Tis the season I look back

and look forward, and take the time to recognize and

count my blessings. We blink, and it seems another year has gone by; and as we age, the more apparent the value of time becomes. So, we should embrace it and not waste it, because we’ll never get a moment of it back. I do believe we should look back once in a while, just to assess what we have accomplished and evaluate whether or not we’re on the right path to achieve our personal and professional goals. Throughout our lives we’re all thrown curve balls that may cause us to

drift off course. We must stay conscious of that fact and readjust when necessary, because in life there are no “do-overs.” It is equally as important to recognize the blessings our family, friends, and alliances add to our lives.

At this time of year, I make it a point to reflect on the above, making sure my values and direction for the New Year are in check and on course. Sadly, I was reminded of the brevity of life a little early this year, after receiving a letter from the parents of Local 104 member Jason P. McArthur, who, in August, tragically lost his life in an automobile accident. I asked Jason’s parents for permission to publish their letter, because I believe it exemplifies the role Local 104 plays,

‘Tis The Seasonnot only on the business side of our lives, but on the personal side as well. With close to 10,000 members in this Local, we may not know each other personally, but we should consider each other extended family, because as you can see by the letter below, we really do matter to one another.

Hopefully, we can keep our blessings in mind as we go about our day-to-day lives, and recognize that our success and happiness are interconnected with our Union Brothers and Sisters. May we all remember that, as we keep Jason P. McArthur and his family in our thoughts and prayers throughout this Holiday Season; and may we all have a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

BruceDear Bruce Word,

We are the parents of Jason McArthur who was killed by a drunk driver on August 30th, 2014.The support of fellow brothers and sisters of Local 104 at Jason’s memorial was very heartwarming. Brothers of mine, brothers

and sisters of our oldest son, Ron Boehm and of course, Jason’s brothers, sisters, teachers, bosses and co-workers from Critchfield Mechanical and O.C. McDonald, along with Mark Van Den Heuvel all came by to offer their condolences and support.

Justin, a fellow sheet metal worker and friend of both Jason and his fiancee made a metal cross for a candlelight vigil that was held at the site of the crash and then arranged to bring it to the memorial for friends and family to sign. It is a treasured piece and once his fiancee recovers we will give it to her. We have enclosed a picture of the cross. There were so many people that wanted to sign it, the comments and signatures are on the front and all sides as well.

Mark Van Den Heuvel has been especially kind and helpful during this difficult time. He has spent time with us, brought by Jason’s 3’ year school projects and handled the paperwork to get the benefit process started. He also arranged a donation to the medical and support fund of Kendra Jones, Jason’s fiancee who was critically injured in the crash. He has gone way above the responsibilities of his position and we will forever be grateful.

We have always been a proud Sheet Metal Union Worker family, (Jason was the third member) but never realized the full impact of the brotherhood until this tragedy befell our family. It is with appreciation and gratitude that we thank everyone for their help and support.

Sincerely,

The parents of Jason P. McArthurRonald and Bobbi Boehm

Jason McArthur and the metal cross that was made for his candlelight vigil. Jason will always be our sheet metal brother.

First, I would like to wish each

and every member a very safe and happy holiday and

a prosperous new year! 2014 brought some challenges but the membership of Local 104 rose to the occasion and met every single one with the foresight that will keep us union-strong for years to come.

2015 will bring new challenges, one of them being the Jo int Administrative Management System.

Closing Out 2014 and Bringing in the New YearThis complex project, which will take a few years to research, plan, budget, and complete, will be a multi-use software application with a centralized database of information. One of the main goals of the new application is to create fluidity and connectivity between areas and departments which currently don’t have the means to interact or exchange information. The research we have done has shown it will be time and cost-saving, freeing up treasury money for new projects and to continue funding valuable union

programs. I will keep you

updated on the status of this project that will be overseen by the IT Steering Committee, the IT

Department, and the Executive Board of Local Union No. 104. Because this isn’t something that we can purchase off a store shelf, it’s going to take patience and discipline to ensure we have a product this union can use and build on in the future.

I hope the membership can see the long-term value in creating this software application. We live in a time when technology advances by the minute. We won’t ever catch up but it’s critical we use our available resources to ensure we are serving the membership in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

Until next year, I wish you and your families a happy holiday season and all the best in the new year!

God Bless!

Above is the current system architecture that has existed and been added to over the past decades. With the new Joint Administrative Management System (right graphic), we will be able to expand efficiently while creating cost and time-savings for the membership.

The Local Union No. 104 Budget was passed unanimously on Thursday, November 20, 2014. I would like to thank all of those that assisted me with projections and other preparations. I would also like to offer

a special thanks to my staff accountant, Christina for all of her hard work on this annual project. Also, there was a motion made, seconded and carried to amend the District 2 retirees’ dues rate to equal the $22.00 rate of the District 1 Retirees, effective January 1, 2015. Please note: As noticed, the previous retirees rate/s were:

District 1: $16.00 per monthDistrict 2: $18.00 per month

Effective January 1, 2015:$5.00 increase and $1.00 I.A. per capita increase = $6.00

All retirees rates for Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 104 = $22.00

Temporary Amendment to Hiring Hall and Referral, Section I. Travel Provision

Please be advised, Local 104 has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that allows a one-time exception to the current Building Trades and Residential Collective Bargaining Agreements’ (CBA) Hiring Hall and Referral language. This MOU covers all Contractors who have signed a District 1 CBA and members employed by such Contractors. This exception allows any member who voluntarily wishes to do so, the ability to move his/her job qualification card from one geographical dispatch office of Local 104 (including District 2) to another and be dispatched to the same employer without waiting or meeting the thirty (30) calendar-day provision noted in the below Hiring Hall language. No employer shall require a member to move their job qualification card as a condition of employment. Members will only be afforded this opportunity one time during the life of the MOU. Members are required to make a request in writing at the dispatch office to which they wish to transfer. The MOU will expire on Monday, August 29, 2015.

HIRING HALL AND REFERRAL, SECTION I, TRAVEL PROVISION – No employee shall be allowed or required to relocate his/her job qualification card from one geographical dispatch office of Local 104 to another for purposes of circumventing the travel, mileage, and subsistence language.… [As defined in the Agreements] To implement the above, no Employer shall be allowed to request by name, any employee who has, within thirty (30) calendar days, been employed within another dispatch area of Local 104 by the requesting Employer. While Employers from outside the jurisdiction may not be solicited, such Employers may, at the Employer’s option, call one (1) Foreperson per jobsite by name, provided the thirty (30) calendar-day provision is adhered to. The thirty (30) calendar-day provision shall not apply when the employee is officially re-dispatched by the Hiring Hall due to the employee’s chronological order of registration nor shall it apply when the call by name is required to secure an individual possessing special skills or qualifications. If it is necessary, at the discretion of a Business Representative, to refer applicants from another Local 104 dispatch office to fill a “call for applicants” in a specific area, the thirty (30) calendar-day provision shall not be applicable.

** Should you have any questions or need clarification, please contact your area Business Representative.

2014 List of Accomplishments


Campaign for Jobs (CFJ)Since January 1, 2014, we have had over 200 (232 to be exact) CFJ events where 1,895 Action Shifts were covered. A total of 744 members participated in 2014, meaning many members came to multiple events. 49 members brought a guest to support an event. 140 members attended 65 phone banks and 252 attended 63 precinct walks.

Some of the significant events that took place in 2014 were: ♦ January 23 - Sacramento - Sac City Unified School District PLA Vote: 16 members in attendance. ♦ March 1 - Livermore - 2014 Campaign for Jobs Conference: 477 members in attendance!!! ♦ March 27 - Sacramento - McKinley Village Planning Commission Meeting: 18 members in attendance. ♦ May 20 - Sacramento - Kings Arena Council Vote: 13 members in attendance. ♦ September 13 - Vacaville - Precinct Walk for the Vacaville Candidates: 13 members in attendance. ♦ October 1 - Burlingame - Meet and Greet for San Mateo County Elected Leaders: 13 members in attendance. ♦ October 4 - San Jose - Precinct Walk for Mayor Dave Cortese: 45 members in attendance. ♦ October 4 - San Francisco - Precinct Walk for Various San Francisco Candidates: 13 members in attendance. ♦ October 11 - San Leandro - Literature Drop for San Leandro Candidates: 25 members in attendance. ♦ November 1 - San Leandro - Pauline Cutter for Mayor Literature Drop: 14 members in attendance.

Although there were over 200 events, ranging from 2 to 477 members in attendance, every single event played an integral role in securing millions of hours for SMW Local 104 members; and this is what makes Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 104 one of the most productive and progressive Unions in the Northern California Building Trades today.

Government Appointments ♦ SMW Local 104 Business Representative Brett Risley - Re-appointed to the Napa County Democratic Central Committee

as exo-official for Napa County Supervisor Brad Wagenknecht. ♦ SMW Local 104 Business Representative Dave Dias - Chair of the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and re-appointed

as Technical Committee Member to the Green Technical Committee and the Uniform Mechanical Code Committee through IAPMO. ♦ SMW Local 104 Business Representative Victor Torreano - Redwood City Board of Building Review and re-appointed to

the San Mateo County College Bond Oversight Board. ♦ SMW Western States Council Administrator Erik Emblem - Re-appointed as Technical Committee Member to the Green

Technical Committee and the Uniform Mechanical Code Committee of IAPMO.

Additional Ways We Have Generated Future Hours. ♦ Recruited numerous members to sign up for and pass TABB classes specifically focused on the new industry standard set by

the California Energy Commission. This will generate countless amounts of hours in the future (For more information, please see page 21 for more details).

♦ Through the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (“IAPMO”), flex duct is now limited to a maximum of 5’- 0” through the United Mechanical Code. This was achieved as the result of the work and commitment put forth by SMW Local 104 Business Representative Dave Dias and SMW Western States Council Administrator Erik Emblem, both serving as Technical Committee Members of IAPMO.

♦ Actively participated in the California School Board Association Annual Conference to develop relationships with school board members to educate and recruit high school graduates for a career in the unionized sheet metal industry and to secure school district PLA’s throughout the state.

GOLF TOURNAMENT

39th Annual Western States

OcTObER 23, 2014Rancho Solano Golf & Country Club

The 39th Annual Western States HVAC Industry Golf Tournament was held in Fairfield on October 23rd at the Rancho Solano Country Club. We had a terrific year with a full line up of golfers and numerous sponsors. Our Honoree this year was State Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla. Assemblywoman Bonilla has been a champion for energy and efficiency in California. She has also been a champion for organized labor. In 2013, she co-authored SB-54, which requires that only journeypersons and apprentices who have graduated from a state-approved apprenticeship program with advanced safety training can be hired in a wide scope of refinery work throughout California.

The 40th Annual HVAC Industry Golf

Tournament will be held on October 22, 2015,

Contra Costa Metal Fabricators

With such a diverse trade, it’s hard not to become overwhelmed by the variety of work that goes into being a sheet metal craftsman. Although HVAC is what most people know our trade by, there is such a world beyond that, and Contra Costa Metal Fabricators are experts in covering the field when it comes to customized industrial and specialty metal products.

Walking into their shop in the heart of Concord, you feel an instant sense of family and pride. Special metal trophies are in clear display, as Intel Aerospace has just requested a large order for their organization. If anyone is going to be able to design some of the most dynamic pieces of metal out there, it can most certainly be the team at Contra Costa Metal Fabricators (CCMF).

CCMF began on April 1st, 1965. They started as a Mom and Pop shop, and on September 7th, 1996, Monterey Mechanical took over. With the take over of Monterey Mechanical came the opportunity for new equipment and a chance at exploring a diverse range of customers. From PG&E to various Bay Area Refineries (Tesoro, Shell, Valero, Chevron, Phillips 66), CCMF is always busy with a variety of projects that fit their wipe scope of expertise. They are well versed in all types of Hot Rolled, Stainless Steel, Nickel, Copper and other Corrosion Resistant Alloys. They fabricate and install metalwork from 26 gauge up to and including 1” plate.

It does seem that it’s not just about the craftsmanship that makes CCMF experts at what they do. “Our timeliness and professionalism would not be possible if it weren’t for having the best crew out there,” said Shop Foreman Joe Shelfo. As Manager Tod Mundy puts it best, “We are a team. Everyone brings something to the table, everyone has talent that we want to utilize.” It’s clear the CCMF family will continue to thrive because of their hard work and expertise!

High Quality Industrial and Specialty Metal Fabricators


Contra Costa Metal Fabricators is made up of Manager Tod Mundy, Shop Foreman Joe Shelfo, Jeremy Anderson, Rich Bedard, Garrett Brumley, Suzi Fasano, Russ Haller, Charles Madding, Bobby Madriz, James Massey, Randall Myers, and Will Stoker.


In the fall of 2014, representatives of the IBEW, UA, and SMW Local 104 met in the office of one of the major builders in the Bay Area. Within twenty minutes an agreement was reached that will generate over 160,000 hours for Electricians, Plumbers and Sheet Metal Workers (MEPs) to help build a mixed-use project in the South Bay. Earlier that year, another 180,000 in hours were won when a large Sunnyvale project was secured in an agreement with the MEP unions.

The opportunity for winning 340,000 hours of good middle class wages were made possible by the over 240 SMWarriors who came to Sunnyvale in September 2012 and declared in front of a large BRE non-union mixed-use project that the fight for middle class America is on!

That 2012 rally began the building of a community consensus that both public and private sector construction deserved to be built by workers earning an income that could support a family.

The 2012 BRE Hope and Opportunity rally was really the kick-off to the South Bay Campaign for Jobs which in 2014 won agreements covering over 800,000 hours for IBEW, UA, and SMW members. In the two years since the rally, the CFJ in the South Bay had members speaking at city council and planning commission meetings, attending “meet and greets” with elected leaders in their community, going to neighborhood meetings when developers were “selling their project,” and working hard to elect Union labor friendly candidates.

The new pledge for candidates seeking Local 104’s endorsement is an example of the aggressive program Local 104 is conducting to grow union marketshare in its jurisdiction. Sunnyvale Council Members who signed the pledge are among those who just endorsed holding private developers in their city to higher job standards (see related story on page 15). Local 104 is the first Union in the nation to have such a pledge.

Core values of the pledge include: • Furthering smart land use and

growth policies, by offering energy efficient and sustainable, green building design and promoting transportation choices for the community.

• Ensuring that local workers will be hired on project construction and make meaningful efforts to ensure they get paid the area standard wage.

The Sustainable Communities Pledge

Holding Politicians accountable

Clara County is not the only positive outcome from the movement kicked off by the 2012 Hope and Opportunity Rally in Sunnyvale. In October 2014, a national first was achieved in Sunnyvale when that City Council voted to place job standards on new private sector construction (See related story on page 15).

• Providing outreach to local youth and disadvantaged communities for construction craft apprenticeship training and provide opportunities for them to have work opportunity to fulfill their hours as participants in a state approved Labor/Management apprenticeship program.

To see the full list of core values and to read the pledge in it’s entirety, please log on to the member portal at www.smw104.org

The 2012 BRE Hope and Opportunity Rally has since sparked major progress in securing future hours in the South Bay.

Sunnyvale City CounCil voteS 6 to 1 for Job StandardS for ConStruCtion WorkerS!

With a billion dollars in development coming into their community, the Sunnyvale City Council took the next step towards better jobs. In a motion led by Mayor Jim Griffith and Councilmember Glenn Hendricks, the Council voted 6-1 to direct staff to bring back a local hiring ordinance for major public and private projects, specifically to include apprentice hiring requirements, an outreach plan for local hiring, and ensuring all contractors and subcontractors are appropriately licensed.

There were several speakers from the trades including a Sheet Metal Worker, a Plumber, an Elevator Constructor, and the head of the South Bay Building Trades Council. Business Representative Mark Van Den Heuvel

spoke and was a main organizer for the action.

Community speakers also came out in favor including Marie Bernard, director of Sunnyvale Community Services and a leader in the successful minimum wage campaign in Sunnyvale; Ruth Silver-Taube, workers’ rights attorney and a leader in the Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition; and Carol Weiss, chair of the Santa Clara County Human Relations Commission.

Ms. Bernard states her non-profit has seen hundreds of non-union construction workers seeking housing and other social services assistance. Thousands of non-union construction workers have poured into the Bay Area to help build the biggest housing boom since WWII.

Angelo Ricci, a SMWarrior and Marine Veteran, gave the most powerful speech that night that had Council Members thanking him after the meeting for standing up for our veterans.

Ricci stated in front of the Councilmembers, “I was fortunate to have found a way to re-enter civilian life and begin to heal from what I experienced serving our nation. I have found that Union Sheet Metal Work provides dignity and a career that gave me a shot at the American Dream.” He concluded by urging the City Council to direct staff to look at what can be done to make sure veterans and our youth can better be served by the few billion being invested into our community.

Running to Feed the Hungry

This past Thanksgiving, the Sacramento Labor Management Cooperative Trust (LMCT) made a $1500.00 donation to this year’s Run to Feed the Hungry and put forth a team of 23 to attend the event. This annual Sacramento event raises funds for the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services. On top of the run, a few years ago, our apprentice class installed HVAC into one of the family services homes that provides free tax services for their clients that can’t afford, or know how to do their taxes as they are rehabilitated into the world of the employed. Right on team!

TITLE 24 Training and TABB Certification

Training continues as numbers to reach our goal of 300 continues to climb!!

It is still very important for anyone who is currently TABB Certified or practicing Test and Air Balance work to call and pursue class information for Title 24 Training.

If you are a Building Trades Sheet Metal, or Building Trades Service member who is actively working with Test and Air Balance equipment, please call and commit yourself

to taking the TABB Certification testing and the Title 24 Training to meet our goal.

Your participation in this program will help implement legislation ensuring that projects are built and will operate as designed.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE COMPLETED CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAINING WE THANK YOU!

WE CANNOT MEET THIS GOAL WITHOUT THE HELP OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
