Holiday Greeting from The International Officers
The holiday season 2011 finds many ironworkers in difficult times and serves as a reminder for us to be grateful for our family, friends,
and all those who add meaning and purpose to our lives. Know that even as we reflect upon the many struggles and hard fought accomplishments of the year, your union continues to work arduously for fair wages, benefits, and a decent standard of living. And, during the time we spend with our loved ones, let us remember those less fortunate, those without representation, those who fought hard for the rights
we enjoy today, and those who protect our nations and keep us safe.
The new year 2012 offers us promises of peace, happiness, and good fortune. Most importantly, it presents us the opportunity to recommit to getting all of our brothers and sisters home safe every night. 2012 is a dedication to the year of zero fatalities and incidents, the biggest and most precious gift we can give to each other.
Let us celebrate the joys of the season and look forward to a prosperous and safe new year!

4 THE IRONWORKER
Port Mann BridgeLocal 97 (Vancouver, British Columbia)
has been hard at work on a new ten lane Port Mann bridge with an estimated construction cost of $2.46 billion. When the new bridge is completed, the existing bridge, which will be more than 45 years old, will be taken down.
In total, the new bridge will be 2.2 ki-lometres long, 50 metres wide, carrying 10 lanes, and have a 42 metres clearance above high water level (same length and clearance as existing bridge). The tow-ers will be approximately 75 metres tall above deck level (total height approx. 163 metres from top of footing). The main span (between the towers) will be 470 metres long, with over 12,000 tonnes of structur-al steel, which will be the second longest cable-stayed span in the Western hemi-sphere. The main bridge (between the end of the cables) will have a length of 850 me-tres with two towers and 288 cables.
Local 97 first supplied ironworkers to the precast segment erection on the Deal gantry in May 2010. The steel gantry weighs more than 700 tonnes, is 155-me-tre-long and is the key piece of equipment used to install the bridge deck. During installation, 90 tonne, pre-made concrete sections of the bridge deck are suspended from the gantry, aligned and then low-ered into place. In total, 288 deck sections have been placed on the Surrey side. This was completed in December 2010.
Relocating the 700-tonne gantry took approximately three weeks and required detailed planning and engineering. The gantry was disassembled into pieces, each weighing approximately 40 tonnes. These pieces were trucked across the
existing bridge where they were reas-sembled to erect 831 pre-made concrete sections that will make up the Coquitlam side’s north approach to the bridge.
As the New Year came so did the main span work with the south pylon S1 com-ing to head, a raising gang was in full force working 6–10’s plus. They started to hang the iron on the S1 pylon with the cable stays in March 2011. The bridge finally started to take shape. The north side will follow along approximately one to two months behind the south side.
When the new Port Mann Bridge opens in December 2012, only eight (four each direction) of the ten lanes will be ready as portions of the old bridge have to be demolished on either side. Then the gantry work will be completed.
It isn’t known when all ten lanes will be operational, but they say it’s estimat-ed that by December 2013 the original Port Mann Bridge will be fully decommis-sioned with all signs of it gone by 2014.
As General Vice President Darrell
LaBoucan mentioned in his December report, “Troy Idler has done an admira-ble job in the organizing department in strengthening relationships with Peter Kiewit Infrastructure.”
The Iron Workers are the only build-ing trades on the project with a project labour agreement (PLA). The Iron Work-ers have started off strong with an under-standing that time on tools matters, with CLAC (the Christian Labour Association of Canada) working along the side on the job, it has been a challenge like no other Local 97 members have had to face. Their work has proved as long as they focus on their trade that their work will stand above the rest. Without members backing the decision, they would be on the outside looking in at this project. General Vice President LaBoucan states, “My hat goes off to all members that are working and or will be working on this project.”
Local 97 will have over one hundred ironworkers working for Kiewit on the project.

Canadian Director Darrell LaBou-can and Western Canada General Organizer Mike Clarke facilitated the session. The co-chairs thanked the participants and commended them on the efforts in the ongoing struggles to retain and increase mar-ket share across Canada.
day 2
The second day of the conference started with presentations from a variety of owner/contractor/company representatives and a presentation of legal precedents across Canada. Local 712 (Vancouver, British Colum-bia) Business Manager Tom O’Neill opened the day, and the management side took the floor first.

Speaker topics ranged from indus-try trends, owner union preferences and the reasons for the same, hur-dles union contractors face in train-ing and supervision, and potential skilled ironworker shortages over the next decade. The message of the day was what the Iron Workers and Iron Worker locals need to do to stand out and be the most sought after trade in terms of our construction and mainte-nance industries.
The afternoon session involved reports on the ongoing highlights and challenges our local union ad-ministration undergoes on a regular basis. Business managers from coast

General President Walter Wise, General Secretary Eric Dean, Gen-eral Treasurer Ed McHugh and IM-PACT CEO Eric Waterman took the floor on the final day of the Tri-Coun-cil Conference. The day was started by a welcome from Local 97 (Van-couver, British Columbia) Business Manager James Leland.
Informative reports were given by all officers and CEO Waterman. Highlights of the presentations were the seriousness of safety being a num-ber one priority for our members in North America, the ongoing efforts to streamline member information, and the expansion of the role of IMPACT across the entire training horizon.
The ironworkers in attendance thanked the general officers for their attendance at our first Tri-Council meeting and unanimously endorsed them for their work and in their pursuit of the goals presented at the upcoming 42nd International Convention.

10 THE IRONWORKER
Brother Frank Steadman, mem-bership no. 180698, was initiated
as an apprentice in Local 321 (Little Rock, Ark.) on May 1, 1940. After proving his skills, he was promoted to journeyman ironworker on August 1, 1940. As many of our old timers did, he boomed out all over the country, holding membership in Locals 3, 14, 25, 29, 86, 114, 118, 321, 377, 433, 598 and 646. Even while serving our country during World War II, he con-tinued to pay his dues and maintain his membership.
After calling the International about donating memorabilia from his many years as an ironworker, Jerry Wilson, district council representa-tive for the District Council of Texas and the Mid-South, paid Brother Steadman a visit and was advised that Mrs. Steadman had passed away fourteen years prior and they had no children. Being 96 years of age, Brother Steadman decided he wanted to share his items with some-one who would appreciate them. He pulled an old box out of his closet and began to share his story…
Frank was born in Powhatan, Louisiana, just southeast of Shreve-port, Louisiana, in 1915. His mother died when he was only 12 years old and he had to learn to care for him-self from that point on; he said that was when he learned how to cook. Having little education, he later took a job with the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s as a cook.
After his stint in the Civilian Con-servation Corps, he landed a job with a pile driving company and ended up working on a new bridge going across the Mississippi River from Green-ville, Mississippi, to Arkansas. He asked the superintendent from Amer-ican Bridge if he could go to work for
them, as it looked exciting and paid more money. They told him to come back the next day and so began his ironworking career. Frank worked for American Bridge on projects all
over the United States and in several capacities—connector, foreman, and general foreman. As was customary in those days, he would transfer his
membership into the locals where he was working.
When World War II started, he went to work for the U. S. Navy at the Naval Drydocks in Hunters Point, California, as a leadingman rigger. He said he transferred his member-ship into Local 377 (San Francisco) and kept paying his dues during that time because he didn’t want to lose his book. In 1946, he returned to work for American Bridge and con-tinued working for them on projects across North America until he was injured on a job in the late 1960s and had to retire in 1971.
Brother Steadman proudly dis-plays his IPAL Presidents 200 Club plaque on his wall and has diligently contributed to and supported IPAL for several years, going above and be-yond the requirements for the Presi-dent’s Club recognition.
In addition to his many years of commitment to the labor movement and the Iron Workers, we would like to thank Brother Steadman for the job-site pictures, various pieces of corre-spondence and other historical items he has donated to the Iron Workers International archives. These items will add greatly to our historical dis-play, showing what it was like being an ironworker through the years. We are certain they will bring enjoyment and insight to everyone who has the pleasure of viewing them.
From all we have heard, seen and read, it would seem Brother Stead-man has a life and career he should be proud of. He truly is a fine example of what being a citizen, an ironwork-er, and a union member is all about. Brother Steadman is currently resid-ing in Shreveport, Louisiana, and we wish him every bit of good health and happiness!

Ironworkers show Union Power
Ontario District Council Organizers Dan Marr, Lash Ray, Jim Rodney, Marc Arsenault, and Severyn Salitia put up an information line against a non-union native contractor, who admits to not paying taxes for his company and to paying cash (under the table) for his payroll. The organiz-ers, with the help of Local 700 (Windsor, Ontario) Business Agent Enoch Greenwell, as well as members of Local 700 and the local building trades were able to catch full media attention with the local radio station, as well as the local newspaper. They were also successful at getting the lo-cal politicians in their riding on board to combat this and other contractors who use the underground economy as a means of cheating the system.
Ironworker to Appear on Brotherhood outdoors
Brotherhood Outdoors, an outdoor TV series of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance that showcases hardworking union members on hunting and fishing adventures, will feature our member Jessica Reagor from Local 395 (Hammond, Ind.). The production company visited Jessica at home and on the job for her profile. The episode will air on Thursday, January 5 at 8:00 p.m. on the Sportsman Channel. Con-gratulations, Jessica!
Ironworkers save Monument from Being swept Away by Flooding
In June 2011, the Missouri River became the focal point of fear as parts of the Midwest from South Dakota to Missouri faced rising tides and disastrous flooding. Union members in Nebraska aided in evacuations while bracing for the worst. Two members of Local 21 (Omaha, Neb.), Mike Bak-er and Stu Steffens, secured a labor monument with hoses to prevent it from being swept away by the river currents. Omaha Federation of Labor President, Terry Moore, issued a statement saying, “All of labor should thank Iron Work-ers Local 21 for this effort, especially Mike Baker and Stu Steffens. If you see them, say simply, Thank You. It would mean a lot.”

2011 came to us with major economic challenges,
the result of thirty years of Republican attacks on our
union way of life. Nowhere has that challenge been
more confrontational than in Wisconsin, where the
Republican Governor has implemented a direct assault
on public sector collective bargaining. This created an
unprecedented response by WisconsinÕ s working people,
including job actions by state legislators and occupation
of the State Capitol Building. Ironworkers Local 8 and
Local 383 have been at the center of this labor campaign.
This crisis has its roots in a thirty year campaign
by the radical right in this country to attack the middle
class and redistribute wealth into the hands of the top 1%
of US population. The Reagan Bush Presidency began
with the 1981 elimination of PATCO, the air traffic
controllersÕ union, and the precedents that action
established in weakening collective bargaining. Those
years also witnessed Republican leadership of Federal
agencies like NLRB, OSHA, Department of Labor, and
the Federal Courts, with resulting policy heavily slanted
away from LaborÕ s legitimate place in our national
structure. Gradually much production shifted South, into
Republican dominated, Right-to-Work states, which
seriously hurt long established Ironworker shop locals.
Labor did rally in 1992 and elect a Democratic
President, who stood by balanced budgets and generated
government surpluses and low unemployment. Except
for the passage of NAFTA and the continuing
outsourcing of our future, those years were good ones.
However the Bush Presidency 2000-2008 accomplished
a tremendous shift in wealth by decreasing or eliminating
tax liability of wealthy Americans. This bankrupted
government programs and led us to the crisis we now
face. And since most of the money transferred occurred
before the election of a Democratic President, the deck
was heavily stacked in favor of wealth, not labor.
Wisconsin Ironworkers Stand up for America
This crisis confronted all
American working families, but only
because of some particular political
events occurring in Wisconsin, a
confrontation of all national and local
groups began to develop there. The
Governor issued a budget that drastically
reduced public employee compensation,
and eliminated rights to collectively
bargain. This caused a number of state
legislators to leave the Capitol in protest.
In addition, WisconsinÕ s union leadership
rose up in unity and began to gather at
the state capitol in Madison. As the
country looked on in amazement,
WisconsinÕ s working people occupied the
Capitol. Soon the entire US Labor
movement began to mobilize in support
of this historic solidarity displayed by
WisconsinÕ s working people.

14 THE IRONWORKER
As these events came to WisconsinÕ s Building
Trades, it soon became clear that the challenge to
collective bargaining was an issue that required
mobilization. As public events developed, ironworkers
from Local 8 Milwaukee and Local 383 Madison were
clearly present and showing the same leadership
ironworkers always provide. In one incredible sequence,
teachers filmed an emotional scene showing the
Ironworkers arriving at the Capitol to tremendous
cheering. In virtually every media report, ironworkers
were shown present in photos and in the video.
In the locals themselves, Business Managers
Colin Teska at Local 8 and Mike Grimslid at Local 383
soon began putting in very long hours, and this was true
of all Business Agents and staff. This was an entirely
new situation, a crisis without precedent, and the work
that went into it was happening together with all the
normal work that goes with running Ironworker Locals.
Rank and File members accomplished amazing work
setting up websites, interacting with social media, talking
to ironworkers from all over the country to organize
support and to get the word out. Videos were made and
posted on the internet, other types of labor media were
used to great effect. Outreach occurred to Labor
Councils and to AFL-CIO; but most of all, outreach
from Ironworkers went throughout the state, to working
families of all walks of life.
These events present opportunities for all
Ironworkers to stand together. But most important, they
demand we develop the skills and the ability to use the
same tools being employed against us. Organizing
political support against a wealthy elite determined to
dissolve our union is vital to our survival. And that
organizing starts by Locals and District Councils
communicating and supporting each other.
AFL rooted Building Trades have not always
linked well with CIO type industrial unions Ðbut the
lessons of Wisconsin are clear ÐU nited we stand, divided
we beg. And we all need to take advantage of Labor
Education when it is available to us.
The events in Wisconsin face all North American
Ironworkers in our own communities. We owe a great
deal to Wisconsin brothers and sisters who stood up and
made this great effort on our behalf. We all need to
make sure whatever support Wisconsin Locals need from
us gets to them.
United we stand, Divided we beg.

As another year comes to a close, the Canadian iron-workers can reflect back on what Charles Dickens
wrote in A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the Best of Times; it was the Worst of Times…”
Our field and shop hours have made significant gains in the last year as new projects come on line and long-term maintenance and shutdown work has increased in virtually every region of the country.
Ironworkers in Canada have choices again, in wheth-er they want to work on the construction of the Hebron offshore drilling platform being built in Newfoundland, or travel to the opposite coast and apply their rigging skills at our shipyard located on Vancouver Island. Yes, there is work from sea to shining sea and in most re-gions in between – the suitcase-toting member now has many more geographical destinations within our coun-try to earn a living.
That’s the Best of Times!What’s the Worst of Times?
Canada’s construction and maintenance workforce of the baby boomer generation are starting to leave our workforce in favor of retirement. With this exodus, they take a generation of pride, skills, and valuable supervi-sory knowledge.
Even with the fantastic number of apprentices and journeyman our local union training coordinators and instructors are producing, which is in the 20% + ratio of local union membership in most locals, we still will not meet the skilled labour demand that has been predicted over the next nine years in Canada.
The Canadian Office is working in cooperation with General President Walter Wise and the Ironworkers Management Progressive Cooperative Trust (IMPACT) to set up a USA/Canada mobility initiative. The mobil-ity initiative will allow American ironworkers to pre-approve themselves so they may obtain temporary work visas to work on Canadian projects that are experienc-ing ironworker shortages.
We will have an advantage on our non-union compe-tition if we can utilize our American brothers and sis-ters in the predicted shortages. If we can access Ameri-can ironworkers, it will give us an edge in the signing on of contractors who would have otherwise completed their work non-union. Why? Because we can deliver a pool of skilled, productive, and safe ironworkers.
The work visa process is painful on both sides of the bor-der. Our goal is to streamline the process with the help of IMPACT and our owners, contractors, and partners. Couple this initiative with some progressive lobbying, and hopeful-ly some government support, and we will experience suc-cess in meeting the demands of the work horizon.
We speak of safety regu-larly in all facets of our in-dustry—it is a sad fact that as an organization, we have lost 11 members in the past year and in Canada alone, two ironworkers were killed on the job over the last twelve months.
It is with our deepest condolences to their fami-lies and friends that we remember Brother Allan Leschyshyn of Local 728 (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Brother Kane Avery David Thorne of Local 720 (Edmonton, Alberta).
General President Walter Wise is totally committed to reducing our workplace fatalities to zero. We need to do our part every day to make his goal our reality.
When we are on the job and we see unsafe work practices being performed by an ironworker or any other trade—do the right thing and intervene. I know sometimes we do not feel it is our business or our place; but remember the person may not even realize they are putting themselves, and possibly others, in danger when they are working in that moment.
Everyone in this business deserves the right to go home to their families and loved ones. Let us do our part to make sure that happens.
The Canadian Office would like to take a moment to congratulate our newly appointed IMPACT Safety and Health Director Steve Rank. Further, we would also like to thank him for his assistance on two major projects in Canada where President Wise assigned Steve to evalu-ate contractor and ironworker safety performance.
In both cases, and with Steve’s help, we worked with the local unions and the owner to refocus on safety, and implement innovative resolves and practices in the best interests of all parties.
Political Action
2011 has been a very political year for most of us in the labour movement in Canada, the year that most of us would rather forget. Although our labour friendly parties in most regions have held on to their seats, there have been continuous attacks from non-union contractor orga-nizations on our member and union rights in our country.
Examples are rife in Quebec, where the government wants to pass new legislation removing our union’s right to dispatch members to job sites; in Alberta, where there is a move by our competition to ban market recovery

Marketing and Organizing
Some people say successes and achievements in our quest to increase our market share are hard to measure. Well brothers and sisters, don’t believe that theory. All you have to do is take a drive in your local’s turf. Are we doing all the work? Is the steel in that Costco, Chevy dealer-ship, and corner office building in your community being erected by union ironworkers? Is the rebar being placed by a union contractor employing union ironworkers? Is the glass being set by union members of your local?
We can’t stress enough we need every available ironworker hour of work out there. If we are going to maintain and sustain our current standard of living and pension plans we now enjoy, then let no one tell you any different.
We need the pre–engineered building in Saskatche-wan, and we need the curtain wall refurbishing project in Toronto. We must refocus and develop strategies and recapture lost work in places like the Yukon, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and remote regions of our country where the non-union is dominating the work we used to perform.
Our membership numbers in Canada have stayed consistent for the last decade or two, not a bad feat considering the ups-and-downs of our economy during that time. However, over the next nine years, Canada is expected to require tens of thousands of skilled trades’ people to replace an aging workforce and to supply the labour demands that new construction and mainte-nance projects will bring our way.
If we do not take this opportunity to grow our mem-bership and control of our market share, I can guaran-tee you our non-union competition will take another big chunk out of our work when all is said and done.
We have the best options within our organization for attracting the unorganized. Our training and our ability to access every facet of our many trade skills in the field and in the shop, far exceeds anything our competition can deliver.
Best of Times
There is one local in this country that has continued to grow membership when their hours fell drastically from 1995–2010. It was a guess at best during those lean years when and if the next major project rumor may become a reality. During this time, Local 764 (St John’s, Newfoundland) has maintained a strong recruit-ing program, and an even stronger training and ap-prenticeship program. Under the leadership of FST/BM Tom Woodford and President Lawrence Hawco and the entire staff at Local 764, the result has been an almost
doubling of their membership to over 1200 members.Hard work and patience are always rewarded. Be-
tween Newfoundland and Labrador, Local 764 has over 12 billion dollars in major projects now underway, not even including the sharp rise in institutional and com-mercial projects the larger projects have initiated. As a result, the owners of construction in Newfoundland and Labrador will benefit from Local 764’s member-ship growth in the very near future.
Congratulations to the leadership of all depart-ments of Local 764 for continuing the process of re-cruiting and training apprentices through the lean times. It can be done!
International Ironworkers 42nd Convention Chicago
“PROUD PAST, BOLD FUTURE”
Another outstanding and successful convention from opening to close will be remembered in our strong history as an organization. Over 200 member delegates and guests joined our American brothers and sisters in sharing ideas and experiences. The experience enabled the delegates and committees to develop a business plan allowing us to put our best foot forward as an or-ganization, and maintain future success for members, local union, and contractors in the years to come.
To our hosts of the 42nd Convention, the District Council of Chicago and Vicinity, thank you.
The Ironworker Management Progressive Action Plan Cooperative Trust
IMPACT
My favorite subject and one of our key bridges to the future is right on track in Canada.
Delegates of 42nd Convention unanimously supported IMPACT participation from all locals in North America.
Why? Because they have seen the valuable results of this well structured labour/management program developed specifically for ironworkers and the people who hire them, our contractors.
If you are not aware of the many programs, appren-ticeship training materials, and courses, here are a few: Ironworker specific foreman training, post tensioning training, wind turbine training; the list goes on and on. For more info on IMPACT, and how it can better you as an ironworker, visit www.impact-net.com. Feel free to con-tact your local union or district council office for more IM-PACT info that is available for members and contractors.

couver and addressed over 80 contractors and union rep-resentatives. The meeting included IMPACT presentations and open forums where participants interacted effectively to address the unique fit that IMPACT will bring to Canada.
Key announcements for IMPACT made by President Wise were the establishing of three regional advisory boards: RAB 11 District Council of Western Canada, RAB 12 Ontario District Council, and RAB13 District Council of Eastern Canada. President Wise also announced the hir-ing of a Canadian IMPACT director who will work closely with the regional advisory labour/management boards.
I would like to thank IMPACT Co-Chair President Wise and Management Co-Chair Bill Brown, president of Ben Hur Construction Company, for their ongoing support in taking IMPACT to the next level in Canada.
The real beneficiary of the IMPACT program is and will continue to be our members and our contractors.
North American union ironworkers are some of the best-trained and skilled trades’ people in the world, proved by our reputation within the industry. I can assure you as members in the IMPACT and RAB management labour boards, we will sit down and develop polices and training needs, and that together, we will be an even more skilled, strong, safe, and productive organization in Canada.
Canadian Ironworkers International Office Relocation Update
This will be our Canadian Office’s last year in Sarnia, Ontario, and for our long-term administrator Tammy Balogh. As of the end of January, we will have relocated the Ironworkers Canadian Office to St. Albert, Alberta. On behalf of all the locals and members in Canada, we thank Tammy for hard work and dedication over the years and wish her well in her new endeavors.
Another special thanks goes to retiring Local 759 (Thunder Bay, Ontario) Business Manager John O’Malley for his strong leadership and contributions to Local 759’s success over his watch. He held on to the work in some lean times and made many changes to in-crease the membership over 35% under his tenure.
We would also like to take this opportunity to recog-nize retiring shop department General Organizer Michael Clarke, who has had a 19+ year International career includ-ing many achievements instrumental in growing member-ship over the years, as well as laying claim to being one of the founders of the Shopmen’s International pension plan. Mike, congratulations from all of us for a job well done. We wish you and Cathy a long, safe, and happy retirement.
President Wise has since appointed Eric Bohne of Local 712 (Vancouver, British Columbia) to the posi-tion of district representative of the Shop Department in Canada. Eric brings a ton of skills and experience to our shop department in Canada. The Canadian Inter-national staff looks forward to working with you. Con-gratulations on your appointment Eric!
As always, we want to give a moment of our thoughts to those members and members’ families who lost loved ones since our last report.
In closing, I wish to convey my sincere thanks to our Canadian staff Jacques Dubois, Kevin Bryenton, Tam-my Balogh, and to all the members.
Thank you to the business managers, agents, orga-nizers, training coordinators instructors, local union administration and service providers. This is our oppor-tunity to thank you for your hard work and what you do for the members and the organization every day.
On behalf of the Canadian Office and my family, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!
Comme une autre année tire à sa fin, les travailleurs de l’acier canadiens peuvent réfléchir sur ce que Charles
Dickens a écrit dans « A Tale of Two Cities » Un conte de deux villes: «C’était le meilleur des temps, c’était le pire des temps ...»
Les heures construction et les heures d’atelier ont fait des gains importants dans la dernière année ainsi que sur les nouveaux projets et les arrêts d’entretien « Shut-down » dans pratiquement toutes les régions du pays.
Les travailleurs des métiers de l’acier au Canada ont à nouveau des choix s’ils veulent travailler sur la construc-tion de la plate-forme de forage offshore Hebron en cours
de construction à Terre-Neuve, ou se rendre à la côte opposée et d’appliquer leurs compétences à notre chantier maritime situé sur l’île de Vancouver. Oui il ya du travail d’un océan à l’autre et dans la plupart des régions entre les deux - les membres transportant leur valise ont maintenant de nombreuses destina-

tions géographique à l’intérieur de notre pays pour gag-ner leur vie.
C’est le meilleur des temps!C’est le pire des temps?
La construction au Canada et le personnel de main-tenance de la génération des baby-boomers commencent à partir de notre effectif en faveur de la retraite. Avec cet exode ils prennent une génération de fierté, de compétenc-es et de connaissances précieuses de supervision.
Même avec le nombre fantastique d’apprentis et de compagnons que nos coordonnateurs locaux de la forma-tion syndicale et les instructeurs produisent (lequel est dans les ± 20% + dans la plupart des locaux), nous ne se-ront toujours pas prêts à répondre à la demande de main-d’œuvre qualifiée qui a été prévue pour les neuf prochaines années au Canada.
Le bureau canadien travaille en collaboration avec le président-général Wise et les membres Ironworker Management Progressive Action Plan Cooperative Trust (IMPACT) pour mettre en place une initiative de mobilité Etats-Unis / Canada. L’initiative de mobilité permettra aux membres américains de se qualifier eux-mêmes afin qu’ils puissent obtenir des visas de travail temporaire pour travailler sur des projets canadiens qui connaissent des pénuries de travailleurs des mé-tiers de l’acier.
Nous allons avoir un avantage sur notre concurrence non syndiqués si nous pouvons utiliser nos confrères américains dans la pénurie prévue. Si nous pouvons ac-céder aux membres américains, cela nous donnera un avantage en signant des sous-traitants qui auraient au-trement terminé leur travail non syndiqué. Pourquoi? Parce que nous pouvons offrir un bassin de travailleurs des métiers de l’acier qualifiés, productifs et sûrs.
Le processus de visa de travail est douloureux des deux côtés de la frontière. Notre objectif est de ration-aliser ce processus avec l’aide d’IMPACT et de nos don-neurs d’ouvrage, entrepreneurs et partenaires. Coupler cette initiative avec un peu de lobbying progressif et nous espérons un soutien du gouvernement et nous al-lons connaître le succès à répondre aux exigences qui se pointent à l’horizon.
On parle de sécurité régulièrement dans toutes les facettes de notre industrie - il est triste de constater qu’en tant qu’organisation, nous avons perdu 11 mem-bres au cours de la dernière année et au Canada seule-ment, il y a eu deux membres tués au travail au cours de cette même période.
Nous offrons nos plus sincères condoléances à leurs familles et amis et nous nous rappelons des confrères Allan Leschyshyn de la section locale 728 Winnipeg et Kane Avery David Thorne section locale 720 Edmonton.
Le président général Walter Wise est totalement en-gagé à réduire les décès au travail à zéro. Nous devons faire notre part tous les jours pour faire de son objectif notre réalité.
Lorsque nous sommes au travail et nous voyons des pratiques de travail dangereuses étant réalisée par un de nous ou tout autre métier nous devons faire la bonne chose et intervenir. Je sais que parfois nous ne nous sentons pas à notre place, mais rappelez-vous cette personne peut ne pas réaliser qu’elle met elle-même ou éventuellement d’autres en danger quand elle travaille.
Tous et chacun ont le droit et le devoir de retourner à la maison en santé après l’ouvrage et faisons notre part pour y parvenir.
Le bureau canadien voudrait prendre un moment pour féliciter notre nouveau directeur de la sécurité IMPACT Steve Rank. En outre, nous tenons également à le remercier pour son aide sur deux projets majeurs au Canada, où le président Wise a assigné Steve pour évaluer la performance de sécurité des entrepreneurs et des membres.
Dans les deux cas et avec l’aide de Steve, nous avons travaillé avec les syndicats locaux et le propriétaire pour se concentrer sur la sécurité et mettre en œuvre des pratiques novatrices dans le meilleur intérêt de toutes les parties.
Action politique
2011 a été une année très politique pour la plupart d’entre nous dans le mouvement syndical au Canada - année que la plupart d’entre nous préféreraient oublier. Bien que nos élus favorables aux travailleurs dans la plupart des régions ont conservé leurs sièges, il y a eu des attaques continuelles des organisations non syndi-qués sur nos membres et les droits syndicaux dans ce pays.
Les exemples sont monnaie courante tel que au Québec où le gouvernement veut adopter une nouvelle loi qui va supprimer le droit de notre syndicat à référ-er des membres à des employeurs. En Alberta, il y a un mouvement par nos concurrents pour interdire les fonds de relance du marché et des travailleurs implan-tés dans le but d’organiser et le gouvernement fédéral, où les forces de droite font pression pour l’équivalent du LM-2 américain comme exigences de déclaration pour les syndicats canadiens.
Commercialisation et organisation
Certaines personnes disent que les réussites et les réalisations dans notre quête pour augmenter nos parts de marché sont difficiles à mesurer. Eh bien confrères et consœurs ne croyez pas cette théo-

rie. Tout ce que vous avez à faire est de prendre une promenade dans le territoire de votre section lo-cale. Faisons-nous tout le travail? Est-ce l’acier que Costco, un concessionnaire Chevrolet, et l’armature dans l’édifice à bureaux dans votre communauté vient d’être érigée par des travailleurs syndiqués? Est-ce que l’armature a été placée par un entrepre-neur employant des syndiqués? Est-ce que le verre des murs rideaux a été fixé par les membres de l’Union de vos locaux?
Nous ne soulignerons jamais assez que nous devons faire toutes les heures de travail disponibles. Si nous voulons maintenir notre niveau actuel de vie et de re-traite dont nous jouissons aujourd’hui, alors ne laissez personne vous dire autrement.
Nous avons besoin de la construction de préfabri-qué en Saskatchewan, et nous avons besoin des pro-jets de rénovation de murs-rideaux à Toronto. Nous devons nous recentrer et développer des stratégies et de récupérer notre travail perdus dans des en-droits comme le Yukon, le Nunavut, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest et les régions éloignées de ce pays où le non-union domine le travail que nous étions habi-tués d’effectuer.
Notre nombre de membres au Canada est demeuré stable durant la dernière décennie ou deux, un exploit compte tenu des hauts et des bas de notre économie pendant cette période. Cependant au cours des neuf prochaines années, le Canada devrait nécessiter des dizaines de milliers de gens de métier qualifiés pour remplacer une main-d’œuvre vieillissante et aussi pour fournir les exigences du travail que la construc-tion de nouveaux projets et d’entretien amènera sur notre chemin.
Si nous ne prenons pas cette occasion d’accroître le nombre de nos membres et le contrôle de notre part de marché, je peux vous garantir que la concurrence non-union va prendre une autre grosse partie de notre travail quand tout est dit et fait.
Nous avons les meilleures options au sein de notre organisation pour attirer les non-syndiqués. Notre for-mation et notre capacité à accéder à toutes les facettes de nos compétences nombreuses tant dans le domaine des usines que des chantier dépasse de loin tout ce que notre concurrence peut offrir.
Les meilleurs des temps
Il y a un Local dans ce pays qui a continué de croître alors que leurs heures de travail sont tom-bées drastiquement de 1995 à 2010. C’était une sup-position, au mieux, au cours de ces années de vach-es maigres quand et si la rumeur du prochain grand projet peut devenir une réalité. Pendant ce temps
le Local 764 à St-Jean Terre-Neuve a maintenu un solide programme de recrutement et une formation encore plus forte et le programme d’apprentissage. Sous la direction de Tom Woodford SFT/GA et de son équipe, le résultat a été d’avoir presque doublé leur nombre à plus de 1200 membres à compter de cette année.
Le travail acharné et la patience sont toujours récompensés. Entre Terre-Neuve et le Labrador le Local 764 a plus de 12 milliards de dollars dans des projets majeurs actuellement en cours. Cela ne comprend même pas la forte augmentation des pro-jets institutionnels et commerciaux que les grands projets ont entrainés. En conséquence, les proprié-taires et constructeurs à Terre-Neuve et Labrador profiteront de la croissance du 764 dans un avenir très proche.
Je fé l i c i te donc les d ir igeants de tous les départements du Local 764 d’avoir poursuivi le processus de recrutement et de formation des ap-prentis à travers les périodes de vaches maigres —cela peut se faire!

N’hésitez pas à contacter votre syndicat local ou le bureau du Conseil de district pour plus d’informations sur IMPACT qui est disponible pour les membres et les entrepreneurs.
Les coprésidents nord-américains de gestion de l’IMPACT Bill Brown et Walter Wise se sont récem-ment adressés à Vancouver à plus de 80 entrepreneurs et représentants syndicaux. La réunion comportait des présentations et des forums IMPACT ouvert où les participants ont interagi de manière efficace pour répondre aux ajustements unique qu’IMPACT ap-portera au Canada.
Les principales annonces d’IMPACT effectuée par le président Wise ont été la mise en place de trois comités consultatifs régionaux: RAB 11 Conseil de district de l’Ouest canadien, RAB 12 Conseil de Dis-trict de l’Ontario, et Rab13 pour couvrir le Conseil de District de l’Est du Canada. Le président Wise a également annoncé le recrutement d’un directeur IMPACT canadiens qui travaillera en étroite col-laboration avec les Conseils régionaux consultatifs du travail.
Je tiens à remercier le Président et la gestion ju-dicieuse du co-président Bill Brown de Ben Hur con-struction pour leur soutien continu dans l’implantation d’IMPACT au Canada.
Les véritables bénéficiaires du programme IM-PACT sont et continueront d’être nos membres et nos employeurs.
Les travailleurs des métiers d’acier syndiqués en Amérique du Nord sont parmi les gens de métiers les mieux formés et qualifiés dans le monde - ce qui reste évident par notre réputation dans l’industrie. Je peux vous assurer que les membres de l’IMPACT et les conseils de gestion du travail RAB allons nous asseoir et développer les politiques et les besoins en formation et ensemble, nous serons encore plus qualifiés, une organisation forte, sûre et productive au Canada.
Relocalisation de bureau canadien
Ce sera la dernière année de notre bureau ca-nadien à Sarnia en Ontario, et pour notre admin-istrateur à long terme Tammy Balogh. À la fin de janvier, nous aurons déménagé le bureau canadien à St. Albert, Alberta. Au nom de tous les locaux et les membres au Canada, nous remercions Tammy pour le travail acharné et son dévouement au fil des an-nées et lui souhaitons bonne chance dans ses nou-veaux projets.
Un autre merci tout spécial va à John O’Malley SFT/GA Local 759 qui prend sa retraite pour son lead-ership solide et l’évolution du 759 sous sa gouverne. Il maintiendra à l’œuvre des membres dans certaines périodes de peu d’emploi et de nombreux changements pour augmenter l’adhésion de plus de 35% sous son mandat.
Nous aimerions également profiter de cette occa-sion pour reconnaître à sa retraite l’organisateur gé-néral Michael Clarke qui a plus de 19 ans de carrière internationale laquelle comprend de nombreuses ré-alisations qui ont joué dans la croissance de l’adhésion au cours des années ainsi que la fierté d’être l’un des fondateurs du plan de pension shopmens internation-al. Mike - félicitations de nous tous pour un travail bien fait. Nous te souhaitons et à Cathy son épouse une retraite longue, heureuse et en santé.
Le président Wise a depuis nommé Eric Bohne du lo-cal 712 à Vancouver pour combler les fonctions. Eric ap-porte une tonne de compétences et d’expérience à notre département d’usine au Canada. Le personnel interna-tional canadien se réjouit de travailler avec lui. Félicita-tions pour ta nomination Eric!
Comme toujours, nous voulons donner un moment de nos pensées à ceux des membres et des familles des membres qui ont perdu des êtres chers depuis notre dernier rapport.
En terminant, je tiens à transmettre mes sincères remerciements à notre personnel canadien, Jacques Dubois, Kevin Bryenton, Tammy Balogh, et à tous les membres.
Merci aux dirigeants d’entreprises, agents, or-ganisateurs, coordonnateurs de la formation, les in-structeurs, de l’administration des syndicats locaux et les fournisseurs de services. C’est l’occasion pour vous remercier pour votre travail acharné et de ce que vous faites pour les membres et l’organisation tous les jours.

APPRENTICESHIP DEPARTmENT REPORTLee Worley
apprenticeship Department Plans for the future
Planning is a key factor in the success of many aspects of our lives—and the same applies to the future of
Iron Worker apprenticeship training and journeyman upgrading programs. With this in mind, in early Septem-ber of this year staff members from the Apprenticeship and Training Department and IMPACT met for several days of strategic planning.
The first topic of discussion was the annual Instruc-tor Training Program. Meeting participants reviewed the evaluations of the program held in July of 2011 with a focus on how to improve the program in 2012. As a result of the meeting, several major changes are being imple-mented for the 28th Annual Ironworker Instructor Train-ing Program.• Allprogramparticipantsrequestinga freedormitory
room will be housed on the campus of the University of Michigan. We are confident that having all of our par-ticipants housed in the same dormitory with a cafete-ria close by will be well received.
• Therewill beameeting of all apprenticeship coordi-nators and directors held in conjunction with the pro-gram. The date of this important one-day meeting is Saturday, July 14, 2012.
• TheclosingsessionwillbeheldonThursdayeveningon the campus of Washtenaw Community College. This will allow those driving to the program to leave after courses conclude on Friday afternoon.
The dates for the annual program are July 15–20, 2012. More information on the 28th Annual Ironworker Instruc-tor Training Program (including a list of new courses) will be sent to all local unions.
Another major area of discussion centered on the plans for the biennial Apprenticeship Competition. The 2012 Ap-prenticeship Competition will be held at Local 22 in India-napolis during September of 2012. Specific dates and more information on the competition will be sent to all local unions.
During the past seven years the Apprenticeship and Training Department, working through the National Training Fund and with IMPACT, has been developing new training packages and materials. This initiative will continue in 2012 as we focus on the following new and re-vised training packages:• General Foreman and Superintendent Training for
Ironworkers will be available in early 2012 as a hy-brid self-study and online course for any member who is interested. Working closely with IMPACT, there will also be a group-based course for sponsored participants who complete the self-study course.
• The Foreman Training for Ironworkers manual andcourse have been very well received during the six years
since first implemented. During 2012, we plan to work closely with IMPACT to revise the manual and course to better meet the needs of U.S. and Canadian foremen.
• IMPACT has received anumber of requests for a Foreman Training for Shop Ironworkers training pack-age. We will be working with IMPACT and the develop-ment and implementation of this training package.
• Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings was the first newtraining package we developed seven years ago. Given the changes in metal building systems and our need to capture more of this market, we will be updating this training package.
• We continue to receive requests for short courses onforklift operation, roadway flagger, and fire watch. Dur-ing 2012, we will be developing a single DVD that will contain training materials local unions can use to de-liver training in these three areas.
• LeadHazardTrainingforIronworkersmaterialshavebeen available for a number of years. During 2012, we will be reviewing current lead hazard training meth-ods and materials and will revise our training package accordingly.
We are confident that these and other decisions made during the planning meeting will result in products and services that our local unions and shops in the United States and Canada will be able to use to develop ironwork-ers to better meet the needs of our contractors.

22 THE IRONWORKER
E ffective August 1, 2011 General President Wise ap-
pointed me to the position of executive director of Safety and Health to raise the standard of safety performance for our members throughout the Unit-ed States and Canada. I appre-ciate this opportunity to serve our members and will work closely with the district coun-cils, local unions, and IMPACT
to address safety and health issues, and implement new initiatives to help prevent workplace fatalities and dis-abling injuries. I am a member of Local 10 (Kansas City, Mo.) and grateful for the apprenticeship training and work experience I received during my time in the field.
In 1994, I was appointed to the Steel Erection Ne-gotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (SENRAC) to help draft new safety standards for the Occupation-al Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Subpart R – Steel Erection Standard. During this rulemaking process, I worked with representatives of the Iron Workers International to review 673 fatality reports provided by OSHA. These reports revealed the causa-tion factors of many fatalities during the steel erection process that later resulted in new OSHA standards designed to protect our members. However, not includ-ed in these OSHA fatality reports and statistics are the untold stories of emotional and financial hardships incurred by family members and friends left behind.
It is important for our members to know that General President Wise, General Secretary Dean, and General Treasurer McHugh are committed to the safe-ty and health of our members. I have accompanied the general officers to several meetings with the assistant secretary of labor for OSHA and agency officials to ad-dress current compliance directives pertaining to steel erection, and pursue new safety standards for reinforc-ing steel industry. The International Association and stakeholders representing the reinforcing steel and post-tensioning industry have petitioned the agency to pursue a new OSHA standard to address serious hazards in the reinforcing steel industry. The current OSHA standards pertaining to reinforcing steel and post-tensioning opera-tions written in 1971 are antiquated, and must be revised to protect our members. We are pleased that the agency has agreed with our position that new safety standards for reinforcing steel and post-tensioning are warranted. OSHA has included a new “reinforced concrete” stan-
dard as part of the agency’s regulatory agenda.With the support and resources of President Wise,
the Safety and Health Department is launching many new initiatives that are designed to produce measur-able results for protecting our members throughout the United States and Canada. Following is a brief outline of safety and health initiatives and services that you will learn more about through frequent Safety and Health Department publications and information pro-vided to your district council and local union.
safety and Health Department Initiatives for 2012
I. International association campaign— “countdown to Zero fatalities & Incidents in 2012”
President Wise has commissioned a 2012 campaign to achieve zero fatalities & incidents. This campaign will chal-lenge all members to “intervene and prevent unsafe condi-tions and unsafe acts” in the workplace. The campaign will include hard-hat stickers, gang-box stickers, and posters for training facilities and local unions urging members to make “safety intervention job–1.” I will work closely with district councils, local unions, and IMPACT regional advi-sory boards to promote the International Association’s cam-paign “Countdown to Zero Fatalities & Incidents in 2012.”
II. Targeting the “deadly dozen Hazards leading to fatalities and disabling Injuries”
Many of the fatalities and disabling injuries affecting our members throughout the United States and Cana-da continue to be stem from the same common activities and hazards. Following are the primary “deadly dozen activities and hazards” that will be the focus of our cam-paign to prevent fatalities and disabling injuries.• Fallsthroughunprotectedorinadequatefloor

III. Ironworkers–ImPacT national safety Honors Program
Many projects throughout the United States and Canada are completed by our members and contractor’s on time, on budget, with outstanding safety performance. However, we regret that many of these projects remain unnoticed to project owners, regulatory agencies, insurance carriers, and others in the construction industry. The Iron Workers International and IMPACT have established the “Iron-workers–IMPACT National Safety Honors Program,” de-signed to formally recognize ironworkers and contractors who achieve outstanding safety performance. Following are some of the highlights of the program that will be post-ed in future publications, district councils, and local unions.

IV. Outreach services to district councils, local unions and ImPacT
I want to make every effort to participate in district coun-cil meetings, local union meetings, and IMPACT regional advisory board meetings throughout the United States and Canada to identify any safety and health issues that warrant our attention. There is a variety of safety issues that often arise on projects within the district councils and state OSHA plans throughout the country. These is-
sues involving project owners and special contract safety requirements may require individual focus and attention to prevent incidents and/or costly jobsite delays. Follow-ing are some of the services and regulatory assistance that I am willing to provide upon request.
• Publicationofbi-monthlysafetybulletinscalled“Ironworkers…On the Safe Side.”
• OSHAclarificationletterstodistrictcouncilsandlocal unions.

• DevelopmentofdistrictcouncilandIMPACTsafety committees.
• Participationindistrictcouncilandlocalunionmeetings.• Obtainingaccurateinjurydatafordeveloping
causation reports.• Assistancewithaddressingjobsitesafetyissues.
V. regulatory assistance With federal OsHa, state approved OsHa Plans, and msHa
I have received many calls and questions from local unions and members who work in states that operate under the provisions of “State Approved OSHA Plans.” Twenty-seven states have implemented their own OSHA plan. State-approved OSHA plans must adopt standards that are “as effective as” the federal OSHA standards. However, it is important to recognize that the term “as effective as” does not mean “as same as” and therefore, some state OSHA plans have adopted variations of federal OSHA standards.
The Safety and Health Department is also pursu-ing a new “Iron Workers–MSHA Alliance Agreement” with the Mine Safety and Health Administration. The new alliance agreement with recognize many training programs provided by the National Training Fund. Fol-lowing are some of the services and regulatory assis-tance that I will provide on a frequent basis.
• Developallianceagreementsandpartnershipswith state OSHA plans.
• Developallianceagreementsandpartnershipswith federal OSHA and MSHA.

• Requestforofficiallettersofclarificationonstandards.
• Pursueconsistentinterpretationandenforcementof standards.
• Interveneonworkplaceregulatorycomplianceissues.• Developandhostindustryoutreacheventsat

I look forward to devoting my efforts to raising the standard of safety performance for our members through-out the United States and Canada. I appreciate this op-portunity to serve our members and will work closely with the district councils and local unions to address safe-ty and health issues, and implement new initiatives to help prevent workplace fatalities and disabling injuries.

24 THE IRONWORKER
so what will IMPaCt do in Canada?—eVerYtHING!there certainly wasn’t a shortage of praise for IMPACT at
the trust’s inaugural Canadian meeting in Vancouver on October 19, 2011:
“The key behind IMPACT is labor management—that coop-eration, that communication,” said Walter Wise, general presi-dent of the Iron Workers Union and IMPACT’s labor co-chair, as he opened the meeting.
“All of our North American regions are important, and we want to provide Canada the same hands-on attention we give to our IMPACT regions in the United States through a new IM-PACT Canadian regional director,” Wise explained. IMPACT employs regional directors for the east, the mid-west and the west, who serve as the primary points of contact for IMPACT services and grants in the U.S. The new Canadian regional di-rector will be the trust’s fourth and will be dedicated to servic-ing the Canadian district councils and contractors.
“IMPACT is really now a North American initiative. Be-cause we really are a North American ironworking industry,” chimed in Bill Brown, president of Ben Hur Construction Com-pany in St. Louis, Mo., and IMPACT’s management co-chair.
“IMPACT offers us access to an amazing array of programs and services,” praised Darrell LaBoucan, district council presi-dent of Western Canada and IMPACT labor co-chair for the region. “A regional director will be our gateway to a set of pro-grams tailored to our needs.”
“Communication between ironworkers and contractors is crucial to our success as an industry, and IMPACT leads the way,” added Ross Frazer, Western Canada’s labor co-chair.
In short, IMPACT represents a united North American labor-management organization aimed to achieve the mission of MORE JOBS, MORE IRONWORKERS, MORE CONTRAC-
TORS, MORE CUSTOMERS! Nearly 20,000 ironworkers hail from Canada—or about 16% of the active union membership.
“The key behind IMPACT is a better relationship with con-tractors,” Wise explained to ironworkers and contractors at the Vancouver meeting. “It’s really up to all of us to develop what is necessary in Canada—what is going to give you the best opportunity to grow.” He added that while business practices may differ between the two North American neighbors, our fi-nal goal is the same: Double market share over the next ten years to improve the well-being of both ironworkers and their partner contractors.
So what does IMPACT’s Canadian rollout really mean for the 20,000 men and women at our 25 Canadian locals and their contractors? In brief, under the Iron Workers’ constitu-tional mandate approved during the union’s August 2011 con-vention, all outside local unions in North America will begin paying three-fourths of a percent into the IMPACT trust, to be implemented when their local’s current collective bargain-ing agreement is renegotiated. In addition, shop locals will contribute three-eighths of a percent to IMPACT. In return, they receive full access to IMPACT’s comprehensive products and services, including training grants, educational materials, safety programs, communications, marketing tools and project tracking systems, among others.
A handful of shop owners expressed concern that IMPACT is only for outside locals and doesn’t apply to them. “These are legitimate questions, but our grant and training development will meet any and all needs. Just open up your imagination,” said IMPACT CEO Eric Waterman.
“IMPACT’s list of resources is one-of-a-kind in the construc-tion industry,” Waterman added. “Ironworkers or contractors
64666_IW_Dec_11.indd 24 12/7/11 3:45 PM
DECEMBER 2011 25
who have questions about our products and services are wel-come to call our offices and speak to one of our excellent staff members, or visit our recently overhauled website,” he said.
Kevin Hilton, executive assistant to the CEO at IMPACT, reviewed a variety of other programs—TWIC cards, training grants, wind turbine training and project tracking systems for both contractors and local unions. “If you have questions, we’ll find answers for you. Our job is to improve the dialogue between ironworkers and contractors, so we need to spread useful information all around to as many people as we can,” he said.
Hilton echoed Wise, Brown and Waterman: “IMPACT rep-resents the change we need to survive. If you don’t like change, you’re going to hate extinction!”
Lee Worley, the executive director of Apprenticeship and Training, was on the agenda to talk about how the National Training Fund’s (NTF) programs aim to benefit Canadian lo-cals. “Standardized training makes our ironworkers more ef-ficient and much safer.” He added that IMPACT completely funds the NTF and provides award-winning training materi-als, including the extremely popular Foreman Pocket Guide. In short, ironworker training wouldn’t exist at all without IM-PACT’s support.
Steve Rank, executive director of Safety and Health for the Iron Workers took the stage next. “Walt Wise has issued a man-date: There will be no on-the-job ironworker fatalities in 2012. We’ve begun the Countdown to Zero campaign in 2012 to fulfill General President Wise’s goal,” Rank said. Safety standard-ization, rigorous training and attention to detail are going to keep our brothers and sisters safe,” he added. “Any fatality is absolutely unacceptable.”
Rank’s safety presentation also highlighted the “deadly dozen ironworking hazards” as he discussed how the NTF and IMPACT’s standardized training procedures and focus on safe-ty reduces injuries and fatalities.
Later, Bill Brown shared the excitement over IMPACT’s recently launched Low-Density Contractor College Program (LDCC), which aims to give ironworkers the tools to start their own union contracting firms in low-density regions. The pro-gram also offers courses to existing contractors for skills up-grading. “You’ll have access to special programs like these,” he said, explaining that more than fifty percent of contractors are also ironworkers. The first set of classes will be held this fall as a series of online video presentations. IMPACT received more than 100 applications to join the LDCC.
“If you think our LDCC program is creative, you’ll be wowed by all the other services we offer,” CEO Waterman added.
This innovation is only the tip of the iceberg, because IM-PACT’s programs are not static. In fact, IMPACT has recently begun to focus on online marketing and unified marketing
plans to trumpet the International’s success in the way of safe-ty, training and a highly skilled work force on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Brennan Gamwell, communications specialist, discussed the value of member engagement through social media, online press releases and a focus on video. “Potential apprentices who are 19, 20, 21 and 22 will go to Facebook and YouTube first to learn about us. So let’s put information about training, appren-ticeship and job expectations online where young people are going to look for the Iron Workers,” he said.
Dave Fuson introduced Canadian contractors and local union representatives to IMPACT Trac and IMPACT Direct, IMPACT’s project tracking software. “Project tracking software allows local unions and contractors to view jobs in their area at any point in the project lifecycle. IMPACT Direct provides access to non-industrial jobs, and IMPACT Trac displays in-formation on industrial jobs,” Fuson said. “We offer IMPACT Direct at no charge to the user, and we offer a special discount for IMPACT Trac. Signup is all available on our website.”
There’s no shortage of creativity here.“We simply wouldn’t be here…if IMPACT wasn’t working,”
Wise announced at the end of the meeting. IMPACT, he ex-plained, is the key to our survival and prosperity.
Wise went on: “It’s an issue of fairness, when we look at what it provides as far as training, as far as safety, as far as marketing, we do that all over. When everybody gets on board, everybody participates. That’s how our industry grows.”
“IMPACT is spot on,” Darrell LaBoucan said. “We look for-ward to developing programs tailored to Canada and working closely with the IMPACT staff.”
