GENERAL PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

The importance and potential impact on our industry requires me to begin by addressing the U.S. presidential election. As you should know by now, we have endorsed Hillary Clinton.

The HFIAW supports Hillary because she asked for our endorsement, but more importantly, she worked to earn that endorsement. She invited the Insulators to submit our recommendations on how to improve our economy, promote energy savings and improve our environment.

We welcomed the opportunity to share our proposals and experiences, and she heard us and responded in a positive way.

Hillary Clinton’s Clean Energy Plan recognizes the economic, energy and environmental benefits of mechanical insulation. She wants our members to help build more efficient public buildings, and she wants improved building codes to ensure that we do not lose work to value engineering. As I have said on many occasions during this campaign, we need to work for Hillary Clinton because Hillary Clinton is working for us. I recognize she is not a perfect candidate, and some members have their reasons not to support her.

But there are so many issues tied to this election that can impact our lives and determine the future of America. Hillary Clinton understands the real world, and has the experience to lead our nation.

Furthermore, our next president will not only choose new members to the Supreme Court, but also make hundreds of appointments to every federal department and agency. When you vote for Hillary Clinton, you are also voting for her team of public servants who will serve as the

Secretaries of Labor, Energy and other cabinet departments.

This is why elections matter so much, and Hillary Clinton will guarantee that Labor will always have a seat at the table, and have a voice. You can see the statement I sent to the Democratic National Platform Committee on the next page. I encourage you all to read it and think about the positive statement we can make with all of our voices sending the same message.

Also in this edition, you will find the Government Affairs section full of information related to the general Election, including information on how to register and when you can vote.

Focus on Organizing As I stated at the Local Officers Conference in August, we are in the 16th year of industry growth. We are the only industry that can say this and we are proud to continually expand our workforce.

That is why I must highlight the need and necessity that all our Locals have ongoing organizing campaigns.

General Executive Board Mandates:• Every Local union must have an active organizing

campaign with a strategy in place. The Local’s Conference International Organizer and International Vice President must be provided with this plan.

• Every Local Union must hold, at minimum, a monthly organizing committee meeting and the results from this meeting need to be submitted to the designated Conference International Organizer and International Vice President.

• Every Local Union must also submit their monthly meeting report to the OMS system the HFIAW has in place.

• Every Local Union must use the OMS system for projects that cost $50 mil-lion or more. Also, BAT journeyman projects must follow BAT/Red Seal Certified Job Specs.

• Every Conference will hold an OMS update class at least once per year congruently with a Con-ference Meeting. Every Local Union Organizer must attend and pass a three-day OI evaluation class, and all must attend an International Depart-ment BTA training class.

Disaster Relief Fund The HFIAW has been aiding Brothers and Sisters in our industry in 2016 throughout the United States and Canada with the union-wide Disaster Relief Fund.

We most recently assisted members from Local 53 in New Orleans and from Local 112 in Lake Charles for the Louisiana flooding, totaling $31,500. Thank you to Local 53 Business Manager Leo Damaris for his assistance throughout this process.

The California wildfires have also affected many members of our HFIAW family. The Disaster Relief Fund was created to help our members in need and we will be doing just that.

Our 31st Quinquennial Convention At the Local Officers meeting I announced details

related to the 31st Quinquennial Convention to held in August 2017. The Convention, will take place in Boston, a city with a rich history, much like our storied union.

A lot of work needs to be accomplished between now and then, but I am positive that this will be our best convention to date. You can find the official Convention Call on page 3.

2017 CONVENTION CALL

In accordance with Article V of the International Constitution and Bylaws, we hereby issue the call for the 31st Quinquennial Convention of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, which will convene Monday Morning, Aug. 21, 2017 at 9 a.m. at the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. In order to determine the number of delegates to which each local union is entitled, and to provide for their proper selection, please refer to the International Constitution and Bylaws, Article V, Sections 3, 4 and 6. “Section 3 – Affiliated local unions in good standing must be represented by delegates who have been regularly nominated, elected and properly credentialed in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution, including Section 6 of this Article.” “Section 4 – Ninety (90) days prior to the convention, affiliated local unions with all International arrearages paid up to and including the month of March, preceding the convention, can be represented by one (1) delegate and by additional delegates in the ratio of one (1) for every one hundred (100) of their good standing per capita membership, or any fraction thereof up to one thousand three hundred (1,300), and thereafter in the ratio of one (1) for every five hundred (500) of their good standing per capita membership or any fraction thereof. The good standing per capita membership of local unions shall be that membership upon which said local union has paid the General Office each month for the four (4) months immediately prior to and including the month of March preceding the convention.” Section 4 provides for the number of delegates to which each local is entitled as well as requiring all local union arrearages to be paid to and including March, 2017. Because delegate strength is based on members having paid four (4) months per capita prior to and including the month of March, 2017 preceding the convention; it would behoove all local union financial secretaries to make certain that the dues of the entire membership are paid to the current month. “Section 6 – The president, business manager, business agents (if elected), all full-time officers and the vice president, will automatically, by virtue of their office, be delegates to the International Convention, provided that the provision for these combined offices shall not increase the number of delegates otherwise provided for by Section 4 of this Article. If the number of those serving in the offices listed above exceeds the number of delegates to which a local union is entitled, officers shall be selected as delegates in the order listed in this paragraph.

Additional International convention delegates and alternates must be nominated and elected at meetings of their local unions. Except in asbestos abatement regional local unions, a member, to be eligible, must have been a member of our International Association for five (5) years, must have worked as a mechanic for at least two (2) years and shall have been in continuous good standing for two (2) years and in attendance at a majority of the regular local union meetings held during the past twelve (12) months prior to date of nomination for convention delegates. In asbestos abatement regional local unions, a member, to be eligible, must have been in continuous good standing for six (6) months prior to the date of nominations for convention delegates. In the event an elected delegate is unable to attend the convention, for any reason, the candidate receiving the next highest vote in the descending order from those delegates elected shall be the first alternate and shall be entitled to substitute for any delegate unable to attend the convention. This process shall be repeated for each additional delegate who is unable to attend the convention” You are reminded that the election of delegates is covered by the election procedure of the Landrum-Griffin Law, which proved that a notice of the time and place for holding the election of Convention delegates must be mailed to the last known address of all local members within a reasonable time (usually 15 days) and that the election be conducted by secret ballot. The local unions are reminded that all resolutions to be considered by this 31st Convention of our International Association must be previously endorsed by a local union of which the introducer is a member, and an individual copy of each resolution forwarded to the General Office by registered mail not later than (90) days prior to the convening date of the convention (Tuesday, May 23, 2017). Resolutions can, however, be introduced at any session of our Convention by unanimous vote. Upon receipt of the resolutions, the General Office will reproduce them and forward a copy to all local unions forty-five (45) days prior to the Convention (Friday, July 7, 2017) for the purpose of information only, and no local union will take official action endorsing any such resolutions or instructing their delegates therewith in accordance with Section 10 of Article V of the Constitution. In the near future, we will be forwarding to all of our local unions credentials and information concerning hotel reservations.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

With the conclusion of the two national party conventions, and Labor Day when we celebrate the contributions of the union movement, we are now in the final stretch of a lengthy and divisive U.S. presidential campaign.

I am very pleased to report on several initiatives that have increased and improved our political engagement. Please visit our International website for more information on the key 2016 statewide races and legislative update.

Political Communications and Infrastructure For this election, we have been working with the North American Building Trades Unions (NABTU) department of the AFL-CIO to improve our political communications; our ability to elect the candidates who support our building trades priorities; and our ability to enact legislation to create construction jobs for us and other building trades affiliates.

To improve political communications, NABTU hired experienced political consultants, and we have worked with these campaign professionals to develop targeted campaign ads that focus specifically on our issues.

These ads were sent to our members in some of the last primary states, and a copy of that ad is printed in this Journal. Updated ads in support of the Clinton-Kaine ticket and important statewide races will be sent to members in the key battleground states.

Our ability to produce campaign literature with a specific message for our members is a significant improvement. Previously, we participated only in the AFL mail program, and those campaign communications had a generic labor message.

We have also improved our political infrastructure with our participation and support for the Hard Hats for America and ReBuild USA organizations.

These political and advocacy organizations will harness the collective strength of building trades unions into a united and strategic force to elect candidates who support the trades and create the momentum for legislation to create building trade jobs.

Democratic National Platform Committee Statement After our successful work to help Hillary Clinton secure the nomination, General President McCourt wrote to the Democratic National Platform Committee to encourage the inclusion of clean energy language, including mechanical insulation, in the Democratic platform.

I am pleased to report that the final version of the Democratic platform included several references to encourage clean energy, including tax incentives.

General President McCourt’s statement was another great opportunity to promote the Insulators and our clean energy work.

The Insulators Working For Hillary Clinton Shortly after the Democratic National Convention, the Insulators were delighted to welcome Nikki Budzinski, Labor Outreach Director for the Clinton Campaign, to make a presentation at our Local Officers Conference.

Nikki was outstanding as she recognized our work to help Hillary Clinton win the Democratic nomination, and she encouraged our leadership and local officers to do even more for the general election.

You will recall that in February, General President McCourt sent a memo to all U.S. Local Business Managers Continued on page 5.

That’s why the Heat and Frost Insulators have endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.

Hillary Clinton understands the value of mechanical insulation to promote our national energy, economic and environment objectives. Her clean energy plan will create Insulators jobs to make our public buildings, schools and hospitals more energy efficient, and will improve building codes to ensure our work is not lost to value engineering.

Hillary Clinton’s top priority is creating good-paying jobs and getting paychecks growing for working families. Clinton will fight to protect Prevailing Wages, expand the use of Project Labor Agreements, and fund energy infrastructure projects that pay middle-class wages and benefits.

Hillary Clinton: Protecting our jobs and restoring fairness

that highlighted the inclusion of mechanical insulation in Hillary Clinton’s clean energy proposal, and the need for our members to work and vote for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. For the November Election, General Pres-ident McCourt has circulated a new memo to every U.S. Local Business Manager on the importance for us to mo-bilize, organize and vote for Hillary Clinton in November. With the dedicated work of our leaders and members, we have accomplished so much. We have seen the differ-ence that new leadership has meant in Canada with the election of Prime Minister Trudeau.

Now is the time for us to elect our candidate who knows the Insulators and supports the work that we do.

That candidate is Hillary Clinton.

OFFICERS CONFERENCE

2016 Local Union Officers Conference

More than 200 HFIAW Business Managers, Officers, Organizers and staff filled the meeting room at the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Fla. to discuss the status of our industry and work together to grow our union and expand market share.

General Secretary Treasurer Gregory Revard opened the 2016 Local Union Officers Conference with introductions, including the acknowledgment that this would be the first conference presided by General President James P. McCourt, which drew standing applause from the entire room.

McCourt was officially sworn in as General President during the 2015 officers conference.

The three-day conference began with a presentation by Todd Dunnahoe, Director of Organizing, going through the COMET system with an emphasis on Organizing training that will be happening in the next year.

The presentation was tag-teamed with Tom Kriger of the North American Building Trades Union (NABTU), who went on to engage the audience with a demonstration to display union saturation in markets.

“Make organizing efforts be effective and make changes.” Kriger went on to say, “Your participation over the years has had an impact.”

General President McCourt addressed the attendees with updates on various industry news, including assurances that progress is being made in Union relations and advancements in establishing a collective agreement.

Dr. Eudice Goldberg, Co-Founder of the Canadian Mesothelioma Foundation discussed the SMART study, analyzed the Photodynamic Therapy and spoke of advancements with both the Canadian and American Mesothelioma Foundations.

Continuing with important medical updates, Dr. Michael Harbut took the stage to discuss the Breath of Life Foundation. He also stressed and urged the need for all the members to regularly get flu and pneumonia shots for preventative measures. If there is any Insulator or family member that is diagnosed with asbestos medical conditions, Dr. Harbut reminded the audience that he is

only one phone call away and is ready to assist.

General Secretary Treasurer Gregory Revard provided those in attendance with an update on the HFIAW’s current financial standings. He also stressed the importance and fiduciary responsibility Local officers and Trustees must maintain for each Local to thrive and to stabilize the future of the HFIAW.

Revard also addressed the need for members’ fees to be up to date and paid through the month of February 2017 to have the proper representation attending the August 2017 Convention. More details on the Convention measures can be found on page 38 in the official Convention Call.

Randy DeFrehn, Executive Director of National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans, followed Revard and discussed lobbying for benefits, pension and training trust funds. He also fielded assorted questions about our pension structure from multiple members. Continued on page 9.

Robert Schwartz from Helmets to Hardhats was the last speaker on the first day. He stressed the value that Helmets to Hardhats has added over the last 13 years.

Advancements made in various states, such as California, have seen supporting language for Helmets to Hardhats being written into recent Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). General President McCourt followed the presentation with praise for the program and words of encouragement to the officers to make sure Locals to engage and interact with Helmets to Hardhats.

The group returned early for a second day of business, which started with Nikki Budzinski, the Labor Outreach Coordinator with the Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign. Clinton has the support and endorsements from 13 Construction Trades and has been supported by thousands of union members on the campaign trail.

Clinton’s Energy Efficiency Plan includes language that strongly supports mechanical insulation. Her plan would help create “good paying jobs for Insulators and

for building trades,” Budzinski said.

Budzinski also stressed the importance of not only the Presidential election, but the need to take control of the U.S. Senate in order to make “a foundation to keep building.”

The day went with presentations by Rich Berger (Segal Co.) and Chuck Gilligan, legal counsel for the Insulators pension fund. While the AWLU plan is 100 percent funded, other important details about the plan, and IRS compliance were covered, as well as various questions from the audience.

Insulators’ Tissue Bank Director Professor Andy Todd began his presentation with his yearly status report on the number of Tissue Bank participants, including family members, which has reached 2,300. Efforts to increase participation in the Tissue Bank were not only discussed by Todd, but reinforced by General President McCourt and other notable speakers. Continued on page 10.

Throughout the three-day conference, the health and welfare of the Brothers and Sisters of the HFIAW and their families was repeatedly addressed. The benefits of the Low Dose CT scans came up again and again as a vital step for keeping our members aware of their health status.

This included Dr. Steven Markowitz who informed the officers about certain advancements that have been made in Mesothelioma treatments. He also explained and discussed asbestos-related pleural plaques and the high need to pay attention to signs of problems. One of the worst things that can happen is to ignore or delay your actions, he stressed.

The health and wellness theme continued with Dr. Eric Hart, who along with three Grogan Fellow students, analyzed 518 screenings that were done in Chicago with HFIAW Local 17. Hart explained the various conditions uncovered in the screenings and touched on the need for action and the need for all members to pay attention to their health and the health of their potentially exposed family members.

“We want you to have information to live a longer and healthier life,” Hart said.

Subsequent speakers included Terry Johnson, a trial

lawyer in Chicago, who addressed the audience about asbestos litigation and the legal actions that can be taken, and Mike Noonan, formerly with the AFL-CIO, who discussed the NABTU program emPOWERme.

Director of Government Affairs Chip Gardiner took the stage next. He discussed the legislative initiatives at the federal level. Both the Mechanical Insulation Incentive and Mesothelioma bills are moving forward, but slowly. He also discussed positive efforts to more effectively leverage the political power of the HFIAW.

Tom Haun, the Apprentice and Training Fund Administrator, followed Gardiner with a presentation on a new union-wide recruitment campaign. Joined by members from BMA Media Group, the various elements of the campaign – including career fair materials, videos and expanded website content – were explained. The IIIATF hopes to provide the assets to help all Locals identify more and better apprentice candidates and ultimately grow the Insulators workforce.

The last presentation of Day 2 was Mike d’Oliveria from United Sportsman’s Alliance, who raffled off a gun from USA. He continued to explain USA’s mission as a conservation group with more than 250,000 members, Continued on page 11.

including a significant number of Insulators. John Hanson, Business Manager, Local 64 in Tulsa, Oklahoma won the USA gun raffle.

The last day began with General President McCourt addressing the need for travelers in many Locals. Mechanical Insulation is a growing industry and the HFIAW is ready to have the union grow with the industry demand.

Alex Rexroat addressed the audience about the LMCT and iSave programs. Beginning almost 10 years ago, the development of a contractor association has provided a valuable service to both the members of the HFIAW and its signatory contractors.

Rexroat detailed many of the programs, both in place and planned in the coming year, intended to help grow the industry and the HFIAW in the future.

Robin MacLachlan and Kate Harrison from Summa Strategies in Canada gave the audience an update on the developments in Canadian politics in the months since the election of a new Prime Minister. Since Justin Trudeau took office, many changes have occurred within Canadian politics, including many that favor green and environmental developments – which, in turn, can benefit the Insulators.

summaries of disputes and grievances that have recently been filed. He also reminded the officers about the importance that supporting documentation be submitted with all matters coming to his office.

Haun returned to the stage on Day 3 to highlight the benefits and efficiencies of the online Timecards and related details from the Locals that are starting to use it. This, along with other features on the International Union Hall website, are services for the members to use and keep up-to-date.

Haun also recognized that there are 58 new Local Union Officers that have been asked to attend the new Officers Training in September.

General President McCourt brought the business to a close with a quick rehash of the various topics covered during the three-day event. This included a message he asked officers to take back to their Locals, related to the November Election.

“We have to get Senator Hilary Clinton elected” he proclaimed. “We have been here for 113 years and it’s our job to make sure we are here for 113 more!”

The conference ended with the announcement from General President McCourt releasing the location for the 31st Quinquennial Convention. The Convention will be held in Boston, from Aug. 21-23, 2017.

Three men from dramatically different backgrounds who have been working tirelessly on behalf of the HFIAW for a number years were all honored during the 2016 Local Union Officers Conference. On Day 1 of the conference, General President James P. McCourt called Director of Government Affairs Chip Gardiner, Insulators’ Tissue Bank Director Andy Todd and LMCT Executive Director Alex Rexroat to the stage.

The three familiar faces were presented with honorary membership and Union Cards, an indication that McCourt said made them, “part of our family.”

It was during the crowds standing ovation that Gardiner stated, “I am profoundly humbled and honored.” Rexroat followed Gardiner, proclaiming he was “blown away” with this action.

“I cannot tell you how proud I am. Thank you,” he said.

With slight humor and all sincerity, Todd told the crowd he had never been given anything in his life, but having a union card from the Insulators, “means more than you could ever know.”

During subsequent opportunities to address the conference, each of the honorees opened their statements by reciting their card numbers and again thanking those in attendance for the kind gesture.

During the 2016 Annual Local Union Officers Conference, names were randomly selected in the 26th Annual Florence Bernard and Alta Miller Scholarship Drawing.

The selection format changed this year so all scholarship entries from all conferences were mixed into one collection basket. As the basket turned, the wives of HFIAW International Vice Presidents, Administrators and elected positions were called upon to pull the winning names.

As the names were drawn, General Secretary-Treasurer Greg Revard noted their order and General President James P. McCourt announced the names. The room was filled with pride as representatives for the candidates cheered when their Local was called.

Individuals eligible to receive one of the $5,000 scholarships can be members of the HFIAW, their spouses or children. All of the scholarships are given to applicants that are enrolled in an accredited college, community college or trade or technical school for the 2016-2017 school year.

There were also two scholarships given to students who qualify as special needs. These students are either mentally challenged or physically challenged children, but are still furthering their education.

The Scholarship program goes back to 1990, when a special dinner was held to honor the late General President Emeritus William G. Bernard. The funds raised by the attendees that night created the scholarship fund.

Since 2007, The Florence Bernard and Alta Miller Scholarship Fund has been supported by the HFIAW general membership. One-half of one cent is contributed per worked hour, which is enough to perpetuate the scholarship fund.

JATC CONFERENCE

At the end of June, apprentice program coordinators and training instructors from more than 30 different Locals were joined by International officers and others involved with training Mechanical Insulators for the 41st Annual Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee Conference, held this year in Toledo, Ohio.

The Training Conference started with opening remarks delivered by Gavin Dailey, Training Director from the host Local, followed by additional comments from IIIATF Administrator Tom Haun and General President James McCourt.

The annual conference is held in conjunction with the Master Apprentice Competition. It brings together training experts from across the U.S. and Canada to share techniques and advancements in various aspects of the industry. Materials used during presentations are shared with anyone interested in an effort to collectively grow and improve teaching methods.

Professor Andy Todd spoke about the Tissue Bank and the CT Scans/Results that have been filed with the HFIAW.

There are only a handful of Locals that have 10 percent participation from their members. He encouraged all attendees to have their apprentices and members complete the Tissue Bank forms and forward them to him.

Bill Hodges, Local 16, San Francisco and Tony

Magallanes, Local 5, Los Angeles spoke about Globally Harmonized System (GHS) while Bob McGuckin from Local 17, Chicago and Denise Almante from Safety First gave a hands-on Lift Training session to end the day’s activities.

Thursday started with Mark McDermott giving a dynamic, pro-labor speech to a captivated audience.

He was followed by James Gallagher and Brian Sullivan from Local 3, Cleveland who discussed Infection Control Risk Assessment and Firestopping. Sullivan described how his Local has positioned itself within the community to be the primary and most knowledgeable authority on Firestopping in the area. This resulted in hundreds of man hours and millions of dollars for his members.

Prior to the mid-day break, the IIIATF Recruitment officially launched a new recruitment campaign. This campaign includes dynamic videos, new and updated content and pages on the Insulators.org website and an entire Career Day kit that every local will be receiving. All of these assets will work together to help Locals gain apprentices.

The day finished with John Stahl from Local 14 in Philadelphia overviewing the iPad technologies and how it can aid Insulator Trainers in their teaching. Continued on page 17.

The access and availability that technology brings to the trade is a strength that will be utilized more in the future.

The final day of the conference started with Brian Cavey from Local 24, Baltimore/Washington discussing Mold and Confined Spaces. Confined spaces come with critical and heightened risks due to the enclosed locations. All precautions need to be taken every time members work in these spaces to maintain the highest level of safety.

The trainers also had the pleasure of hearing from Brother Dan Smith, Local 92, Savannah on Metal Layout Updates and from Sean Craven, Local 17, Chicago, on Blueprint Curriculums.

Todd Conn and Sam Follis from Local 18 presented their recruitment table set-up, which shows an insulated light box. A thermometer sticking out the top, shows how the light creates heat, but with proper insulation, you can feel the heat doesn’t penetrate to the outside of the box.

They also mocked up a pipe with water flowing through it to show condensation forming on the outside to demonstrate how covering the pipe with insulation solves the problem.

Tom Haun followed those informational presentations by holding an open session where he surveyed the reactions from the trainers. With overall positive feedback, this conference continued to be informational, valuable and beneficial for all of the Trainers who attended.

The conference concluded with Adam Melnick from Local 95 previewing the 2017 conference. Next year, it will be held at the Hilton in downtown Toronto, Canada.

The conference will begin on Tuesday, June 27 and will conclude on July 1 which coincides with Canada’s 150th birthday. His presentation served as a reminder

that Trainers and potential MAC competitors need to obtain and have valid passports to travel to Canada.

The IIIATF thanks Local 45, Conference Host, and Coordinator Gavin Dailey, as well as the Steering Committee and the MAC Proctors for all of their hard work making this event a success.

Members of the steering committee include: Committee Chairman Tom Haun, IIIATF Administrator; Terry Walsh, Local 1; Tony Magallanes, Local 5; Rick “Dude” Rothwell, Local 6; Doug Steinmetzer, Local 7; Dave Soika, Local 12; John Stahl, Local 14; Bill Hodges, Local 16; Bob McGuckin, Local 17; Sam Follis, Local 18; Todd Conn, Local 18; Peter Deimler, Local 23; Brian Cavey, Local 24; Steve Ielmini, Local 32; Eric Houske, Local 34; Ron Eades, Local 37; Gavin Dailey, Local 45; Shane Hammock, Local 86; Adam Melnick, Local 95; Dan Annett, Local 110; Lew Fitzgerald; Local 14; John Sullivan, Local 14 and Jim Petrides, Irex Contracting Group.

The MAC Proctors were Lew Fitzgerald and John Sullivan, both from Local 14.

Two longtime Apprentice Coordinators with a combined 71 years of service to the Mechanical Insulation have indicated they intend to retire as Coordinators this year, which made them both worthy recipients of the 2016 W.F “Pablo” Bleiker Award.

Dave Soika, Local 12 – New York and Sam Follis, Local 18 – Indianapolis were named co-winners of The Pablo Bleiker Award during the 41st Annual Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee Conference in Toledo, Ohio. This marks only the second time two HFIAW members received the award in the same year, since its inception in 2002.

General President James McCourt and Insulation Industry International Apprentice Training Fund (IIIATF) Administrator Tom Haun announced the winners on June 29, the first day of the conference.

The award was named after the late Local 118 Vancouver Apprentice Coordinator W. F. “Pablo” Bleiker. The “teapot” design depicted on the award is a replica of the mechanics test he required all apprentices to complete before finishing their apprenticeship. The award is inscribed with a famous quote from Bleiker, “Order is the way to success; nothing is given to us; success demands work, perseverance and honesty.”

Soika was gracious in accepting the award.

“I have been doing my best to help the Apprentices gain industry knowledge and understanding,” Soika said.

He comes from Local 12, where he started his journey in 1971. Over the last 30 years, he has been active in his Local and with the apprentice training.

Soika is retiring after 45 years of industry service.

This award hits close to home with Soika because he knew Bleiker. Soika said “this award deserves to go to everyone, to all of the Trainers. We are just doing our job.” Follis was in shock to see that he was also a recipient of this prestigious award. Follis and Soika humbled and proud, congratulated each other.

The respect and admiration Follis and Soika have earned from their peers was evident Continued on page 19.

JATC CONFERENCE

‘Insulator Ladies’ give back to host community While dozens of HFIAW Training Directors fill their days learning about new equipment and materials, in-dustry and safety standards and the latest technology, a growing group of their spouses have been spending part of their time during the annual Training Conference giv-ing back to the communities that host the conference.

The group began to take shape back in 2012. As they spent free time together in the various cities that host the annual Training Conference, acquaintances became friends. Over time, the group started to call themselves the “In-sulator Ladies.”

Besides planning day trips and outings, an idea began to take shape that the group should spend some of their time giving back. That first year, they decided to donate items to a men’s homeless shelter.

The idea and group’s effort grew and evolved from that first year, and in 2015, the Insulator Ladies decided to work with a local charity in the host city of Seattle.

There, the Insulator Ladies worked with Treehouse, a foster home for children in the Seattle area. The group held fundraisers, and was able to provide Treehouse with a check for more than $1,900.

This year, the efforts further evolved to include a 50/50 raffle, a gift basket drawing and a collection jar during their extra-curricular activities in Toledo.

The Insulator Ladies selected charity was Beach House, a family shelter where struggling single women and their families can go to receive assistance and regain indepen-dence. The charity has been helping the Toledo commu-nity since 1921.

The 50-50 raffle was held during a ferry boat trip from Toledo to the nearby island of Put-in-Bay. With a captive group on the ferry, the raffle went well and generous amounts of money were raised for the raffle. When the winning ticket was pulled, Stacey Edmonds from HFIAW Local 110 in Alberta, Canada, turned down his half of the $1,300 total prize and all of the money was donated to Beach House.

The 2016 fundraising efforts continued with tickets to win more than 30 gift baskets during the events awards dinner. The items in the baskets were donated and col-lected by the Insulator Ladies.

Once the raffle collections were added to the previous fundraising, the Insulator Ladies were honored to present a check to Beach House for over $3,000.

The Insulator Ladies have already started making plans for 2017, when the event will in held in Toronto. While the designated charity has yet to be announced, preparations are already underway to exceed this year’s efforts.

JATC CONFERENCE

IIIATF launches union-wide recruitment campaign During the annual Training Conference held this June in Toledo, the IIIATF launched a comprehensive Recruitment Campaign, intended to help all Locals recruit and retain more apprentice insulators.

The campaign includes updated and expanded content on the International’s website, eight targeted videos and an entire kit of materials for use at career days and other recruitment events.

The website component included building out the entire Careers tab on the Insualtors.org site. The updates incorporate the videos, new and updated content, as well as customized pages for every Local JATC and targeted actions to attract more potential apprentices to apply.

All of the pages are linked and work together to create an ideal path for apprentice candidates to gain more interest, and eventually provide contact information. The suite of videos targets both potential apprentices as well as the people that influence students’ career decisions. Three videos were created in a “Question and Answer” style to give candidates a look into an Insulator’s career.

There is also a preview video and a Career Day video. Both are shorter in length and meant to be the introduction to a career with the HFIAW. The last and most in-depth video follows a few apprentices around for insights into what a real Day in The Life of a Mechanical Insulator really entails. All of the videos can be found on the Insulators YouTube channel, YouTube.com/InsulatorsUnion. These videos are designed for use by individual Locals. They can be embedded on Local websites, shown to classes or during training center tours or shared via targeted email campaigns. The career day kit comes with two versions of stand-up banners standing more than 6-feet tall. The first follows the recruitment theme to garner interest from potential apprentices.

The second banner is customized for each Local JATC. Individual features include highlighting the Charter City/concentrated area and the Local’s address, phone number, email and (if applicable) website.

The kit also comes with two types of brochures. One to target the students who are interested in becoming apprentices and the other for influencers (guidance counselors, teachers, parents or guardians) to provide to students who might consider an apprenticeship as a viable alternative to college.

Each JATC will also receive two table covers, one for a 6-foot table and one for an 8-foot table. Also included are posters. These posters can be hung up on career boards, in guidance counselor offices and around schools.

Each Local will also receive a flashdrive with all of the video content. This makes it easy to plug into a TV monitor and play the videos when attending career fairs, showing them during training center tours or playing on a loop at the Local’s facility.

All of the print pieces have QR codes. These are the black and white squares with specific dot locations. These codes are able to be scanned from smartphones and will take the user to one of the newly created web pages.

“When applicants see and scan the QR Code, they are into it! They watch a video and are back at the table with questions. It has been a great upgrade to our recruiting,” said Doug Steinmetzer, Training Director of Local 7 in Seattle.

All of the pieces to this Recruitment Campaign are meant to work together. While they work well on their own, they are more effective together. And they are all working towards one goal: To attract and retain more Insulator apprentices.

MASTER APPRENTICE CONTEST

Local 46 apprentice wins MAC, honors former training director The HFIAW Master Apprentice Competition (MAC) seems to grow in popularity and excitement every year. The annual competition, where 10 apprentices compete as Conference representatives to be crowned the “Best of the Best” included an emotional finish this year in Toledo, Ohio.

Held in conjunction with the 41st annual Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee Conference, the top HFIAW apprentice competitors arrived having already won at the Local and Conference levels.

“Our training is what sets our profession apart, it is what makes us the best,” HFIAW General President James McCourt said during the MAC.

This year’s competitors were challenged by yet another one-of-a-kind mock up, which included the number 45 in copper piping (to honor the host Local HFIAW Local 45), a large T (for Toledo) that was connected to numerous 90’s and sweeps.

The MAC included both a written test and the individual insulation project, which had a unique set of specifications for the installation of many insulating materials. The mock-ups were judged once after the rough-in work and again upon completion. The combined mock-up scores added to the results from the written test, determined the winner, who was announced on July 1 at the Awards Dinner.

There was a great deal of emotion in the room when Branden Price was announced as the 2016 winner. Price comes from Local 46 in Knoxville, Tenn., part of

the Central States Conference.

He competed in both his Local competition and in the Central States Conference competition under the guidance of his Apprentice Coordinator, Jermaine Ray. Just 15 days before the MAC, Ray, 41, died in a motorcycle accident in Knoxville. Ray was part of Local 46 for the past 23 years and for 15 years was an elected member of the Executive Board and the JATC Apprentice Coordinator.

Ray’s picture was at the table during the Awards Dinner where Price sat with his wife and young son. Continued on page 23.

“I don’t know how to describe winning the MAC. It is an honor, a great honor, to both compete and to win,” said Price. “I was really excited about competing and winning the Central States Competition, I never thought I would win the MAC.”

“It was an honor to meet and compete against the other competitors. We are the ten best.” Price went on to say,

“I am trying to keep in touch with them, they are all great guys.”

Price was taught in his second and third year as an apprentice by his father, Joel Price, a Local 46 Training Instructor. Branden is a 3rd generation Insulator with extended family, including his father, grandfather and many cousins.

“Jermaine Ray was a great man. He was very involved with the Local and was instrumental in teaching the instructors,” said Price.

Besides Price, the other apprentices on hand for the 14th annual Master Apprentice Competition were: Adam Stooksberry, Local 78, Birmingham, Alabama; Jacob Rainey, Local 23, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Hugo Aguirre, Local 94, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Erik Peterson, Local 95, Toronto, Canada; Jake Klanac, Local 12, New York City, New York; Todd Javorski, Local 17, Chicago, Illinois; Alejandro Celedon, Local 5, Los Angles, California; Roderick Alberton, Local 119 Regina, Saskatchewan; Anthony Schauer, Local 133, Fargo, North Dakota.

Jermaine Ray, Local 46 Training Director, dies Jermaine Ray, Training Director and exceptional mem-ber of HFIAW Local 46 in Knoxville, Tenn., died on June 9, 2016, following a motorcycle accident.

Accepted into the Apprenticeship Program in 1996, Ray went on to work as a Journeyman for a few years, before he was elected as the JAC Coordinator in June 2010. He also served on the Local 46 Executive Board in 2011, and was active with the Local’s Organizing Committee.

Ray had a passion and dedication to training Local 46 apprentices. He trained two apprentices that competed and won the Central State Apprenticeship Competitions, both moving on to compete in the Master Apprentice Competition (MAC).

“He has molded so many young a pprentices into out-standing journey-men,” stated Charlie Woody, Local 46 Business Manager.

One of them, Brandon Price, competed in the 2016 MAC and won the international title. “Jermaine was a real good guy.” detailed Price as he accounted the involvement and dedication that Ray had to Local 46.

“Those of us in Apprenticeship and Training have lost a great man. He was a young and upcoming shining star in our Organization. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family. He will be sorely missed,” said Tom Haun, IIIATF Administrator. Ray was well respected and loved by all apprentices and journeymen, said Woody, who added, “Jermaine was one of my very best friends and I am a better man because of our friendship.”

He was able to travel during his career and always left a great impression of himself and Local 46 no matter where he went. He was always smiling and able to help out his fellow members in their time of need.

Ray was always active in Local 46 organizing and

participating in many campaigns. He spent his personal time being involved with political campaigns, going door-to-door, carrying signs and even driving people to the polls if they needed a ride.

Jermaine Ray made a lasting impression on the Insu-lators and he will be greatly missed.

Insulators sponsor Building Trades Academy course Working with the Building Trades Academy (BTA) and Michigan State University, the Heat and Frost Insula-tors and Allied Workers International Organizing Depart-ment recently sponsored a successful training session at Local 135’s Training Center in Las Vegas.

The inaugural BTA 101 Training Class was the first to be held at the Western United States Campus. This three-day class was the first of six courses in the program where 17 new HFIAW Local Organizers attended.

The Insulators were well represented in the class with Local Organizers from both the United States and Cana-da. Additional participants in the BTA 101 course came from the IUPAT, IBEW, UA, Bricklayers and Tile Setters.

The HFIAW International Organizing Department was proud to sponsor this training course.

“Union Organizers are faced with an extremely dif-ficult task on a daily basis. These courses will help to educate our Local Organizers, and ultimately grow our membership and contractor base,” said Thomas Williams, International Organizer for the Central States Conference.

Williams, along with New York-New England Inter-national Organizer, Scott Curry, were able to participate in the teaching aspect of this course. Their contribution as co-instructors, along with Building Trades Academy Professor Glenn Perusek, were instrumental and will be even more effective as the training course grows.

“We are in an uphill fight to maintain and expand market share in the construction industry,” said Perusek,

who coordinated the August course in Las Vegas. “The Insulators’ organizers consistently demonstrate that they have the dedication we will need to be able to accomplish this task.”

The training offered valuable tools to help our Local Organizers operate effectively. The in-class exercises were instrumental in exposing the participants to the chal-lenges they will face when conducting Organizing Cam-paigns. Two of the favorite examples included a group of participants presenting about a multi-faceted special-in-terest organizing campaign, and a house call roll play that was conducted in Spanish.

Our sponsorship of BTA courses will continue. The next installment (Course 102) is scheduled for December. Perusek said he is looking forward to the next installment in the sequence, which includes an intensive course on interpersonal communication.

“Insulators Organizers will get a crash course in deal-ing with contractors, public officials and the media,” he said. “These folks aren’t always our friends, obviously. We need organizers to be able to deal with any eventual-ity. That’s what the course prepares them for.” Two more courses are scheduled in the first and third quarters of 2017.

Paul Stonebraker, longtime IIIATF Employer Trustee, Retires

Paul “Stoney” Stonebraker started his career in 1959 as an Approver; the pre-apprenticeship stage where Stonebraker was a helper for two years. In 1961, he began his Apprenticeship with HFIAW Local 24 Washington D.C., and two years later became a Journeyman.

Even as he was going through the training process, Stonebraker saw several opportunities where better organization could benefit his Local. He quickly moved up the ranks and in 1968 became a Superintendent and part of his Local’s JATC program.

Since those early days, Stonebraker spent the past 37 years as an Employer Trustee, where he was a tremendous asset to the Insulation Industry International Apprentice and Training Fund Board of Trustees.

He recently announced his intent to retire, ending a career of more than 56 years in the industry. Looking back to his early days, Stonebraker said joining the Insulators is what gave him a future.

“Being an Insulator gave me a chance to earn a living for my family,” he said.

He always had his sights set on greater challenges and a bigger opportunity.

“I have the chance to help the industry through ap-prentice education and help further the union movement.”

In 1978, after being repeatedly asked, Stonebraker agreed to be a part of the National Committee.

Stonebraker knew he could influence a significant number of people within his union with his big picture ideas for organizing and streamlining standards for training. He found substantial unity and consideration among his Brothers and Sisters in the trade.

“More often than not, people who take their own time to work towards improving our industry move up to positions of higher authority, such as Business Manager or Executive Committee, where they again are sitting across the table from each other but with a greater understanding of and respect for each other,” said Stonebraker.

In 1980, Stonebreaker held the first regional apprentice training event in Washington, D.C. Together as a group, Insulators were able to establish training manuals that began to institute similar standards to be taught to all apprentices. Continued on page 29.

And such efforts have continued to grow across the U.S. and Canada for the HFIAW. In the last 10 to 15 years, Stonebreaker said he’s been amazed at the advancements and great strides that have been made in the apprentice standards – work he found to be “extremely gratifying.”

Though he has retired, Stonebreaker is not taking much time to relax. He is keeping busy, getting involved and staying active in his community.

Paul Stonebreaker was awarded the W.F. “Pablo” Bleiker Award in 2007.

Kentucky survey work illustrates market share growth In 2009, the HFIAW completed a survey of 52 counties in the central Kentucky area that indicated the union handled about 15 percent of the area’s commercial mechanical insulation work.

A survey of the same area completed this year found that the work has tripled for our union Insulators, as well as an increase in signatory contractors and union insulators. The survey was completed by the four Organizers in the Kentucky area, where Locals 8, 46, 51 and 80 have shared jurisdiction. Besides the area Organizers, the survey team asked Locals 41, 75, 84 and NYNE Conference Organizer Scott Curry to assist.

The team visited more than 300 construction sites. Their site evaluations documented both who the contactor was on each project and if the workers were union or non-union. Thomas Williams, Organizer for the Central States Conference, said all the credit for this continued success goes to Local 8, Local 46, Local 51 and Local 80. “These four Local Unions have been working together for the past seven years, to recapture the mechanical insulation and firestop work in an area that was lost decades ago.” said Williams.

“They have been instrumental in continuing to work and organize the campaign, supply manpower and move the initiative forward,” he said.

The group of men that completed the survey were joined by organizers who are new to the position from surrounding Locals. By exposing the new Organizers how to execute campaigns and teamwork, Williams and Curry said they hope to foster additional multi-Local opportunities.

The Organizers who participated in the Kentucky market survey are pictured from left to right: Damon Worbel, Organizer Local 84; Kevin Anspach, Organizer Local 41; Michael Winter, Organizer Local 51; Andrew Reginer, Organizer Local 75; Terry Burke, Organizer Local 8; JJ Walker, Organizer Local 46; JT Humphreys, Organizer Local 80.

Campaign helps secure school work for Local 50 For the last two years, HFI-AW Local 50 in Columbus, Ohio has been on an aggressive cam-paign to secure school construc-tion and renovation work in its jurisdiction.

The efforts included execut-ing a unique marketing campaign that highlighted the benefits and assets school districts can expect if proper mechanical insulation is installed by a highly-skilled workforce.

The campaign included a video describing the benefits me-chanical insulation can bring to a school district and its buildings, as well as more than 100 pages of supporting

documents that detailed information on mechanical insulation. Continued on page 31.

Illinois House Speaker Madigan attends event hosted by Local 17 Chicago HFIAW Local 17 in Chicago hosted a successful event in Sep-tember that included positive conversations with Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan.

Speaker Madigan has been a powerful member of the Illinois Statehouse for the last 30 years, he has strongly and publicly opposed and acted against the “Union Busting” political figures in the state.

Representatives from every HFIAW Local Union that has any jurisdiction in Illinois was in attendance. Those Locals include: 1, 17, 18, 19, 37 and 81.

HFIAW International Vice Presidents Patrick Barron and Mark Selby were also in attendance, along with Insulators’ Director of Government Affairs Chip Gardiner

and Terry Lynch, HFIAW International Vice President- at-Large.

Additional political representatives that attended the event included Democratic Candidate for Illinois State Controller, Susana Mendoza and Political Consultant Haleigh Hoff. Hoff has a rich lineage with the Insulators, including her father, who is a member of Local 80, and significant contracting work her grandfather, Bud Turner organized.

Joint campaign and new NLRB rule aided Thermico, Inc. organizing effort The HFIAW was able to successfully organize a group of employees at Thermico Inc., thanks in part to a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that allowed for an expedited election process.

The NLRB ruling went into effect on April 14, 2015. Organizing employees at Thermico Inc. was the first time HFIAW Organizers were able to take advantage of the new expedited election process.

Thermico, Inc. is a company that was started in 1975 creating custom products for the insulation industry, with office locations in Midland and Kalamazoo, MI.

Since not all of the employees at Thermico Inc. were in the HFIAW scope of work, a group of 26 Insulators were identified as the appropriate bargaining unit.

In prepared statements released in April 2015, the NLRB said it approved the new rule based on the belief that the changes would enable the agency to more effec-tively oversee elections, allowing the use of updated technology, while also making its procedures more transparent and uniform across regions, and eliminating unnecessary litigation and delay.

“With these amendments, the Board will be better able to fulfill its duty to protect employees’ rights by fairly, efficiently and

expeditiously resolving questions of representation,” the NLRB said in the same prepared statement.

By working closely in a joint campaign with Local 46, Local 47 won the election at Thermico, Inc. with an overwhelming majority of the 26 employees in the bar-gaining unit voting YES for unionization. Due to the new accelerated election procedure, the time from filing the petition with the NLRB to the time of the actual vote was a mere three weeks. This is an enormous improve-ment over the previous procedure, which often took several months to complete. Though the election process itself was relatively quick, Locals 46 and 47 put in five months of hard work to achieve this victory. Local 47 is currently negotiating with Thermico, Inc. to reach a signed agreement.

The organizing effort at Thermico, Inc. was a joint cam-paign by Locals from both Michigan and Tennessee, along with Patrick Welch, former Organizer and current Business Manager of Local 47 and Organizer JJ Walker and Business Manager Charlie Woody from Local 46.

The video and materials were distributed to key decision makers for the Groveport-Madison School Dis-trict during a presentation made at a construction proj-ect design team meeting. The architectural firm hired to design the new high school was also on hand.

Local 50 was recently informed that mechanical insulation will be included in the construction project. Pederson Insulation, a signatory contractor with Local 50since 1963, was awarded the work.

The contract includes language that the mechanical insulation must be installed by workers that have com-pleted a 4-year apprenticeship program.

The success with the Groveport project has helped Local 50 leaders more aggressively seek work on other area school construction projects.

The Johnstown-Monroe School District, located north-east of Columbus, is preparing to award contracts for a new elementary school. The $16.36 million project was approved in February by the board, with the school expected to be open and functioning for the 2017-2018 school year.

With a comprehensive mechanical insulation market-ing campaign ready for use, Local 50 will be pushing to ensure that the Johnstown-Monroe School District offi-cials are aware of the safety and financial benefits that come with properly installed mechanical insulation.

Locals 23, 24 and 42 commit to safety Violating Occupational Safety and Health Administra-tion (OSHA) rules is a serious matter. It puts both the health of the worker and the health of those surrounding workers at risk.

HFIAW Locals 23, 24 and 42 gathered together re-cently to make sure the public was aware that First Cap-ital Insulation Inc., of York, Pa., has violated multiple OSHA rules.

Members and Organizers from the three Locals made their presence known in the Hudson and North Sherman streets in the City of York to protest the work being done by First Capital Insulation.

“We’re here to make people aware of unsafe prac-tices,” Local 23 member Scott Myers said.

In addition to violations from OSHA, the company was also cited by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maryland Department of Environment. The most recent citations and fines came in April 2015, for $490,000 for accumulated safety infractions found at a residential work site in Harrisburg, Pa.

The fines included failure to provide the proper testing, monitoring and adherence to requirements for asbestos mitigation. Inadequate respirator equipment was being used by employees, putting their health at risk due to ill-fitting facial equipment. The company

was also cited for not properly wetting and/or bagging the asbestos during removal.

Local 23 Organizer, Thomas Smith, said none of First Capital’s current employees are union members, but at least one past employee is now with the union. This pre-vious employee is how the HFIAW Locals became involved with the protesting.

“We’d like them to do their work right,” Smith went on to say. The goal of working in these dangerous condi-tions is to follow all safety steps needed, this can be done if companies “stop getting violations.”

Thank You from Local 110 after wildfire devastation The Thank You letter (right) is the second letter that Local 110 Business Manager Kevin Lecht of Edmonton, Alberta wrote in the last few months. The first one was to his members where he described the situation around the wildfires spreading through Fort McMurray the morning of May 4. The second one, a thank you to everyone who has been supporting Local 110 as they recover.

Devastating wildfires destroyed nearly 850 square km (328 square miles) in Alberta, Canada. The region had to evacuate 100,000 residents from their homes including many of the Brothers, Sisters and family members of Local 110.

“The effects of the fire are certainly overwhelming, but we must remember that ‘things’ can be replaced. The lives of our families, our Local 110 family and our friends are more important and must take precedence,” Lecht said in his first letter. “With fires still burning, it is a very real possibility that things may get worse before they get better. We need to stand together and rise above whatever challenges we face.”

More than 120 checks totaling over $180,000 from the Insulators Disaster Relief Fund were cut for Local 110 members who were affected by the Fort McMurray wildfires.

While recovery will take years to obtain, the members of Local 110 are grateful for all of the support they are receiving from the HFIAW family.

respect promote the rights of workers to justice, dignity and in the workplace.

Edwin Recinos and Mike Moneymaker from Local 24 were joined by representatives from other building trades Locals to make up the CHOICE Organizing Committee.

The group recently learned the CHOICE Organizing Committee will be receiving an award from the group, DC Jobs with Justice.

DC Jobs with Justice is an organization aligned with the national Jobs with Justice organization. Both groups work to create a strong, living-wage workforce by inclusion of low-wage workers, immigrants, people of color, women, youth and seniors. The goal is achieved by running campaigns to increase the amount of livable wage jobs available to residences and families in the Washington D.C. area.

The CHOICE Organizing Committee has been conducting numerous community organizing campaigns, which are beginning to have an impact in the northern Virginia, Maryland and DC markets.

With the booming construction market in the District of Columbia and northern Virginia area, several employers were found to be violating worker rights. The CHOICE Organizing Committee has been working to help enforce the “DC Wage Theft Act” with other community partners. They have also been working with other community organizations to reach out and educate workers in the city about the law.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE GENERAL EXECUTIVE BOARD

Diplomat Resort and SpaHollywood, FLJuly 27-29, 2016

The summer meeting of the General Executive Board was called to order at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday July 27, 2016 at the Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood, FL.

The following Officers, Representatives and Guests were in attendance: General President James P. McCourt, General Secretary-Treasurer Gregory T. Revard, International Vice Presidents William Mahoney, Kenneth Schneider, Fred DeMartino, Terry Lynch, Terry Larkin, Fred Clare, Mark Selby, and Pat Barron. International Vice Presidents Emeritus: Gary Fujawa, Andre Chartrand, and Tony Ceraldi. International Representative Rob Hall, International Apprenticeship Director Tom Haun, International Director of Organizing Todd Dunnahoe, Director of Government Affairs Chip Gardiner, and Director of Insulators Tissue Bank Professor Andy Todd.

General President James P. McCourt welcomed all the Vice Presidents, Representatives, and guests. He then reviewed the agenda for the week. The General Executive Board will meet every day with the meetings starting at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday - reports on the Trusteeships of Local 32 Newark, NJ and Local 127 Appleton, WI. Review of the AWLU and Staff Pension Plans, Improver Classification, and Electronic recordings of meeting minutes.

Thursday agenda - Trials and Appeals, LM2 Reports and Audits, Financial Assets/Variation Reports. Report of Greg Revard GST, Andy Todd Director of Insulators Tissue Bank, Todd Dunnahoe Director of Organizing, Chip Gardiner Director of Government Affairs, Tom Haun International Apprenticeship Director. Presentation from BMA Media on Digital Marketing Proposal for 2016-2017.

Friday agenda - IAHIAW and NUICA Labor Management Meeting, LMCT Board of Trustees Meeting.

General President James P. McCourt began by addressing the Board on the following issues. There have been locals that have adopted the practice of using “Permit Workers” in lieu of bringing workers into the union as Journeyman, Apprentices or Improver members as outlined in our International Constitution and Bylaws. This unscrupulous practice not only denies the workers right to become a union member but also potentially trains employees to work against our best interest when work slows down. The Board acknowledged that there is a growing need for our International Union to expand its

workforce but it must be accomplished by the use of members that are represented and trained by our International local unions. After a lengthy discussion the Board unanimously voted that this practice must end and if locals need additional workers and Apprentices are not available then they can be given membership as an “Improver” classification.

President McCourt also reported that there have been local unions that have asked for clarification on members who wanted to electronically record the minutes of the local union meetings. After much discussion by the Board a motion was made, seconded and unanimously passed to amend the International Constitution and Bylaws to read as follows:

Resolution of the General Executive Board Recording Local Union Meetings

WHEREAS, Article XIX. Section 19 requires all local unions to hold regular monthly membership meetings to transact union business; and WHEREAS, free and open discussion is an essential part of a local union’s democratic decision making; and

WHEREAS, those attending the local union meetings should be free to express their opinions openly, without concern that they or their statements will be surreptitiously recorded and that such recordings will be provided to persons or entities outside the local union; and

WHEREAS, a video or audio recording of a local union meeting could be obtained by employers or persons or entities whose interests were adverse to those of the local union; and

WHEREAS, that possibility would inhibit debate and potentially harm the local; and

WHEREAS, the General Executive Board has received reports that individuals with recording devices have attempted to make audio or video recordings of local union meetings; and

WHEREAS, the Local Union Recording Secretary has the sole responsibility of keeping the minutes of a local union meeting and those minutes – which can be corrected by a vote of the local union membership – are the only official record of a local union meeting; and

WHEREAS, video and audio recordings can be edited

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HEAT AND FROST INSULATORS AND ALLIED WORKERS FALL 2016 37

to create a false record of what transpired at a local union meeting; and

WHEREAS, Article X, Section 7 of the Constitution and Bylaws authorizes the General Executive Board to amend the Constitution and Bylaws when in the Board’s judgment such action would be in the best interest of the International Association, subject to ratification at the next convention; and

WHEREAS, it is the General Executive Board’s judgment that the Constitution and Bylaws should be amended to prohibit any person from making a video or audio recording of a local meeting;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Article XIX of the Constitution and Bylaws shall be amended by adding the following section;

Section 28. Local Unions shall prohibit anyone from making an audio or video recording of any part of a Local Union meeting. Making such a recording shall be deemed a punishable offense under Article XXIV, Section 1(n) of the Constitution and Bylaws.

Next order of business the status of Trusteeships in Locals 32 Newark, NJ, and Local 127 Appleton, WI, were then reviewed by the Board. Based on the recommendation of the Trustees the Board voted to remove the Trusteeship from Local 32 effective August 1, 2016 and also remove the Trusteeship of Local 127 effective September 20, 2016.

President McCourt reported that the AWLU/Staff Pension plans were financially stable at this time but local unions need to make contributions on employees as outlined in the International Constitution and Bylaws and to be in compliance with the Trust Documents.

President McCourt reminded the Board that we must continue with our organizing efforts and that organizing is the key to our survival. The VP’s are responsible for overseeing that each local continues to have at least one ongoing viable organizing campaign with a strategic plan in place. A copy of the strategic plan must be given to the Regional Organizer.

President McCourt directed the Board to contact every Local who has not submitted their LM2 Reports and Audits to the International office and have them comply within two weeks.

He then announced that the 31st Quinquennial Convention in 2017 will be held in Boston, MA at the Boston Sheraton Hotel August 23-25. Upon concluding his report President McCourt thanked the Board for the work that they do and their continual support.

General Secretary-Treasurer Greg Revard reported to

the Board that they need to follow up with their locals to ensure that the LM2 reports for US locals and annual audits for all local unions are filed electronically with the International office and with the DOL. Each VP was given a detailed step by step handout that enabled them to access the locals within their jurisdiction so they can see if locals have submitted the LM2’s and audits. This access also allows the VP’s to see if the local is current with their financial reports or if variances exist. At the present time there are locals that are still not in compliance. Each month a detailed Asset/Variation Report for all locals are sent to the VP’s for their review and it is the responsibility of the VP to contact their local unions to rectify any outstanding issues. If a local needs assistance to correct errors or variances they can contact the International office for assistance. Upon review of the Asset/Variation reports by the Board a motion was made, seconded, and unanimously supported to uphold Article V, Section 4 of the International Constitution and Bylaws and locals that are not in compliance will not be seated at the 31st Quinquennial Convention as Delegates. The International Relief Fund has paid out over $187,500 in aid to our Brothers and Sisters in Local 110 Edmonton, Alberta due to the wildfires that has decimated the Fort McMurray area. The wildfires in Alberta are reported to be the largest natural disaster in the history of Canada and our thoughts and prayers go out to all our Canadian Brothers and Sisters. Our International Union is standing by with support as our members attempt to rebuild their lives. Thankfully there have not been any reports of loss of life.

Professor Andy Todd of Mount Sinai Medical School, the Director of the Insulators’ Tissue Bank, gave the Board an updated report on the status and progress of the Insulators Tissue Bank and his other work for the Insulators: Low Dose CT Screenings; the development of an asbestos exposure questionnaire that is designed specifically for Insulators and their family members; the potential importance of updating the mortality information for Dr. Selikoff’s cohort of 17,800 union Insulators; and the idea of documenting the terrible impact of asbestos on the families of the Insulators. For Low Dose CT screenings, Professor Todd has prepared an educational presentation for the members. He has video testimonials on the importance of screenings; has prepared template materials for the content of mailing to a local’s members; and has template eligibility determination forms and letter of agreement for the scanning institution. He is more than happy to work with any local that wishes to put on a screening with a local hospital. The unexpected findings from the LDCT screenings that have already been done have resulted in occupational physicians identifying the need to learn more about how and when the Insulators get their exposure, in the days before and after asbestos was banned in new insulation. To help these physicians help us, Professor Todd has worked with some of our members to create an Insulator-specific asbestos exposure questionnaire. A version customized to family members

• Pension contributions coming into the office, took a long time. Locals not to send to Administrator directly. If you are late with remittances please scan and email a copy to Sheila Sonon at the General Office.

• We have a non-union problem in our industry; We have permits that have worked for years in some locals, this helps the non-union because we wait to bring them in after years in the trade, as a first year, and that’s wrong. We have a classification as an improver, who is a member.

Low Dose CT scans• Reported on Locals who are working with Andy Todd

on setting up low dose CT scans in their home jurisdictions. Early detection is very important.

• Discussed Local 17’s program, and the high number of cases they found – 60 percent after 1980 have an induced form of Asbestos. This is just from exposure

to asbestos in existing Industrial plants, and not the application of the material.

Firestopping• We don’t have a lot of Contractors that want to do

that work. Mostly because lack of knowledge on how to bid that work exclusively.

Labour Management reporting on union finances• Every local union must do an audit. • Audits have to come to the U.S. General office.

It has to get done, local trustees have to sign off on it. It’s in our Constitution, and it has to get done. Locals need to go on the International’s website and list the trustees.

• We want the names of all female members in the local union.

Organizing• Every local union must have 1 active campaign

going on. • Discussed some issues with the UA, our work being

given non-union by Union Mechanicals. • Roofers looking at merging with the UA. We are not

Report of International Vice President Fred Clare – Eastern Canada• Congratulations to Matt Benson on winning 116’s

election as Business Manager. • Touched on jurisdiction on urethane spray foam. Local

• The fund did a great job in helping out with funding to the members who needed it and there will be more to come when they can get in and assess the damage. The second round will be for damages incurred. Everyone in Canada chipped in and helped as a Country, as local Unions and it was good to see everyone come together and help.

Report on Western Canada• Critical time – Manpower shortage is gone. Conditions

have changed, it’s going to get tougher now that things are slowing down and it’s going to get tougher at negotiations going forward.

• There’s going to be some hard choices to be made with current market conditions. The days of Cadillac agreements are going to be a thing of the past. We have to do what we can to protect work for our members.

(All candidates ran unopposed; it was motioned, second and passed to issue white ballots for all candidates) Report of General President James McCourt: Brother McCourt gave an update on the Sheet Metal Workers issue and a detailed explanation on the history behind it, he has been meeting with Sheet Metal President Sellers. He discussed the United Steelworkers representing Petrochem. He reported that insulation hours are at an all-time high. He stated that each local should be filing Jurisdictional disputes against any trade that is performing Insulator work.

He reported that the AWLU Pension plan is 100% funded and doing well; he also gave a brief history of the plan. He discussed what would need to take place before benefit increases could be given.

He reiterated the extreme need for being prepared to meet the future workload; the expected future workload is unprecedented. He stressed that bringing on temporary “permit” workers is just wrong, we cannot continue to train workers and not allow them membership.

Report of General Secretary-Treasurer Greg Revard: Brother Revard noted that the Quinquennial Convention will be next year and all locals are required to have their financial reports up to date in order to be issued credentials. He discussed the various issues that have arisen around the country because local union trustees are not following the constitution and bylaws. Each local is required to submit LM-2 and annual audits to the international through the website.

Greg reminded every local to check your awl emails daily. Guest Speaker California’s Superintendent of Public Education, Tom Torlakson:

Tom thanked the delegates for the opportunity to come and share some exciting work that is being done in California’s educational system. He commended the Insulators Union on our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy conservation. He discussed his long running relationship with the Building Trades Unions and how it shaped his political view. So, when he ran for his current position he listened

carefully to the trades concerns that the public education system had defunded shop classes and vocational training, and focused too much on college preparation. In his research he discovered that drop-out rates had increased and studies showed that many of the drop-outs felt there was no opportunity for them to go to college, so why would they continue going to high school. His idea was both simple and made common sense; he wanted to bring vocation education back into high schools and to fully fund it. During the last six years’ vocational education classes have been the most sought after classes and continue to expand. This year Tom was able to secure $1.5 billion of the state’s budget solely for vocation education programs. Recently he introduced Building Trades designed pre-apprentice programs and these classes now have a 95% graduation rate, the highest rate of any education program to his knowledge, with the added bonus of directing the graduates to a Labor Union Apprenticeship program.

Report of WSC International Vice-President, Doug Gamble: Brother Gamble discussed the need to continue organizing; it takes a lot of stamina and determination to be successful. He stressed the need to instill the pride in workmanship in our next generation. He discussed the firestop industry and what we need to do expand our market share. He discussed the need for each local’s leadership to work as a team with each other, and with your employers. He discussed the need to make sure your locals finances are sound and stable. He discussed the need for each leader to treat all the members fairly and equally. He discussed the apprentice programs and the need to use them to filter the individuals who are not an asset to our industry. Reiterated that all LM-2 reports and Audits must be up to date and uploaded into the Internationals’ website.

Director of Jurisdiction Disputes, John Conroy: John discussed the process of going through the Jurisdictional dispute. He gave an update on several disputes that are going though at this time.

Director of Organizing, Todd Dunnahoe: Brother Dunnahoe reminded the delegates that each local is mandated to have ongoing COMET training, be current on OMS usage, have a business manager appointed organizing committee, an active organizing campaign, submit monthly reports, no permit workers and all organizers must attend the required classes. He discussed the Organizing conference to be held in 2017. He reported on the Building Trades Academy. He reminded organizers that there would be an OMS update class immediately following this conference.

Printed in USA

It’s time to go vote.

Only Hillary Clinton has a real, common-sense plan to protect American workers and bring back the middle class. And she’s the only candidate who can stand up to anti-worker politicians – and win.

How you vote is a personal decision. The Heat and Frost

Insulators have endorsed Hillary Clinton because we believe she can deliver for

working families.

On November 8, vote to protect workers.

Vote Hillary Clinton for President.
