Our Iron Worker/IMPACT joint la-bor-management conference held in

February was an unqualified success with a record attendance of participants, contrac-tors and owners. The reasons were twofold. One, the economic recovery is real and has focused attention on the construction in-dustry’s problems of poor recruitment, declining skills and safety. Two, the con-tractors’ and owners’ interest, not only in the conference agenda, but also in how ironworkers are delivering greater value to their jobsites.

What they learned is what we have always staked our reputation and pride upon: We are their best solution.

Poor recruitment: We have repeatedly demonstrated our ability to recruit young men and women to our trade, if we have the work. Make the commitment to use us and we will fill the pipeline to provide skilled ironworkers for generations to come. With only 10,000 apprentices, our 129 training centers are under-utilized and can ramp up quickly. We have doubled that in the past and, by utilizing block training, we have the capacity to train both appren-tices and journeymen in the even greater numbers needed by the industry in the coming years. We are their best solution.

Declining skills: Despite union labor’s higher productivity, technological ad-vances, modular construction and other innovations, overall construction industry productivity has declined over the past 25 years. Our commitment to training—over a billion dollars a year by building and con-struction trade unions—world-class curric-ulum and training materials and member accountability combine to deliver the best value to the owner. It is your performance on the job that is measured and continues to deliver projects on time and under budget. We are their best solution.

Safety: Statistics speak for themselves. When we see an industry rate of 27 fatali-ties for every 100,000 workers, it speaks loudly about the Iron Worker commit-

ment to safety that reduced our tragedies to seven losses of life in 2012. Tragic in-cidents are costly in human and financial terms and your commitment to zero is their best solution.

Our value to owners and contractors does not begin when the project breaks ground; your activism within our com-munities, state legislatures and on Capitol Hill is an important asset in facilitating the creation of work. All projects must under-go approval from local communities and various governmental agencies. Whether funding comes from electing represen-tatives who believe in the investment in infrastructure or the wise use of our pen-sion assets, we also have a crucial role in determining what, where and how projects

are built. We are and should be a powerful asset for our committed partners in the de-velopment of public and private projects. Once again, we are their best solution.

And why do I refer to us as “their best so-lution?” Because that is how governments, owners and contractors evaluate their pro-curement decisions and our performance. They seek partners who will provide the so-lution to their problems with their best in-terests in mind. Are we part of the problem or part of the solution? We can’t be both. The better the solution we offer, the more valuable we become. The more valuable we become, the more we grow.

Thank you for helping to build our great union.

Ironworkers Best Solution on the Jobsite

What contractors and owners have learned is what we have always staked our reputation and pride upon: We are their best solution.

SILVER LINE EXTENSION

A Bechtel-led team, along with Local 5 (Washington, D.C.) and Local 201 (Washington, D.C.) ironworkers, has completed construction of a three-mile aerial guideway, part of the 11.7 mile alignment in Phase 1 of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project. A guideway is a structure that supports trains or other vehicles that ride over it. This project features both at-grade and aerial guideways. The guideway will carry WMATA Metrorail trains over major highways and through Tysons Corner, Va., a busy suburban Washington business center.

15324_IWMar13.indd 4 3/13/13 2:38 PM

Dulles Transit Partners, the design-build con-tractor for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project and a team of ironworkers, equipment operators, electricians and laborers, built the aerial guideway. Approximately 70 ironworkers from Locals 5 and 201 worked more than a quarter of a million man-hours on the project.

“The aerial guideway has been one of the most challenging aspects of the project as we had to carry out this work safely above busy highways and in a congested area,” said Larry Melton, Bechtel’s execu-tive director on the project. “Innovative construction techniques, the work of a dedicated and experienced crew, and patience from the public were critical to the successful completion of the guideway.”

The aerial guideway makes up three miles of the 11.7-mile alignment in Phase 1. It was construct-ed by connecting more than 2,700 reinforced pre-cast concrete segments, each weighing between 25 to 40 tons. The segments were engineered for their specific location on the guideway to ensure a custom fit and were manufactured at a temporary plant built at Dulles Airport for this specific pur-pose, and then transported, one-by-one, via flat-bed truck to their location along the alignment. From there, the segments were lifted into place using one of three giant, 365-ton, 360-foot-long trusses (horizontal cranes). Anywhere from 12 to 15 segments were joined together to form spans between two supporting piers. The segments in each span are then held together by threading six post-tensioning cables through the segments and anchoring them into blocks of steel at each end of the span. The cables are approximately six inches

thick and comprised of 19 strands of twisted steel wires. When all of the cables are in place and an-chored, they are pulled tight (post-tensioned). The force of the tension, about 4.5 million pounds in an average span, ties them together. The seg-ments were installed by the bright blue and yellow trusses. The giant 365-ton, 360-foot-long trusses were used because of their ‘top-down’ construc-tion method.

The completion of the segmental bridge was de-livered three weeks earlier than estimated.

For safety reasons, most of the work was done during daylight hours. However, work over active roadways was also performed at night, with road closures and detours coordinated with the Vir-ginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) or the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), depending on which entity has jurisdic-tion over the road to be closed.

The use of overhead trusses was deemed the most efficient method for bridge construction in this area. The method is ideal in dense urban en-vironments like Tysons Corner because they use a ‘top-down’ construction method and minimized impact to the traveling public.

Traffic was stopped momentarily when the truss moved over a roadway in between piers, and when the truss lifted segments from a truck on to its portion of the alignment. In some cases, to en-sure everyone’s safety, support work required over-night closures of some main roadways. Contractors adhered to a formal and extensive safety program while executing this work.

Nick Fiore, manager of labor relations for Bechtel, praised the ironworkers for their work, “The quality, productivity, and safety record of the ironworkers on this project was excellent. Their job knowledge and the skill sets they brought to the job made this all possible.”

Completion of the guideway marks a milestone in the project. Work will now focus on the comple-tion of the stations and their associated pedestrian bridges and pavilions, as well as on the process of connecting the Dulles extension to the existing WMATA system.

Phase 1 of the Dulles Corridor extension proj-ect began in 2009 and was worked under a Heavy and Highway project labor agreement. The project is managed by the Washington Airports Authority and is currently on schedule for completion in late 2013.

15324_IWMar13.indd 7 3/13/13 2:38 PM

The WRMP increases the refinery heavy oil processing capability by re-configuring the largest of three crude distillation units and adding new cok-ing capacity and associated processing units. The modernization, expected to be completed in 2013, will provide Whiting with the capability of process-ing up to 85 percent heavy crude, ver-sus about 20 percent today.

The WRMP is the largest, most complex refining project under-taken in BP’s recent history. Almost every processing unit is being mod-

ified to some degree. The project in-cludes the installation of 380 miles of pipe, 1,200 pieces of major equip-ment, 800 shop-fabricated modules and 20,000 tons of steel.

At its peak, over 12,000 skilled craftsmen were at work on the proj-ect. (In comparison, the population of Whiting is approximately 5,000.) The project will include construction of a new coker, a new crude distilla-tion unit, a new gas oil hydrotreater, new sulfur recovery facilities, mod-ernization of the refinery’s water

1913 Whiting Refinery engineers discover that by using pressure and high temperature, they can double gasoline output from each barrel of crude oil, a discovery that becomes vital during World War I. Production goes from 2 million barrels of gasoline in 1914 to 12 million barrels in 1918.

1923 Refinery engineers discover that by adding tetraethyl to gasoline it improves the performance of automobile engines.

1941 Four days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, research at the refinery leads to the discovery of a process that can make high-grade aviation fuel from low-octane naphtha.

1959 Construction is completed on the second of two crude oil pipe stills that can distill 140,000 barrels of crude oil a day.

1972 Whiting’s No. 4 Ultraformer begins operations. It is a process where molecules of gasoline are “reformed” to produce high-octane gasoline that is lead-free.

1977 The refinery establishes an all-time production record of 504,000 barrels of crude oil in 24 hours.

1993 The Distillate Desulfurizer Unit is built to provide low-sulfur diesel fuel.

1999 Whiting becomes part of the newly merged BP Amoco Corp.

2006 Whiting Refinery announces a massive modernization project.

treating facilities and other environ-mental improvements.

The ironworkers’ work on the project included over five mil-lion manhours from 2007 to 2013, from Superior Construction Co, Inc., BMW Constructors, Inc., the American Group (TAG), Kvaerner NAC and Fluor Constructors. The ironworkers played a major role in Fluor receiving Fluor’s FCI division most improved project of the year 2011 award.

The project is contributing thou-sands of temporary contractor jobs to the community and will have a posi-tive impact on neighboring commu-nities. Hundreds of contractor jobs will continue to be needed for routine maintenance work and “turnarounds” following the modernization. Local 395 Business Manager Doug Strayer had this to say about the project, “This was a great project that supported not only ironworkers from Local 395, but from our sister locals throughout the

10

15324_March_x.indd 10 3/15/13 3:27 PM

country; and came at a time when the economy was slow allowing us to have continued employment.”

“We estimate that direct local spending during construction, in-cluding salaries and wages for field craft will be in excess of $2.5 billion,” said BP Whiting Refinery Business Unit Leader Dan Sajkowski. “Far more significant is that the project will allow us to sustain the ongoing employment base that provides a livelihood to over 2,000 families and

delivers huge economic benefit to communities in northwest Indiana.”

Mike Berna, deputy construction director for the project and a third generation refinery employee states, “As the project continues, I am es-pecially proud of the safety record the refinery has during the project. Only a few minor injuries have been reported. I credit that to the workers and the community. The Iron Work-ers have shown they know how to get the job done right and safely.”

New Officer SeminarHeld at maritime institute conference centerHeld at maritime institute conference center

In early January, approximately 40 new local union officers and

several district council presidents attended the annual New Officer Seminar held at the Maritime In-stitute Conference Center near Baltimore, Md. General President Walter Wise, General Secretary Eric Dean and General Treasurer Ed McHugh welcomed the new union officers from the United States and Canada.

The goal of this annual seminar is to prepare local officers to effec-tively lead and manage their local unions. During the six-day semi-nar, there are a series of speakers representing the International as well as labor, management and the Ironworker Management Pro-gressive Action Cooperative Trust (IMPACT).

Participants attended a Construc-tion Organizing Membership Edu-cation Training (COMET) course on

Sunday, January 6. COMET is an im-portant prerequisite to an effective construction-organizing campaign in that it emphasizes membership awareness and enlists broad support for organizing activities.

Topics discussed during The 2013 seminar included:

Roles and Responsibilities of Local Union Officers

The Ironworker Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Managing Finances—Local and International Perspectives

Effective Organizing

Shop Department Overview

IMPACT Initiatives and Tracking System Demonstrations

Safety and Health Department Overview

Davis-Bacon Overview

Leadership Principles for Local Union Officers

One of the highlights of the seminar is the negotiating exercise. Participants are given background information and then some are assigned to represent labor while others represent management. For several hours, the teams negoti-ate until an agreement is reached. Following the exercise, the teams report their results and discuss ef-fective negotiating.

The session on pensions included a labor-management panel address-ing issues and offering suggestions.

The management representative on the panel was Jim Ayersman of Genesis Steel Services. Labor rep-resentatives included Kendall Mar-tin of Local 5 (Washington, D.C.) and Kevin McVeigh of Local 201 (Washington, D.C.).

The key to the success of the semi-nar is the interaction between the pre-senters and the participants. Sessions allow time for activities, case studies, role-plays, questions and discussions. Participants are able to ask questions relating to their local unions—better preparing them to fulfill their respon-sibilities as local officers.

Each day the participants meet from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Dur-ing evening sessions participants learned about collective bargaining, the Iron Worker Information Tech-nology System (IWITS) and the La-bor Action Network.

When asked to evaluate this year’s seminar, one of the partici-pants replied, “I learned that this job takes teamwork and that the bottom line is the ironworker in the field.” John Wade, Local 11 (New-ark, N.J.) organizer remarked, “This seminar is necessary for developing the tools needed to strengthen the union brand.”

Based on feedback from the par-ticipants, this year’s seminar was a success. Of course, the true success will be in the strengthening of the local unions represented by these officers. Plans are already underway for the 2014 New Officer Seminar.

Defending Our Trade

JURISDICTION DEPARTMENTScott Malley

The Jurisdiction Depart-ment at the International

office has seen a recent escala-tion in requests for informa-tion files regarding various types of work for a number of areas across the United States

and Canada. This is a great indicator that work is now beginning to pick up from the recent economic downturn. As more and more projects kick-off, pre-job meetings are held by the contractors performing the work. Iron Worker business agents need to be equipped and ready to demonstrate at these pre-job meetings that any work assignments in question at a pre-job meeting are in fact Iron Worker jurisdiction. Formulation of local area jurisdiction files; pre-job meeting minutes, photo files, previous letters of as-signment from contractors or steward’s reports of similar work are excellent examples of the docu-mentation necessary for their argument.

On numerous projects today, the work being done is sometimes utilizing new technologies or construction methods of a specialty nature. Spe-cialty sometimes means it is a new process of doing work we have traditionally done in the past a dif-ferent way. In some cases, it is a new process being added to existing plants or in a new facility never before seen.

Structural steel and the rebar for reinforced con-crete are necessary for the majority of the construc-tion of these projects and the Iron Workers foothold is very strong in these two areas. However, at the pre-job meeting or in a jurisdictional dispute, area

or local documentation for any work is crucial to obtain a successful outcome.

Today, some trades are seeing construction markets they once dominated shrinking due to a shift in the way energy is now produced in the United States. As a shift to renewable Green En-ergy sources; wind, solar and hydroelectric occurs, new energy processes are becoming the focus. The Iron Workers have taken the initiative to train for these recent market expansions and have realized the benefits across the United States and Canada.

In spite of our efforts, we are seeing other crafts contractors bidding on projects and doing work outside of their normal work scopes in order to re-main busy, which provides a clear reason for the need of evidence files to have positive proof to sup-port our jurisdictional claims.

Today, we are asking all local unions, in every re-gion to step up their efforts to document ALL phas-es of any work we as ironworkers perform, both old and new. We sometimes take for granted what we all consider Iron Workers’ work and must capture any and all proof of it when and where we can. Contrac-tor’s letters of assignment are some of the documen-tation we look to obtain. In a dispute, an arbitrator will look at the evidence collected and offered from that area as the determining factor in their decision. In a pre-job meeting having the documentation of having done the work locally on previous projects is clearly the key to avoiding any craft from success-fully claiming our work in the first place.

Together we can assure a bright future for the Iron Workers when we all have strong evidence files on hand for ready access when any need arises.

National Fund Announces 2013 Annual Instructor Training Program

On behalf of the National Ironworkers and Em-ployers Apprenticeship Training and Journey-

man Upgrading Fund, I am pleased to announce the Twenty-Ninth Annual Ironworker Instructors Training Program being held at the Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan from July 15–19, 2013. It promises to be another exciting year with new courses that will certainly improve our training programs across North America.

We often hear that our apprenticeship programs are the lifeblood of our great union and the appren-ticeship coordinators are the instructional leaders of these programs. Without the commitment of each joint apprenticeship and training committee and trade improvement committee, our summer train-ing program would have ceased to exist long ago. I want to thank each ironworker and employer repre-sentative who volunteers their time to attend JATC and TIC meetings and make the decisions necessary to continue to build and improve the training pro-grams they represent. By approving expenditures and supporting coordinators and instructors to at-tend the annual program, committees are ensuring program quality by recognizing the importance of trainer development.

I attended my first instructor training program in 1991 and have only missed a few since. Every course I attended, whether it was a professional de-

velopment or technical course, I learned something I brought back to my training center and incorporated it into the course curriculum I taught. That’s the goal isn’t it? To constantly improve yourself so you can improve your program?

Each year we offer new courses to meet the needs of local training programs. This year we will offer the following new courses:

Experienced Apprenticeship Coordinator Course: This 10-hour discussion-based course is designed for experienced apprenticeship co-ordinators and directors. Participants will engage in group discussions using case studies developed by experienced coordinators and directors as well as National Training Fund staff. In addition, this course encourages coordinators or directors to share problems, issues and/or situations with which they need assistance. Each participant will receive a copy of the Ironworker Apprenticeship and Training Programs: A Guide for Coordinators and Directors to be used as a resource during the course.

Hazardous Materials Update: OSHA Hazard Communication Standard: This 10-hour course will focus on the CPWR HAZCOM Program. CPWR, the Center for Construction Safety and Health Research and Training, created a four-hour hazard communication program shortly before OSHA issued its major revisions to the HAZCOM standard, rendering the course non-compliant. Sub-sequently, CPWR conducted a gap analysis of the course to determine what needed to be changed. CPWR is currently revising the course to ensure it covers the major changes in the standard, address-es specific chemical exposures encountered by the various construction trades and employs effective adult education strategies. The final curriculum will include a PowerPoint presentation, student manual, instructor manual and a resources disc that is bro-ken out by individual trade. The materials, which will include a one-hour version of the longer course,

15324_March_x.indd 19 3/15/13 5:00 PM

APPRENTICESHIP DEPARTMENT REPORT continuedAPPRENTICESHIP DEPARTMENT REPORT continued

will be pilot tested in the spring of 2013 with a fi-nal product to be released in 2014. These materials, along with other relevant topics, will form the pri-mary focus of this Hazardous Materials Instructor Update course.

Using ExamView Testing Software: This 10-hour course will focus on the ExamView Assessment Suite Version 7.50, which is software apprenticeship coordinators and instructors can use for creating, administering and scoring their own tests. Course participants will learn to use the ExamView software including how to upload test banks from the National Training Fund training packages. This is a hands-on course that takes place in a computer lab.

Reinforcing Drawings & Rigging: This 20-hour course will focus on reading reinforcing drawings as well as specialty rigging applications within the reinforcing industry. Information in the current re-inforcing manual will be supplemented, expanded on and covered in detail. This will better enable in-structors to teach these specialized subjects at the local level. It is recommended participants complete the REF4 reinforcing course prior to, or at the same time, as they take this course.

Those apprenticeship coordinators and instruc-tors who complete specific course requirements will receive their Qualified Ironworker Instructor Certificate. In 2012, we presented certificates to 27 ironworkers.

As our annual program is held on the campus of Washtenaw Community College, we have estab-lished the Industrial Training Associate in Science Degree for Ironworker Coordinators and Instruc-tors. This degree program gives our journeymen the opportunity to apply their work as apprentice instructors and coordinators toward an associate in science degree. Ironworkers who receive credits for their apprenticeship program courses are able to complete courses during approximately five summer training programs in order to receive their degree.

We are extremely proud of our annual training program. Ensuring that we have qualified coordi-nators and instructors with up-to-date knowledge and skills will help us to continue to develop skilled ironworkers to meet the needs of our contractors. This will allow us to maintain our reputation as the most skilled, well-trained workforce in the construction industry.

2013 Brings New ANSI Safety Standards For Reinforcing Steel and Post-Tensioning Operations

On January 11, 2013, General President Walter Wise issued a press release to all district councils

and local unions announcing the ANSI A10 Accredit-ed Standards Committee (ASC) for Construction and Demolition Standards committee passed new compre-hensive safety standards pertaining to reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities. For many decades, seri-ous incidents trends and fatalities have occurred in the reinforcing industry without adequate safety standards to protect our members. ANSI standards are not OSHA standards, but “national consensus standards” that re-flect the position of construction industry representa-tives. The A10 ASC includes a voting membership of 73 labor and management construction organizations and requires a 66 percent vote for new standards or amendments to pass. The recent A10.9 Concrete and Masonry ballot passed with a 98 percent YES vote.

The Safety and Health Department for the Iron workers International worked closely with the De-partment of Reinforcing and the industry coalition of reinforcing steel stakeholders to petition the ANSI Committee to adopt new safety standards in 2011. The industry coalition of reinforcing stakehold-ers included representatives from the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust, National As-sociation of Reinforcing Steel Contractors, Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute, Post Tensioning Insti-tute, Western Steel Council, Department of Rein-forcing Ironworkers Advisory Committee and the Center for Construction Research and Training.

In January of 2012, I was appointed as chairman of the A10.9 Concrete and Masonry Subgroup and worked closely with the A10 ASC members and in-dustry stakeholders to pursue new safety standards for the reinforcing industry. A series of conference calls with A10.9 Subgroup members and a formal meeting was hosted at the Iron Workers Interna-tional headquarters to receive comments and ad-dress industry concerns.

Rational for Pursuing new ANSI Standards

» The current ANSI A10.9-Concrete and Masonry standard is antiquated and contains limited safety provisions for hazards associated with reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities.

» Fatality and accident trends in the reinforcing steel and post-tensioning industry indicate a direct correlation between accident causation factors and lack of specific standards.

» The use of steel reinforcement and post-tensioning in poured in-place concrete is expected to double by 2015 from its 1990 level and may comprise a majority of commercial and industrial construction.

» A revised ANSI A10.9 standard will produce the best safety standards that would represent the expertise of industry stakeholders in the reinforcing steel and post-tensioning industry.

In response to the passing of the new ANSI safety standards for reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities, General President Walter Wise sent a letter to the Assistant Secretary of La-bor for the Occupational Safety and Health Ad-ministration (OSHA) urging the agency to adopt new safety OSHA standards to protect workers

in the reinforcing steel industry. The adoption of new ANSI safety standards will help to prompt federal and state agencies to adopt the same standards. I will work with district councils, local unions and IMPACT regions that operate in the jurisdiction of state approved OSHA plans to pursue new OSHA standards. Key elements contained in the new ANSI A10.9 Concrete and Masonry standards include the following provi-sions pertaining to reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities.

Key Safety Provisions for Reinforcing Steel and Post-Tensioning• Requirements for safe jobsite access and

layout of reinforcing material and equipment.

• Written notifications prior to commencement of reinforcing steel activities.

• Stability requirements for vertical and horizontal columns, walls and other reinforcing assemblies.

• Requirements for impalement protection and custody of impalement covers.

• Requirements for hoisting and rigging reinforcement assemblies.

• Requirements for post-tensioning activities.

• Fall protection requirements.

• Requirements for formwork and false work stability.

• Training requirements.

In preparation for new ANSI and OSHA safety standards for reinforcing steel and post-tension-ing activities, the Safety and Health Department will work closely with the National Training Fund, Department of Reinforcing and IMPACT to develop new training materials that reflect new safety standards. The International Associa-tion’s “2013 ZERO Fatality” campaign targets the deadly dozen serious hazards that includes com-mon activities in the reinforcing industry. Our goal for 2013 is to pursue a downward trend to achieve zero fatalities during reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities, and challenges all members to “See Something—Say Something” to help recognize and avoid workplace hazards.

I will continue to work closely with district councils, local unions and IMPACT regional ad-visory boards throughout the United States and Canada to promote the 2013 Zero Fatality cam-paign and help improve safety performance during reinforcing steel and post-tensioning operations.

One Union—One Ironworker

SHOP DEPARTMENT REPORTJohn Bielak

We are at a crossroads where we are begin-ning to see the worst recession in our history

slowly diminish. Our union faces numerous chal-lenges in this difficult time. Our International Shop Department has been under fire for many years due to slow economy, loss of manufacturing, loss of good union companies, loss of jobs and member-ship and most of all the “back seat” mentality. We are fighting for the bare necessities: milk, food, to pay our monthly bills, and most of all, to provide for our families just to stay afloat and make our way through life. I believe we can either keep do-ing business the old way; withering on the vine or we can stand together as union brothers and sisters and fight the good fight as our forefathers did. We are “ironworkers” and there is no job too small or too big that we cannot successfully accomplish. To-gether our diverse group of shopmen will be a force to reckon with. No one but us can accomplish this feat; together we shall succeed.

Our new motto is, “There is no tomorrow unless we are successful today.” Each and every one of us must ask ourselves some hard questions: “Do I be-lieve in myself, my fellow brothers and sisters, and the Iron Workers Union, and am I willing to fight for the betterment of the members and the organi-zation?” If the answer to my question is, “Yes” then let’s get started because we have much hard work ahead of us and we must start now.

The first step is to mobilize our membership, sec-ond step to motivate, third step to recapture market share and the fourth step is to move forward. These four simple steps will take leadership, vision and ac-tion in order for us to be successful. We will need

to put the tools, resources and people in place to provide our boots on the ground with what they need. And we will orga-nize with a strategic plan like we never have done before. If we do all this, we can jump start the rebirth of the Shop Department.

We will succeed if we work hard, work together as shop men and women, work jointly with our out-side ironworker brothers and sisters, stay focused on

our goals, use the tools the International provides us with, and never give in to the non-union way of life. Non-union workers have all the same hopes and dreams as we do and we must work to educate them on how to improve their lives and the value of being a member of our union.

I ask that we not go where the path may lead us, but instead where there is no path and leave a trail for others to follow. In every challenge, there is op-portunity. We just need to look hard enough to find it. I accept the challenges before us and I do see the opportunity in our future. We will all need to stand together as ONE UNION—ONE IRONWORKER.

...we will organize with a strategic

plan like we never have done

before. If we do all this we can

jump start the rebirth of the Shop

Department.

DAVIS-BACON/PREVAILING WAGE REPORTChris Burger, Wage Compliance Administrator

Misclassification: Two Meanings: By Trade But Also Fake 1099 Status

It’s too common for rogue contractors to misclassify

their workers on their certified payroll records as “laborers.” This is a mask to cover that they are underpaying the man-

dated wage determination for that project, which by definition includes ironworker. The bidding of the fair contractors who follow the law rightly factors in the cost of trade classification of the workers they will use. But the cheater (in advance) schemes to take the low road in bidding—as if no ironworkers would be employed.

Even a project’s wage determination sheet with a missing ironworker classification requires the contractor on the project to file to have that trade added to the project. This happens when a trade fails to submit any data during a wage survey. The “con-formed” rate usually won’t be a union-based rate, but it will represent that craft and also be pegged to the skilled trades already on the wage sheet. This is what is called a Form SF1444 “conformance” proce-dure—and the DOL requires it.

Virtually all the skilled trades suffer from this ability of bottom-rung contractors to call their tradesmen “laborers” in order to dodge paying them properly. It’s a law-breaking practice that can even-tually trip them up when some basic compliance work is done. On top of that, this blatant misclassifi-cation serves to further aggravate the jurisdictional integrity of the trades.

But another form of “misclassification” we often hear about (even outside of construction) is costing the economy big time in tax revenues and exploita-tion of workers. It also deprives the funding of new infrastructure projects and the jobs they produce. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) recently made the following announcement from their Washington, D.C. headquarters:

“The WHD and Iowa Workforce Development have signed a memorandum of understanding to protect the rights of employees by preventing their misclassifi-cation as independent contractors by employers.”

Acting deputy administrator of the WHD, Mary Beth Maxwell, made the move to protect the rights of employees and level the playing field for respon-sible employers. “We’re standing united to end the practice of misclassifying employees,” said Maxwell. “This is an important step toward making sure that the American dream is still available for employees and responsible employers alike,” she added.

Since September 2011, when the WHD began entering into memorandums of understanding with states (now 14 in total) and announced a similar part-nership with the Internal Revenue Service, the division has collected $9.5 million in back wages for more than 11,400 workers where the primary reason for mini-mum wage or overtime violations under the Fair La-bor Standards Act was that workers were not treated or classified as employees. These figures represent an 80 percent increase in back wages and a 50 percent in-crease in the number of workers receiving back wages following the implementation of these agreements.

The misclassification results in a workforce often denied access to critical benefits and protections—such as overtime compensation; minimum wage pay; unemployment insurance; or family and medi-cal leave, to which they are entitled.

In addition, misclassification can create economic pressure for law-abiding business owners, who often find it difficult to compete with those who are skirt-ing the law. Employee misclassification also generates substantial losses for state unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation funds.

More information is available on the De-partment of Labor’s misclassification website at www.dol.gov/misclassification. (adapted from press release)

The DOL has greatly improved their enforce-ment and there is no reason why we should deny this reality. Take action! But before you do, please call this office (whether you’re a contractor, a busi-ness manager, agent or organizer) to plot a strategy when you hear of prevailing wage cheating of any kind. As the old public service message about vigi-lance would say, “Take a bite out of crime.”

IMPACT Prepares Ironworker Contractors for Growth in Competitive Recovery Economy

The construction industry is on its way back, ac-cording to a Jan. 4 report from the Bureau of Labor

Statistics announcing that 30,000 new construction jobs were created across the United States in December 2012. As conditions improve in all sectors of the U.S. econo-my, construction industry contractors must ensure that they remain viable in the competitive recovery market by investing heavily in their human capital. IMPACT is doing just that: Ensuring that ironworker contractors and their employees—a large portion of whom are iron-workers themselves—have the superior skills they need to compete in the expanding marketplace.

A dozen attendees from four contracting companies joined IMPACT in Arlington, Texas, Jan. 14–17, to at-tend the newly launched Project Manager Academy (PMA), a course aimed at contractor leaders, project managers and future project managers.

“The experience contractors take from this course not only benefits their own business, it benefits iron-workers, owners, developers…the entire industry,” said Kevin Hilton, IMPACT CEO. “We are raising the bar on quality for everyone.”

Marvin Ragsdale, labor co-chair for IMPACT’s Texas Mid-South Region, echoed Hilton. “Texas Mid-South ironworkers and contractors are committed to improv-ing our management skills as we compete to gain mar-ket share,” he said. “And, the feedback we received from this course proves that our managers are implementing valuable new skills in the field.”

PMA, conducted by IMPACT in partnership with leading construction industry consultants FMI, in-

cludes a curriculum designed to cultivate leadership skills and hone knowledge needed in the construction industry, of which project planning, billings and cash flow and communication styles are just a few examples.

According to ironworker Harvey Swift, field opera-tions manager for Bennett Steel, Inc., Sapulpa, Okla., PMA has the power to yield real change in the behav-iors and practices of contractor leaders, with the result of “highly improving company profitability.” Swift said, “I think attendees will make a real effort to implement process, cultural and institutional changes at our com-pany.” All of which are needed to survive in an increas-ingly competitive industry. Dave Bennett, management co-chair for IMPACT’s Texas Mid-South Region, owns and manages Bennett Steel, Inc.

One participant indicated that he “learned how important it is to focus on the customer and to ad-dress their concerns.” Another lauded the course’s focus on building internal relationships at contract-ing companies, in addition to time management and personal life balance.

A 30-year industry veteran said, “I learned a lot of things about myself and things I need to focus on to do my job better. We should all take what we learned here and not forget to apply it.”

IMPACT provides educational opportunities for ironworker contractors across North America, with the goal of doubling market share by 2021. IMPACT also regularly offers courses for ironworker contractors, in partnership with FMI, at the Annual Ironworker In-structors Training Program in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Local 75 Celebrates a Century in Arizona

Older than the very state it calls “home,” Local 75 celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010, honoring past, present and future members and the best Arizona craftspeople in the trade. Local 75 was chartered in the small mining town of Miami, Arizona, on July 6, 1910, and has been building Arizona ever since!Local 75, along with General President Walter Wise, leadership from State of California and Vicinity District Council, members of all ages and their loved ones, as well as Arizona elected officials, came together at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak in Phoenix for the celebration. The festive reception, dinner and live-music dance included recognition of pin members from 25 to 65 years, a retrospective photo montage of projects and members at work, as well as a commemorative video and taped congratulations from elected officials. The evening’s theme, “Building Arizona—100 Years Strong!” was shared by more than 500 in attendance.Local 75 is immensely proud of its centennial legacy in Arizona and sends its sincere thanks to General President Wise, District Council President Joe Standley, leadership from locals across the district council and beyond, and of course, our members for sharing this celebration with us.

Al Kuebler, Local 11 (Newark, N.J.), has been a member since June of 1963. He stands proudly on the roof of the Yacht Club, during the 1986 construction of the Port Liberte development in Jersey City. He was the crane foreman for the building. The photo has become even more special since the tragic day of 9/11, with the Twin Towers shown in the background.

Proud Ironworker

George “Buz” Spiegel Sr. was the first in a long line of family ironworkers to join Local 416 (Los Angeles) and has been a proud member for over 50 years. Buz’s sons and sons-in-law created a second generation of ironworkers by joining Lo-cal 416. Buzz Jr., James Sr., Guy Sr., Greg Jr., Josh Sr., Guy Jr., Brian, Chris and Buz’s entire family and friends would like to thank him for all he has done and wish him a very happy 75th birthday, which he celebrated on June 22, 2012.

Ironworkers who want to access industry news from across North America will find a treasure trove of useful information at www.ironworkers.org, the official website of the Iron Workers Union. This TechConnect serves as a brief guide to help you find—and share—news, pictures and important updates.

Banners: Banners showcase the union’s most important public updates and announcements. Statements from the general president, newsworthy events and vital programs always appear here first.

News Items: The “News” section features press releases and announcements that don’t usually appear in The Ironworker due to their time-sensitive nature.

President’s Message: Messages from General President Walter Wise always appear first in the website’s Banner sec-tion, but we also keep an archive on the “President’s Message” page. You can access the archive under “Who We Are,” then by clicking on “President’s Message.”

Ironworker Magazine: A complete archive of The Iron-worker—with issues dating all the way back to 1901, when the publication was still called The Bridgeman—is available on this portion of the website. You can also enjoy features from the most recent issue, in addition to accessing full-res photographs from the publication on the Ironworkers Flickr page.

Social Media: Easily access news from Iron Workers on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr with these easy links. Simply click on each social media icon to cycle through our latest posts.
