safety and many additional protections
that enable you to provide for your family rely on two things—money and apathy. Money to flood the airways with
30-second sound bites extolling halftruths or, worse, innuendoes and fear
while betting on apathy to prevent you
from making informed decisions. Your
vote is your decision, but do not be dissuaded from voting in your best pocketbook interests by inflammatory rhetoric.
The strength of America was not built on
pitting one against another but on ideas
and visions that would benefit all.
WALTER WISE
General President
Every vote of an ironworker and his family
and friends carries the weight of five
votes. You can and will make a difference
in the upcoming elections.
You are free to make personal choices,
but the candidates that have been
screened, questioned and endorsed by
your local union have pledged their support on the critical issues that affect your
opportunity as a union ironworker to
provide for your future. And it all starts
with casting your ballot.
When addressing the responsibility to
vote, Abraham Lincoln summed it up very
succinctly, “Elections belong to the people.
It’s their decision. If they decide to turn
their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their
blisters.” Don’t be blistered on November 4.
Display your true patriotism. VOTE!
Thank you for helping to build our
great union.
OCTOBER 2014

t a time when so much of the
world—from the Middle East to
Africa to Hong Kong—is fighting for the
basic right of democracy or self-determination, it becomes more difficult to reconcile that with the voters of the world’s
leading democracy—the United States
of America. While we constantly support and praise those that have fought
and died to preserve our precious rights
and freedom, only 40 percent of eligible
Americans will honor that sacrifice and
vote on November 4.
Since it only takes 50 percent +1 to
determine who will be our elected representatives, what this lack of participation
means is that on November 4, only 20 percent of Americans will decide who sits in
the offices of cities, counties, states and the
U.S. Capitol to make the decisions that will
affect us all. Every vote of an ironworker
and his family and friends carries the
weight of five votes. You can and will make
a difference in the upcoming elections.
A recent survey to determine why
Americans fail to vote found that time
constraints, conflicting schedules, disability, out-of-town travel, inconvenience,
bad weather, forgot or not interested
were cited as reasons for failing to vote.
Absentee voting, extended polling hours,
pre-election balloting, and rides to the
polls, all have been implemented to mitigate personal circumstances that prevent
voting. Your local union can provide
information to assist you in utilizing these
flexible options. As far as forgetting or not
interested, ask your local union business
manager how elections affect your livelihood and job opportunities or read this
and past issues of The Ironworker. When
we do not vote and allow others to make
those decisions for us, we lose jobs!

Harold O’Shea Builders and Selvaggio Steel Inc.
are playing their part in raising breast cancer
awareness in Springfield, Illinois.
A $60.5 million medical facility, erected of pink structural steel, began going up in October 2012. October is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to
raise awareness of the disease. The facility will be home to
the new Springfield Clinic and their team of oncologists
and doctors specializing in women’s health and general
surgery and cancer treatment. The building will be part
of the Memorial Medical Center Campus in Springfield
with the space to be leased to the Springfield Clinic.
On October 25, 2012, a free breast cancer awareness event, Pink Steel: Building Strength from Within,
sponsored by the Springfield Clinic and Harold O’Shea
Builders, was held at the construction site. The event’s
name—Pink Steel—has a double meaning. While it
figuratively describes the strength within breast cancer patients and survivors, the term is also literal—the
Springfield Clinic 1st expansion will be constructed by
Selvaggio Steel of Springfield using steel beams coated
in pink. About 800 people took part in the event including doctors, nurses, construction tradesmen and breast
cancer survivors. Two structural girders were set up for
attendees and survivors to sign prior to being erected
into the structure.
“When we realized the steel would be fabricated and
erected in October and that the new facility held specialists directly involved in breast cancer detection and treatment, we knew this was a very special opportunity,” said
Tom Fitch, S.E., vice president of O’Shea. “Visibility leads
to awareness, and what’s more visible than a bright steel
structure in the middle of Springfield’s medical district?”
The Pink Steel vision was made possible by the Me-
morial Health System and Springfield Clinic working in
conjunction with Harold O’Shea Builders and Selvaggio Steel Inc. Selvaggio Steel is a local fabrication shop
employing members of Shop Local 518. All the steel was
fabricated and coated with an unusual pink rustproofing paint at the Springfield shop. All extra cost associated with the pink coating was absorbed by Selvaggio
Steel and was not passed on to Memorial Heath. Harold
O’Shea Builders is the general contractor on the project,
employing members of Local 46, for placement of concrete reinforcement and the structural steel erection of
the unique structure.
“We initially saw the request to paint the steel pink
as just another project requirement, but after taking our
employees to the event and witnessing the compassion
and fellowship displayed on the beams, I now understand the significance of ‘strength from within,’” said
Mark Selvaggio, president and owner of Selvaggio Steel.
The new facility is 4 stories and approximately 146,000
square foot, supported by two million pounds of structural
steel. At the peak of the project there were approximately
fifteen ironworkers involved in the erection and detailing of the structure. A skywalk was constructed and set

to attach the new building to an existing building across
the street. In addition to the new medical building, an attached 4-story pre-cast parking ramp was erected. The
pre-cast erection, started in April 2013, and was set out in
July 2013. Harold O’Shea Builders, with members of Iron
Workers Local 46, erected the parking structure as well.
Memorial Hospital also has a separate project currently underway, a $150 million expansion of the existing hospital. They will be adding 114 new patient rooms
consisting of three new floors added on top of an existing two story section of the hospital, adding two floors
of surgical space with six new operating rooms, removing the existing lobby to make room for a new lobby
and front entrance, and constructing a new multi-story
conference and training center. About 500 union construction jobs are predicted with the combined renovation and new construction project with Harold O’Shea
Builders as the general contractor. Harold O’Shea
Builders has been working with Springfield Clinic and
Memorial Medical Center on medical office building
projects for nearly ten years.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY:
The American Legislative Exchange Council
A
8
shadowy cabal of ultra-rich puppet masters controlling the American legislative process for their own
ends? Greedy and faithless politicians selling out the
democratic process, out of sight from the voters who
elected them to office?
Sounds like a paranoid fantasy, or the plot of a political thriller. Most of the time, it’s just that. Most elected
officials seek office because they truly want to make a
difference in their communities. They help their constituents whenever they can, although they are frequently
frustrated by the legislative process. The rich and powerful have vast influence over government, of course, but
the political action of the Iron Workers and the rest of
the labor movement ensure working people at least have
a seat at the table.
There’s one group, though, that lives up to the conspiracy theories. They exert a nationwide influence on
state politics. They operate in secret. They push bills that
harm regular people through state legislatures, and they
do it with the willing help of politicians who couldn’t
care less about their constituents. They’re called the
American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, and
they’re active in your state.
ALEC works by sharing what’s called “model legislation” with legislators across different states. These are cookie-cutter bills reflecting the interests of ALEC’s corporate
controllers. Their goal is to get these identical bills passed
into law throughout the country, and their strategy is to rely
on speed and secrecy. They push through bills before the
public has a chance to react and weigh in. They turn what
should be a transparent process into a shadowy one.
ALEC’s number one target is union workers. By
spreading laws like “right to work” that cut into union
funds from one state to the next, ALEC seeks to bleed
unions dry. Once workers have no healthcare, no pensions, no due process, no voice on the job, and lower
wages, the corporations who fund ALEC will pocket
the profits. In other words, ALEC is corporate America’s
weapon in the war on unions.
None of this would be possible without the cooperation of ALEC’s political members. These are politicians
who take their marching orders from powerful donors,
rather than constituents.
ALEC shares its model legislation at lavish retreats
around the country. Politicians are flown out to exclusive resorts, clubs and spas. They sip French Champagne
while hobnobbing with their wealthy benefactors. It’s the
very picture of decadence. While these politicians are
being wined and dined, ALEC trains them on the best
legislative techniques to force their bills into law. Policy
debates and decision making take place at these closeddoor events, rather than in public forums. The public
and the press are not invited.
Why isn’t this a national scandal? ALEC has corrupted the American political process, denying regular
citizens a say in important legislation in the most blatant
way possible. They get away with it by keeping a low profile. State politics is often ignored by the national media,
and many Americans don’t even know who their state
legislator is. The plans made at ALEC’s retreats are kept
under wraps. Most residents of a state don’t even realize
ALEC has been maneuvering a bill until after it has been
passed into law.
We don’t need to take this lying down. ALEC’s backers have more money than we can dream of, but they
don’t have the votes that organized union ironworkers
can deliver. Contributing to IPAL’s political fund helps
us fight back against ALEC’s corporate money. Volunteering during political campaigns gets boots on the
ground that ALEC can’t match. Most importantly, voting
faithless politicians out of office on Election Day keeps
elected officials honest and destroys ALEC’s power base.
Get informed. Visit www.alecexposed.org
for more information on ALEC and a list of
members. Vote for Iron Worker endorsed
candidates who will fight back for us. And,
of course, remember to go to the polls on
November 4.
THE
J
Politics OF Pipelines
ust over a decade ago, North
American energy security seemed
precarious. The American economy depended on oil imports from
third world dictatorships. Close relationships with some of the world’s
worst governments and long, costly
wars seemed like the unavoidable
price to keep our gas flowing. Consumers at the pump and businesses
across the continent were at the mercy
of international petroleum prices.
How quickly things change.
Technological innovation has led to
MYTH
Keystone XL will create only a
few “temporary” jobs.
FACT
When politicians and pundits
dismiss “temporary” jobs, they’re
dismissing you! Keystone XL
will put skilled craftsmen and
craftswomen to work during its
construction, and the oil flowing
through it will fuel permanent job
creation in the refining industry.
an energy boom in North America
as previously inaccessible oil and
gas makes it to market. We now
pull our fuel from shale and sand.
North Dakota and Alberta are now
more reliable fuel suppliers than
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
This has been good news for
workers in the construction and
fabrication sectors.
Besides work on
drill rigs, ironworkers are seeing new
work in the refining, chemical and
pharmaceutical industries as a result
of cheap energy and
precursor chemicals
becoming available.
The suddenness
of this boom has
stretched our transportation sector
thin, however. North America has
the best freight rail network in the
world, but many of our oil tanker
cars are outdated. Likewise, many of
our oil pipelines were installed decades ago. This has caused a num-
ber of high-profile spills from pipeline leaks and train derailments in
the last several years. New pipelines
are desperately needed to handle the
supply, and many are in the works.
One of the largest is Keystone XL,
an extension of an existing pipeline
that would bring oil from Canada to
refineries on the Gulf Coast.
OCTOBER 2014
|
Support for the Keystone XL
project comes from all quarters:
labor, business, and both political
parties. Majorities of voters in both
Canada and the United States support the pipeline’s construction. The
Canadian government strongly supports the pipeline as being in both
countries’ interest, but the U.S. government has been slow to respond.
Senator Mary Landrieu, a democrat from Louisiana and chair of the
U.S. Senate Committee on Energy
and Natural Resources, has pushed
aggressively to approve construction through an Act of Congress.
Senators Mark Begich (Alaska),
Kay Hagan (North Carolina) and
Mark Pryor (Arkansas) have all also
shown leadership in steering the
Democratic Party toward pipeline

MYTH
Keystone XL will cause dangerous oil spills.
FACT
Keystone XL has undergone the strictest possible safety evaluations. It will be
built using North America’s most skilled
craftsmen and craftswomen. While no
transportation method is 100 percent
secure against leaks, the U.S. Department of Energy has determined that
pipelines spill oil at a vastly lower rate
than railroad tanker cars.
approval. Unfortunately, an attempt
by these senators, along with Republican colleagues such as Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota,
to bring pipeline approval to a vote
in the U.S. Senate was foiled. Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky scrapped the deal to
prevent Senate Democrats from getting a ‘win’ during an election year.
Keystone XL is a good project
struck in a pit of political dysfunc-
tion. On the one side is
a well-funded and vocal
special interest lobby
opposing the project on ideological grounds, threatening the political survival of Democrats who
support the project. We saw this
group at work when California
billionaire Tom Steyer attacked
Iron Worker Steve Lynch in last
year’s Massachusetts U.S. Senate
primary. On the other side is a
tea-party mentality
making Republican
politicians unwillMYTH
ing to compromise
Keystone XL will contribute to climate change.
FACT
According to the United States State Department,
it won’t. The oil destined to flow through Keystone XL will get to market through trains and
other pipelines if Keystone XL isn’t built. Keystone XL will just ensure that it gets there more
safely and efficiently.

with Democrats, even on issues that
their constituents support.
We can overcome this dysfunction by voting this November 4.
Elected officials pay attention to
votes, and a strong showing by union
voters can overpower the influence of
the environmental lobby. Supporting
the senators who support the pipeline and punishing Mitch McConnell for sabotaging the deal will lead
to more jobs for ironworkers in both
the United States and Canada.

PRIMER
P
ry our water on issues affecting our
jobs and our rights. Second, they
all face the most competitive races
in the country.
This list is not exhaustive. We
don’t have space here to list every
friend of our union who is running
this year, so we have had to narrow the list to a select few. This list
only contains candidates for the
U.S. Senate and state governors.
Many elections for the U.S. House
of Representatives and other state
and local offices are just as vital,
but too numerous to include in the
magazine. Use this list as a starting
point, and contact your business
manager or central labor council
for a complete list of endorsed candidates in your area.
OCTOBER 2014
residential races in the United States offer a compelling narrative and a big show
for people across the country
to watch. Midterm elections—
when the Senate, House of Representatives, and many state and local officials stand for office, but the
President doesn’t—are harder to
follow, with a multitude of smaller
races across the country, and people tend to tune out. This is a mistake. Midterm elections have serious consequences for ironworkers
and other working people, and it
benefits us to pay attention.
We’ve compiled a list of candidates here that meet two requirements. First, they must be friends

SENATE
MARK BEGICH
The U.S. Senate is a powerful body. It approves—or rejects—trade treaties that make
the difference between jobs being created
in the U.S. or being shipped overseas. It reviews presidential appointments to agencies
determining the use of union labor on construction projects and courts that enforce
labor law. It serves as a check on radical, illconceived legislation that can get through
the House of Representatives.
In these ways and more, the U.S. Senate
affects the livelihoods of ironworkers. The
following candidates are proven friends of
working people. They face the nation’s most
difficult races, and will decide the battle for
the Senate.

GOVERNORS
While the national media usually focus
on the federal government, it’s the states
where most of the action is. State governments actually implement many of the policies that the federal government mandates,
meaning that states decide whether many government projects are built
union or nonunion. The most beneficial
and harmful laws for unions are tested in
the states.
Having the right governor in charge can
make all the difference in the quality and
quantity of work an ironworker gets. These
are candidates who will stand up for us if we
stand up for them.

In Honor of Our Long-Standing Members
General President Walter Wise, and the general executive council, salute our members with the longest years of service to the
Iron Workers International. Listed below are one hundred and thirty-eight members, with initiation dates beginning September 1936 through April 1946. With years of service to our International ranging from 68 to 78 years, we admire them for their
commitment and loyalty to our organization. These ironworkers fought to win many of the rights and protections we enjoy
today, and continue to believe in the solidarity of our union. We owe a debt of gratitude to these longstanding members, and
they can best be honored by continuing in their footsteps and fighting for our way of life and our great organization.

IRONWORKERS POLITICAL ACTION LEAGUE
Dave Kolbe
Our Votes are the Solution
U
nited States midterm
elections are right around
the corner, and ironworkers
from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico are enjoying a
constant barrage of campaign ads. We’d like to clear
the air with a brief report on what’s at stake this election for ironworkers across the United States.
The Problem: Working families
are squeezed
It’s been six years since the beginning of the
great recession. The stock market is back up and
corporations are pulling in profits. Most of us on
the ground might be forgiven for not noticing
much of a difference, though. The recovery hasn’t
touched all of us equally, and many of us are still
struggling to get by.
Ironworkers at every stage of life are feeling
the squeeze. Those of us approaching retirement
have to worry about attacks on our pensions. Retired ironworkers see their hard-earned Social
Security and Medicare benefits under constant
threat. Our kids are finding it harder to pay for
college or find work in the trades.
This trouble is extra infuriating because the
way to fix it is staring us right in the face. Our
bridges and roads are in need of repairs that
would put tradesmen and tradeswomen to work.
Congressional inaction blocks major infrastructure projects that would put food on our tables
and strengthen our pensions.
The Cause: Gridlock in Congress
Congress has the tools to get our economy
back on track, but it hasn’t used them. Congressional leadership has lost touch with the citizens
who elected them. How did this happen?
Ill-considered Supreme Court decisions over
the last several years have given corporate America vastly expanded power over the political process. Many politicians feel more accountable to
20
the privileged and powerful than to the regular
propel who elected them. These politicians make
up the tea-party caucus of Congress that has sabotaged infrastructure and jobs bills for the last
four years. Many elected officials from both parties want to work with unions to get the economy
moving again, but the tea party is determined to
block progress.
The result? A no-holds-barred assault on
workers. Tea-party governors and state legislators have taken away workers’ collective bargaining rights and job security. House Speaker John
Boehner and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
have obstructed every piece of jobs legislation
that has crossed their desks.
This assault has had drastic consequences.
The average American household has the same
income, adjusted for inflation, as it did in 1988,
despite our nation being far richer today than
it was then. The middle class has shrunk. Of
course, you don’t need to know these numbers to
sense that there is something wrong. What is to
be done?
The Solution: An economy that
works for ironworkers
We need to build an economy that serves all
Americans, not just the corporate elite. One area
that we can make progress in is closing tax loopholes for large corporations. Wall Street is running
a surplus, and it’s time for it to contribute to the
recovery. This goes double for ending tax breaks
on corporations that ship jobs overseas. The largest single killer of ironworker jobs over the last
few decades has been the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs that drive demand for both shop and
construction labor. We should use our tax policy to
give American workers a level playing field.
Most important of all are initiatives that directly impact the construction industry. We need
to fund infrastructure repair projects before another bridge collapses in an American city. The
use of project labor agreements (PLAs) on public
construction projects needs to increase to give
union contractors a fair shot. The same goes for
prevailing wage on the federal, state and local
level to keep our wages at a decent level.
You know what I’m going to say next. These
solutions are only possible if we get out and vote!
If the problem is out-of-touch politicians, we
need to use our electoral muscle to bring them
back in line. At the same time, elected officials
who have stood up for us in the past need our
support. We’re all responsible for voting on Election Day. Contact your business manager for a
list of endorsed candidates who will be accountable to working people and bring your families to
the polls on November 4.
Working families throughout the
United States have faced tough
times and continue to struggle
from the decade long erosion of
the middle class. Our union is our
voice and most powerful tool to
stop the decline, bring about lasting
change, and improve the lives of
our families and communities.

SAFETY & HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORT
Steven Rank
Protecting Floor and Roof Opening
U
nprotected floor and
roof openings have
contributed to many fatal
falls and serious injuries to
our members throughout the
United States and Canada. This article highlights
common hazards and safe practices associated with
work activities around floor and roof openings. The
International Association’s “2014 ZERO Fatality”
campaign targets the “deadly dozen hazards” that
includes falls through unprotected floor and roof
openings. In some cases, the improper installation
and removal of temporary floor coverings has been
the primary causation factors in workplace incidents.
22
Recognizing Floor Opening Fall Hazards
The photograph on
the left illustrates an unprotected floor opening
that can commonly occur
during the steel erection
process on multi-story or
single-story structures. In many cases, it is necessary
to remove or leave out decking sheets at/or between
columns to perform moment connection welding,
bolting and inspection activities.
However, fall hazards pertaining to floor openings and covers continue to be one of the “deadly
dozen” hazards that must be recognized
and avoided to prevent reoccurrence.
During the bidding and pre-planning
stages, it is important for the steel erection contractor to recognize potential
fall hazards at temporary floor openings and provide the proper protection.
Ironworkers must be provided with the
appropriate floor opening covers, such
as plywood, planking or barricade systems. Additionally, the employer must ensure all employees on
the erection floor are provided proper instruction
pertaining to the installation and removal of floor
opening covers. Specific safety requirements and
procedures must be implemented to prevent fall
hazards to all ironworkers on the erection floor.
In the photograph below, there are several safety
issues that must be highlighted. The improper use
and installation of plywood between columns can
provide a “false sense of security” and create fall
hazards.
Improper Floor Opening Covers
• The plywood is improperly positioned and installed that allowed
a continuous exposed floor
opening between columns.
• The plywood does not have sufficient bearing and was placed over welding lead and the
cutting torch hose.
• The lack of pre-planning failed to provide enough plywood sheets between the columns.
• The plywood is not labeled ““HOLE” or “COVER” to provide warning of the hazard.
• If plywood is used as a temporary floor opening cover,
it must be clearly labeled and meet the strength requirements established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Note: Strength requirements
for temporary floor opening covers may vary from the
Federal OSHA Subpart M – Fall Protect standard and
more stringent requirements contained in state-approved
OSHA plans or project safety requirements.
Proper Labeling and Strength Requirements
1. The following are specific Federal OSHA requirements
pertaining to floor opening covers.
2. Covers shall be capable of supporting, without failure, at least
twice the weight of employees,
equipment and materials that may
be imposed on the cover at any one
time.
3. All covers shall be secured
when installed so as to prevent accidental displacement by the wind,
equipment or employees.
4. All covers shall be color coded or they shall be marked with the
word “HOLE” or “COVER” to provide warning of the hazard.
Hazard Access Zones Used as Alternative
Protection System
One of the innovative systems currently used in
California, Arizona and Nevada to protect temporary
floor and roof openings are “Hazard Access Zones.”
This system utilizes a cone and rail system to prevent
access to opening where work is being performed.
The use of typical plywood and planking may be the
best materials and method for many jobsite situations. However, material handling injuries and improper installation and removal has contributed to
many incidents. The following photograph illustrates
the use of a “Hazard Access Zone” around columns
where floor decking
was removed to allow ironworkers to
access and perform
moment connection
welding, inspection
and other activities. Note: The use
of this alternative
protection system
is not intended to meet OSHA regulatory requirements for common “barricade systems.”
1. The cones are placed six feet from the temporary
floor opening to prevent access by other ironworkers
on the erection floor.
2. The cones are connected by extendable rails that are
designed with round locking rings that slide over the
top of the cones.
3. This system is easily installed and removed without
the exposure to material handing injuries when using
heavy sheets of plywood and planking.
New
New
The photograph above illustrates the “Hazard
Access Zone” and use of cone and rails positioned
around an exposed roof opening where ironworkers
were performing work. It is important for our steel
erection contractors and members throughout the
United States and Canada to recognize and avoid
potential fall hazards that are created around floor
and roof openings.
The “Hazard Access Zone” using cone and rail
systems has been successfully used for millions of
man-hours to protect ironworkers from fall hazards
around temporary floor and roof openings. The International Association is currently working with
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) to formally recognize this alternative system to protect our members from fall hazards.
The International Association will continue our
“2014 ZERO FATALITY CAMPAIGN” to prevent
workplace fatalities in the field and shop. This goal challenges all members to “See Something—Say Something,” to help recognize and avoid workplace hazards
pertaining to floor and roof openings. I will continue
to work closely with district councils, local unions
and IMPACT regional advisory boards throughout the United States and Canada to
help improve safety performance. If
I can provide any assistance, please
contact me at the Safety and Health
Department at (800) 368-0105.

APPRENTICESHIP DEPARTMENT REPORT
Lee Worley
Apprentice Tracking System
& New Membership Card
T
24
he Ironworkers Online
Apprentice
Tracking
System (ATS) was launched
in 2008. General President
Walter Wise’s (then General
Secretary) vision, was to develop a secure database
that would store member information, training records, certifications, work hours and dues status for
every Iron Worker member. This important data
demonstrates our union’s commitment to training,
and the superior qualifications of our members.
Entering member training and certifications into
the database is the responsibility of every apprenticeship coordinator. Over the past six years, local union
coordinators had the ability to enter these records
as they were completed, as well as any historical
records that could be verified with
proper documentation. Work hour
and employer data is uploaded from
the local union fringe fund office on
a regular basis. The International enters training records for instructors
that have taken classes at the regional
training centers and the Iron Workers
Instructor Training Program. The ATS
is only useful if this data is being entered and
up to date in the system.
Until now, member training information and data in the ATS has only been accessible to the local apprentice coordinators. That
is all about to change! The new membership cards
have each been equipped with a unique Quick Response (QR) Code that is linked to each members
training transcript in the ATS. The QR code reader
is a free app downloadable for most smartphones,
tablets and other electronic devices that have Internet capabilities. The member or contractor will now
have instant real time access to verify classes taken
and certifications held, simply by scanning the code
with a QR reader. This includes all records recorded
in the ATS such as apprentice classes, technical and
safety certifications, journeyman upgrading classes,
and welding certifications issued under the IW/
AWS Welder Certification Program.
The ATS is considered a live site, meaning that as
soon as training or certification records are entered
into the ATS, the member’s data is updated and
available instantly. The QR code will allow employers or members to access these real time records at
any time as long as they have an Internet connection. You will no longer have to wait to contact the
training center during regular business hours in
order to verify a member’s training records. Instant
access to this information will help members secure
employment and prevent other crafts from taking
our work. It will also help the union hall in finding
and dispatching qualified members. Employers will
save time and money by avoiding duplicative training and avoiding costly delays.
Finally, this system demonstrates to our
employers and customers the significance
of our commitment to provide training
to our members, not only as apprentices,
but throughout their careers. This commitment will provide them confidence
that the Ironworkers can, and
will have the capacity to man
their projects with qualified
craftsman now and in the future.
It is important that you
take a few moments to use
your new membership card to
access and verify your personal
information
and your training records in the ATS
are up to date and accurate. For corrections regarding personal information, contact your local union
hall. For corrections or additions to training records,
contact the local union
training center where
you received the training. Training coordinators can only enter training records with proper
documentation.
Take
the time to make sure
your training records are
up to date; your next job
may depend on it.

am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of
Brother John J. Wade at the age of 103. John took
great pride in his longevity as being the “senior”
member of the Iron Workers Union, receiving book
number 127296 and spanning a record 85 years of
membership from October 1, 1928. Over 1.3 million
ironworkers have been initiated since Brother Wade
took his oath of membership.
John represented the Iron Workers and all workers
in a variety of positions with Local 373, Perth
Amboy, New Jersey, the Building Trades, the
New Jersey State AFL-CIO and the New Jersey
Department of Labor. Working men and women
have much to owe to the efforts of John J. Wade.
But it is not as much as the number of years as
it was what John did with those years that we all
remember. He took the lessons learned during
the Great Depression and committed himself to
improving the lives of his brethren ironworkers.
Thank you, John, for helping to build our great
union.
Please join with me in a moment of silence and
respect for this great ironworker.
