anchor pin. The remaining three feet float; however, they remain fixated by gravity with steel plates on either side to restrict movement, yet allow flexibility. Jeremy Stam, SME Block 75 project manager, stated that four months of careful planning came down to one breathless moment. Everything came together perfectly as the sky bridge was strategically maneuvered into its new home with mere inches to move. Two cranes working in tan-dem were carefully positioned—one stationary and one to crawl forward carrying its load. Before this amaz-
ing feat could even begin, the enor-mous structure arrived on several truckloads and required the skill and craftsmanship of ironworkers to as-semble it on the ground.
The City Creek downtown project boasts 900,000 square feet of retail space and 2.1 million square feet of of-fice space in addition to several hun-dred residential units.
Stam captures the thoughts and perspective of everyone at SME Steel Contractors: “Without the pride and professionalism of our shop and field ironworkers, this job could not be completed on time and on budget.”
Ironworkers assemble on top of the beautiful sky bridgeto celebrate this incredible accomplishment.
Local 27 gathers to ceremonially mark the topping off of Block 75.

Members of Local 92 (Birmingham, Ala.), working for McAbee Con-struction in Tuscaloosa, Ala., worked with Dogan Steel to reassem-ble the historic 1882 King Bowstring Bridge per the original factory specifications.
The 1882 King Bowstring Bridge Relocation Project, put into action by the Friends of Historic Northport (FHN) in 2000, is now complete. The 1882 Bridge is very significant to the history of the Black Warrior River and early development of Northport as a trading center. It is a unique and rare structure, from not only a local perspective, but a na-tional one as well.
Friends had a vision to see the bridge brought back home to become part of a larger bridge park. It served not only as a heritage asset, but also as a tourist attraction and a structure to be visited by schoolchil-dren, historical groups, and the general public.
Local bridge historian Ken Willis brought the idea of relocating the 1882 Bridge to FHN over a decade ago. The project has educational benefits, as it will give the community a tangible part of their history and it will increase the desire of citizens to know more about their his-tory and heritage. Also, the relocation will offer recreational benefits,

as the bridge will be the centerpiece of the Van de Graaff Arboretum and Historic Bridge Park.
The bridge is a unique piece of history—a span of one of three iron and steel bridges that crossed the Black Warrior River between North-port and Tuscaloosa. The 1882 King Bowstring Bridge once crossed the river and was one of four spans that carried many residents, travelers, and needed goods to market from 1882–1896. Spans of the 1882 Bridge were later moved to various parts of the county, crossing the Sipsey River in Echola and the Crabbe Road (Hwy 69) at current-day Lake Tuscaloosa.
The last remaining span crossed North River near the Fayette County line. One of the spans
was removed to north Tuscaloosa County for traffic crossing North River. This span served the public until the late 1960s when the bridge was closed. For many years, this part of the history was abandoned, until August 2008 when it was disassembled and brought back to Northport for refurbishing at Dogan Steel.
In the meantime, attempts over the next year to secure a final home for the bridge in Northport were unsuccessful.
In January 2010, members of FHN inquired into acreage near the airport. The land, along Fifth Street west of Northport, was once part of the 4,000 acre Jemison plantation.

including Pat Hanson, Cherokee Randolph, William Van de Graaff, John Asa Roundtree III and his heirs along with his wife Helen Updike Roundtree, owned the land and donated it to Friends of Historic Northport to create a 200-acre park now known as Van de Graaff Arboretum and Historic Bridge Park.
Preparation of a site for the bridge and reassembly began soon after May 2010 by McAbee Construction, Dogan Steel, and members of Local 92. Close study by the engineers found something interesting, when the 1882 Bridge was reassembled at North River in the late 1890s; it was not put together as it was from the factory of the King Street Company of Cleveland.
The bridge was reassembled per original factory spec-ifications, which made the bridge stronger than ever.

SAFETY and HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORTSteven Rank
In January of 2012, the Safety and Health De-
partment launched several new initiatives designed to “target the deadly dozen haz-ardous activities that lead to fatalities and disabling injuries.” The focus of this article is to highlight some of the serious hazards per-taining to structural collapse
of columns due to anchor bolt failure. Informa-tion obtained from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the International Association revealed that anchor bolt failure during column erection contributed to sever-al fatalities. Following are job site illustrations and OSHA Subpart R—Steel Erection standards that depict some of the primary hazards and regulatory requirements pertaining to:
Column-to-Base Plate Requirement for a Minimum of (4) Anchor Bolts
The structural stability of columns starts with the col-umns being anchored with a minimum of four anchor bolts. Seri-ous accidents involving structural collapse have been attributed to
“two-bolt” columns. During the erection of columns, the column height and size can create a lever-arm that can transfer extreme forces to the footings and anchor bolt systems. Following is the OSHA standard that requires all column-to-base plates to
be designed and fabricated with a minimum of four anchor bolts to help prevent collapse.
Written Notification of Concrete Strength Prior to Steel Erection
Prior to the commencement of steel erection, the steel erection contractor must receive written notification from the controlling contractor that the concrete in footings, piers and walls are either 75 percent of the intended minimum compressive design strength or sufficient strength to support the loads imposed during steel erection. The “con-trolling contractor is defined as a prime contractor, general contractor, construction manager or any other legal entity which has the overall responsi-bility for the construction of the project-its planning, quality and completion.” Following is the OSHA standard requiring writ-ten notification of con-crete strength.
Written Notification and Approval of Modifications
Anchor bolts that have been repaired, replaced or field-modified incor-rectly have attributed to column collapse and fa-talities. It is important for our members to recog-nize a specific OSHA standard that requires the controlling contractor to provide written notice of any anchor bolts that have been repaired. Any repairs to anchor bolts must be approved by the

project structural engineer of record. Following is the OSHA standard that is designed to provide written notification of anchor bolt modifications.
Engineer Approval for Anchor Bolt Repairs and Modifications
The photograph on the left illustrates anchor bolts that failed due to improper repairs using epoxy chemical bonding. This repair method was not performed with the approval of the project structural engineer of re-cord. When anchor bolts
have been repaired, replaced or field-modified it must be done correctly. Following is a specific OSHA standard that requires all repairs, replacement and field-modification of anchor bolts to be approved by the project structural engineer of record.
Column Evaluation by a Competent Person
While erecting col-umns, it is often necessary to install temporary guy cables to ensure stability. Several factors including anchor bolt condition, en-vironmental conditions, site conditions, etc., may create additional haz-ards that would require columns to be guyed dur-ing the erection process.
Following is the OSHA standard that requires all columns to be evaluated by a competent person to maintain stability.
OSHA has defined a competent person as one who is “capable of identifying existing and predict-able hazards in the surroundings or working condi-tions, which are unsanitary, hazardous, or danger-ous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.”
Preventing Structural Collapse— The Importance of Training
The photograph on the left illustrates a building col-lapse during the steel erec-tion process due to anchor bolt failure and the improper field repair. The Ironworkers National Training Fund has developed a special training
module for apprentices and journeymen upgrading that provides specific instruction on safe methods of structural steel assembly, anchor bolt requirements, minimum concrete strength requirements, column anchorage, and written notifications from control-ling contractor prior to the commencement of steel erection. This training course utilizes job site videos of structural steel assembly, color illustration manu-als, and an instructor’s PowerPoint CD with pho-tographs of specifics and is offered at our training facilities throughout the United States and Canada.
The “2012 Zero Fatality” campaign will chal-lenge all members to “intervene and prevent unsafe conditions and unsafe acts” during the steel erection process. Anchor bolt failure and column is one of the “deadly dozen hazards” that has led to fatalities and disabling injuries. This campaign will include hard-hat stickers, gang-box stickers, and posters for training fa-cilities and local unions. I will continue to work closely with district councils, local unions, and IMPACT Regional Advisory Boards throughout the United States and Canada to promote the In-ternational Association’s “2012 Zero Fatality” campaign by “targeting the deadly dozen hazardous activities that lead to fatalities and disabling injuries.”

The National Training Fund Trustees have an-
nounced that the Iron Workers and Employers Apprentice-ship and Training Coordinator and JAC/TIC member meet-ing and the Outstanding Ap-prentice Competition will be held in Indianapolis, Ind., from Thursday, September 20 through Sunday, September 23, 2012.
The meeting and competi-tion will be hosted by the Dis-trict Council of Southern Ohio and Vicinity. Accommodations will be at the JW Marriott In-dianapolis. The competition will be held at the Ironworkers Local Union No. 22 training fa-cility in Indianapolis.
The meeting of the appren-ticeship coordinators and JAC/TIC members will be on Thurs-
day and Friday at the hotel. National Training Fund and IMPACT staff members are developing an exciting agenda for this important meeting.
A special leadership development session for the apprentice competitors will be held on Friday morn-ing at the hotel. This leadership session, entitled “Your Topping Out Ceremony: Leadership Skills for Iron-workers” will focus on how these outstanding appren-tices can leverage their success as an apprentice into a successful career as a journeyman ironworker.
New for this competition is that the written exami-nation for the apprentices will be conducted on Friday afternoon at the hotel. The remaining contests will be on Saturday and Sunday at the Local 22 training center.
To prepare apprentices for the competition it is impor-tant that the national contest guidelines be used for local and district council competitions. The guidelines for the current contests can be found on the Iron Worker’s web-site. Go to www.ironworkers.org and click on the Training link, and then click on the Apprenticeship Competition.
The awards ceremony and dinner will be held at the hotel on Sunday, September 23 from 6:00–10:00 PM.
Local unions will be receiving much more informa-tion on these important events in the near future.
We are confident that the meeting of the appren-ticeship coordinators and JAC/TIC members and the Outstanding Apprentice Competition will not only be successful, but that they will continue to strengthen our apprentice training system to meet the needs of our employers.
For our employers a safe and healthy workforce equals lower insurance premiums and a greater ability to secure work for our members. Thus, let us continue to train and work safe at the training center, on the job, and working on a home project!

The Iron Workers and the Ironworker Management Pro-gressive Action Cooperative Trust (IMPACT) launched
the Countdown to Zero Fatalities campaign January 1 of this year to fanfare throughout the ironworking commu-nity. The motto: See something, say something. We all go home safe. The ultimate goal: Not one ironworker will die on the job this year—or ever again.
Now, contractors are also spreading the safety aware-ness message throughout their organizations, promoting responsibility and education to save lives and reduce on-site injuries.
“We’re partnering with contractors and leveraging a whole array of new communications technologies to stress the importance of this initiative,” said Walter Wise, general president of the Iron Workers. “We have hardhat stickers, gangbox stickers, neon wristbands, press releases going out online and through social media.” The Iron Workers and IMPACT even commissioned a countdown clock on the campaign’s official webpage, counting down the days until Jan. 1, 2013, at which time all ironworkers and contractors can celebrate Zero Fatalities together.
The first step toward a safer workplace requires aware-ness education. “When we talk about Countdown to Zero, we also discuss the ‘deadly dozen,’ which are twelve, all-too-common hazards on the jobsite,” explained Steve Rank, executive director of safety and health for the Iron Work-ers. “First, we have to educate ironworkers and contrac-tors when it comes to identifying a potentially hazardous situation. It saves lives.”
Rank discussed the “deadly dozen” extensively throughout North America at IMPACT’s Regional Advi-sory Board (RAB) meetings last fall, at the 2012 North American Iron Workers/IMPACT Labor-Management Conference in Las Vegas in January and most recently online during a hit webinar, conducted February 29 to an audience of ironworkers and contractors, represent-ing more than 70 different locals unions and contracting companies from across the United States and Canada. For those who were unable to participate in the Webinar, but are still interested in learning more about Rank’s safety message, recordings of the webinar are accessible to business managers, district council presidents, and contractors through the IMPACT bookstore at http://www.impact-net.org/.
Rank’s webinar addressed the first six of the “deadly dozen” hazardous jobsite activities. Rank will focus on the second half of the “deadly dozen” in an upcoming we-binar.
“The cooperation of our contractor partners is para-mount to the success of Zero 2012,” General President Wise said. “Our training delivers the ability to recognize and avoid hazards while our Zero 2012 awareness cam-paign makes every member responsible for looking out for each other.”
Alissa Schneider, president of Danny’s Construction C o m p a n y, S h a k o -pee, Minn., first heard about the Countdown to Zero Fatalities campaign through General Presi-dent Wise’s December 2012 video blog. “Show this to your crews. Send it to your brothers and sisters in ironworking. Repeat the message, re-peat the message, repeat the message, and LEAD the way every day,” she wrote in a recent broad-cast email to her com-pany.
Schneider added, “The countdown clock on the Iron Workers’s website is a great way to stress the urgency of the challenge. Each working minute in the day pres-ents numerous risks and the decisions made each minute matter.”
Matthew Johnson, a project manager at Dan-ny’s, said that he was so inspired by Wise’s mes-sage, he has decided to show the video to the
IMPaCT Contractors embrace Ironworker Zero fatality Campaign Safety’s a number one priority. Always has been, and always will be.

men on his jobsites. “If anything were ever to happen in the field, we’d have to live with it the rest of our lives. We’d have to consider what we could have done differ-ently,” Johnson said. “This campaign reminds us to be aware of hazards so nothing can go wrong.”
“‘Fatalities’ are never accidents,” added Rank. “‘Acci-dent’ implies that something unforeseen and unprevent-able happened. A fatality is always preventable.”
Darlaine Taylor, president of Century Steel Erectors, Dravosburg, Pa., said that under her leadership, a “cul-ture of safety” is paramount. “We’ve held an annual safe-ty meeting for the past 26 years. This year, we’ve invited Steve Rank from the Iron Workers to talk about the ‘deadly dozen’ common jobsite hazards,” Taylor said. “In the past, we’ve had Eric Waterman, CEO of IMPACT, Joe Hunt, general president emeritus from the Iron Workers, and other union tradesmen.”
“We wanted to bring the campaign here, hardhat
stickers, posters and all,” she added. Taylor said that Century Steel’s safety day also serves as a venue for the company’s annual safety awards. “It lends the recipients a lot of recognition, and that’s what’s important. It’s im-portant to be recognized for being safe and setting a good example.”
Century Steel Erectors’s safety day consistently draws more than 200 ironworkers and company employees. This year’s safety day was held on Saturday, March 31.
“These contractors are just a few of many who have begun to broadcast the ‘Countdown to Zero Fatalities’ message to their organizations,” IMPACT CEO Water-man said.
“A safe jobsite is in everyone’s best interest from the owner to contractor to ironworker and their family,” add-ed General President Wise. “A safe jobsite is a productive jobsite and delivers a quality project that everyone can look back on with pride and accomplishment.”

JOHN H. LYONS, SR. SCHOLARSHIP UPDATEA Proud Reminder
Annie Laurie is the daughter of John Holfelder Jr. of Local 207 (Youngstown, Ohio) and was awarded a John H. Lyons Sr. Scholarship in 2011. Annie Laurie had 3.9 GPA for the fall semester. Congratulations, Annie Laurie!
I enclosed the photos for a special reason. Throughout
this first semester, the construction was of great interest to
me, and actually helped me through this semester. I loved
watching the ironworkers build, and felt a little closer
to home and my father. I loved hearing the machinery
and metal noises. I even signed the beam. Just now, I
realized that the local, which was doing the construction,
was my father’s Local 207 (Youngstown, Ohio). It is
very special because, you see, I am the first recipient of
the John H. Lyons Sr. scholarship from Local 207.I just wanted to thank all of those involved with the
decision to award me this scholarship. It means so much
to me.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Annie Laurie Holfelder

Still Going StrongGarry Grant, Local 720 (Edmonton, Alberta), is still going strong working the job at age 67! While standing at the finish line, cheer-ing on his daughter who was running her first half marathon, Garry was caught up with the enthusiasm and effort of the competitors. The event inspired him to join a local run-ning group, and at age 64, he trained for, and ran the Vancouver half marathon (21.1k) in 2 hours, 3 minutes. Garry was encouraged by his running buddies to take up the challenge to train for a full marathon in Phoenix. He completed the 42.2k in 4 hours, 28 minutes. He went on to train even harder, with a mindset to qualify for the most prestigious race of all, the Boston Marathon. To qualify in his age group, Garry needed to run a marathon in 4 hours, 15 minutes. His qualifying event was the Royal Victoria Marathon, and not only did he cross the finish line in 4 hours, 10 minutes, but he achieved what most runners can only dream of, he was going to Boston! Garry ran the Boston Marathon in April 2009, at age 66, an experience he will never forget.

28 THE IRONWORKER
First Place All Around
Retiree Christmas Party
Trip Out West
Boxing MementosFrank Murphy, retired iron-worker, Local 736 (Hamilton, Ontario), was invited to the John Cabot Catholic High School in Mississauga, On-tario, to share some boxing memorabilia with two young students Arthur and Carl, both boxing fans. Notewor-thy in the memorabilia were pictures of Floyd Patterson, Olympic and heavyweight champion. And, like the two young students in this picture, he was a champion who had the toughest fights for his small stature. These two young men have a compas-sionate and caring staff as trainers. They were thrilled with several boxing mementos Frank delivered. In the photo were Ms. Brucbelleri, boxing fan Arthur DaBrowski, and his friend Carl.
Breeding Champions
John M Mur-phy III, Local 712 (Vancou-ver, B r i t i sh C o l u m b i a ) ,
and his wife Tiffany, breed and show Anatolian Shepherds. A puppy out of their first litter finished his champi-onship, making him their first home bred champion. The puppy is currently ranked #8 Anatolian in the country.

They all took a trip out west after the ironworkers finished working seven days a week for about three months at Fenway Park. On the trip were Local 4 operator Mike Morgan, Local 7 ironworkers Jack Warford Sr. and Rory Warford, and Kenny Rice, Local 7 (Boston).
The retirees of Local 568 (Cumberland, Md.) were in attendance at Local 568’s an-nual Christmas Party.
