Why Politics
K
ey Performance Indicator #8
concerns political action, and
for a performance target asks
local unions to have 100% of eligible
voters registered and voting. We all
realize many of our ancestors fought
and died so we can participate in
free elections; but all too often, this
precious gift is squandered away by
apathy or not understanding the
power we possess as voters.
JOSEPH HUNT
What is the importance of
General President
politics to ironworkers and why is
it included as a measurement of
how effective a local union is? Here
are a few reasons. Federal, state,
provincial, and local governments are
the largest construction consumers in
the building trades industry. Almost
one-third of construction
contracts originate at

sewage treatment plants,
schools, locks and dams,
military bases, wind
turbines, jails, monuments and
many others. Add to the picture that
the government controls much of
the private sector construction by
providing loans and grants, and you
begin to realize governments are the
largest employers of ironworkers in
North America.
Who wins these government
contracts? Many times an elected
official makes the decision between
the fair union contractor and the
nonunion contractor. As a union,
which candidates we support and
“
’’
you and your family vote for,
makes a difference. There are
also many other governmentdecided issues having a direct
impact on our everyday lives as
ironworkers. Consider workers’
compensation, health and safety
laws, unemployment benefits,
international trade agreements
such as NAFTA or CAFTA, pension
laws and much more.
Never forget that elections
are contests. Unfortunately, in
the spending contest, labor
unions are at a distinct monetary
disadvantage. While it is true that
through your contributions to IPAL
we raise enough money to make
our voice heard, the fact is, we will
never outspend the corporations.
But their five-to-one advantage in
dollars means nothing if everyone
of us goes to the poll with a clear
understanding of where the candidates stand on ironworker issues.
Politics is not a spectator sport
where we can sit back and let others
decide our future ability to make a
decent living. It is within our power
to elect enough friends of labor in
the 2008 elections to shape the
policies affecting ironworkers for
generations to come. I am proud to
say our organization has one of the
largest voter turnout percentages
in the AFL-CIO, but we can do even
better. The reasons are apparent;
the need is great and you have the
power to shape our future. All you
need to do is exercise it.

General President Joseph Hunt looks on as Illinois Senator Barack Obama addresses 2,500 building trades delegates. Senator Obama
has been one of the most successful candidates when it comes to raising money, running neck and neck with Senator Clinton.
Iron Workers Ready for the
National Legislative Conference of the
Building and Construction Trades
he 2007 Building and Construction
Trades Legislative Conference
started off on an extremely positive
note with every U.S. Representative
testifying to the fact that union labor
was the deciding factor in the last
election returning both houses of
congress to Democratic majorities.
Following the plenary session,
2
two workshops were held. The
first workshop was a discussion
of legislative issues in the 110th
Congress; including the DavisBacon Act and its application to
federal infrastructure programs,
immigration, trade, climate change
policy, 1099 misclassification and
recent NLRB decisions. The focus was
on how building trades’ members can
influence their outcome in Congress.
The second workshop was a review
of the Pension Protection Act (PPA),
giving a summary of how it will affect
the multiemployer plans used by all
the building trades. The workshop
also reviewed some of the proposals
for universal health care coverage

dedicated to the building trades
rally for American workers. The
delegates were bused from the
Washington Hilton to the West
Lawn of the Capitol. The gathering
sent a message to our congressional
leaders that labor is alive and well,

and we intend to have an even
greater impact on Congress in the
upcoming elections. After the rally,
the delegates dispersed to offices of
every senator and representative to
carry the message that they will be
held accountable for their vote on
the issues in Congress affecting the
ability of building trades workers to
earn a living wage.
Their efforts were concentrated
on four very important topics. First,
Davis-Bacon must be included in all
federal infrastructure legislation.
Davis-Bacon is too important to allow
it to be watered down. The second
issue was trade and globalization. U.S
trade policy is killing the American

the most impressive of all the speeches given by the presidential hopefuls.
workers’ ability to make a living. We
expect Congress to oppose granting
President Bush any further Fast Track
Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) and
defeat any agreements based on the
failed NAFTA/CAFTA models. Third,
Congress needs to address the growing
problem of misclassifying workers as
independent contractors. Not only is it
unfair to honest contractors, but it is
allowing the fleecing of America as this
underground economy avoids workers’
compensation coverage, unemployment
insurance and state and local taxes. The
last issue was asking Congress to adopt
realistic goals for emissions’ reduction
allowing for the federal government to
partner with industry to find solutions
and create American jobs without
undermining our economy.
The third and final day was dedicated to the presidential forum.
Massachusetts Congressman Stephen F. Lynch addresses the crowed during the building trades rally for American workers held on the
West Lawn of the Capitol. Congressman Lynch (D-9th/MA) is also a member of Iron Workers Local 7 in Boston. When asked about his
ironworking background, he says, “once an iron worker always an iron worker.”

Construction Trades
General President Joseph Hunt confers with Iron Worker Political and
Legislative Representative Dave Kolbe during the building trades rally for
American workers on the Capitol lawn.
Three Republican and six
Democratic primary candidates
for President of the United States
responded to an invitation to
speak. At the end of the day there
was no doubt every candidate
had tremendous respect for how
important building trades’ support
will be in the ensuing election.
The candidates were U.S. Rep.
Pe t e r K i n g (R-3rd / NY), U.S.
Rep. John Boehner (R-8th / OH),
former U.S. Sen. John Edwards
(D-NC), New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson (D), U.S. Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton (D-NY), U.S. Sen.
Chuck Hagel, (R-NE), U.S. Sen.
Christopher Dodd (D-CT), U.S. Sen.
Joseph Biden (D-DE), and U.S. Sen.
Barack Obama (D-IL).

Are You Paying Your Fair Share?
In recent years, huge sums of money poured into the campaigns of ultra-conservative
candidates by the political action committees (PACs) of corporations, trade associations and
the right wing have had enormous impact on election results.
Their PACs outnumber labor PACs 10-1. Their funding runs nearly 5-1 ahead of our funding.
In other words, for every dollar labor PACs are able to contribute to help our endorsed
candidates, corporate PACs are able to contribute $5 for their candidates.
PAC Contributions
$20,000
This disparity applies to elections at all levels.
There is a way to reverse this trend, a method of fund-raising making it possible
to keep pro-worker candidates competitive with the anti-worker candidates of
opposition PACs.
This method is check-off of voluntary political contributions by members to their
union PACs. Political check-off can achieve the objectives set for it – not to match
opposition PACs dollar for dollar (we can’t equal their resources), but to keep our
candidates in the ballpark.
Below is a list of all local unions currently using check-off. Also included is a list
of the local unions not participating in the check-off program.

THE IRONWORKER
COMET Train-the-Trainer Course Participants
Train the Trainer Course Held at
National Fund Regional Training Center
A COMET (Construction Organizing Membership Education
Training) Train-the-Trainer course
for ironworkers was conducted
at the National Ironworker and
Employer Apprenticeship Training
and Journeyman Upgrading Fund’s
Regional Training Center in Benicia,
California, March 6-8, 2007.
The California and Vicinity
District Council President Joe
Standley visited and spoke to the
group of twenty ironworkers, who
represented 10 different shop and
field locals. Locals 75 (Phoenix), 118
(Sacramento), 155 (Fresno, Calif.), 229
(San Diego), 377 (San Francisco), 378
(Oakland, Calif.), 416 (Los Angeles),
JUNE 2007
509 (Los Angeles), 624 (Fresno,
Calif.) and 790 (San Francisco) each
sent at least one ironworker, who will
return to their home local to conduct
COMET courses and spread the
word of the Iron Worker mission to
“Organize or Die.”
The course included sessions on
industry trends, the union’s mission,
our founder’s wisdom, collective
bargaining strength, what went right,
and what went wrong, the choices
we face, and why we organize. One
practice presentation was given in
Spanish by an organizer who works
hard to bring all qualified ironworkers
into the union. Current union market
share, percentage organized, and
national and local demographics were
reviewed during the course. When
asked “Who will organize the supply
of skilled labor?” – the overwhelming
response by this group was “We will.”
Any ironworker, who has not had the
opportunity to attend this important
course, is encouraged to do so as
soon as possible. The instructors for
this course included National Fund
trainers Frank Piccione and Dick
Zampa, as well as General Organizer
Don Zampa.
The COMET Train-the-Trainer
course will be offered at the Annual
Ironworker Instructor Training Program
held at the University of San Diego
during the week of July 15, 2007.

APPRENTICESHIP & TRAINING DEPARTMENT REPORT
by Mike White
OSHA 500 Course
Held for Contractors
A
n OSHA 500 course was
recently held for contractors
at the training facility for Local
Unions 416 and 433 in Las Vegas.
The OSHA 500 course is a 40-hour
train-the-trainer course focusing on
OSHA standards for the construction
industry. What made this course
unique was that the participants
included representatives from Iron
Worker signatory contractors and
was conducted over a long weekend
to limit the time away from work.
There were 21 participants in
this OSHA 500 course that included
a Disaster Site Worker train-thetrainer component. Participants
must have had five years of
construction safety experience.
Participants are now authorized
to conduct the OSHA 10 and 30hour courses in construction safety
and health, in accordance with
guidelines provided by the OSHA
Office of Training and Education. In
addition, the Disaster Site Worker
train-the-trainer component of the
course prepared the trainers to
demonstrate proper respirator use
to disaster site workers.
Participants demonstrated their
learning competencies by:
·
·
·
·
Identifying common causes of
accidents in hazardous areas
of construction.
Identifying abatement
techniques for hazards found
in construction.
Donning and doffing an airpurifying respirator.
Passing a final test.
Dick Zampa makes a presentation during the OSHA
500 course.

After completing the course,
participants received certification
cards from the National Training
Fund and OSHA.
Contractors represented included Steel Engineers Inc. (a
reinforcing employer) and SME Inc.
(a structural employer). Other
participants included business
agents, organizers, instructors,
foremen and journeyman. A
retired operating engineer, who is

SAFETY AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORT
by Frank Migliaccio
Hexavalent Chromium (CrVI)
A
re you exposed to welding
fumes? If so, you should be
aware of potential hexavalent
chromium (CrVI) exposures.
Inhalation of CrVI during welding
occurs as a fume, a type of metal
particle. Potential adverse health
effects associated with CrVI
exposures include lung cancer,
asthma, and damage to the nasal
epithelia and skin.
On February 28, 2006, the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) published
the final Hexavalent Chromium
(CrVI) Standard. Three separate
standards covering occupational
exposures to CrVI were published,
including general industry,
shipyards, and construction.
The Permissible Exposure Limit
(PEL) was lowered to 5 ug/m3 in
all 3 versions. OSHA estimates
there are approximately 558,000
workers exposed to CrVI, of
which 352,000 are exposed above
the Action Level of 2.5 ug/m3,
and 68,000 above the PEL.
There are about 30 major
industries and processes where
CrVI is used. These include
producers of chromates and
related chemicals from chromate
ore, electroplating, welding,
painting, chromate pigment
production and use, steel mill, and
iron and steel foundries. Welding,
especially on stainless steel, is one
of the main applications where
CrVI exposures may occur.
Fumes generated from the
welding of stainless steel may
contain a mixture of chromium
compounds, including hexavalent
chromium. The welding processes
JUNE 2007
expected to generate the highest
CrVI exposures are shielded
metal arc welding (SMAW) and
gas metal arc welding (GMAW).
It’s estimated that CrVI accounts
for approximately 4% of the total
chromium content in GMAW
fumes and up to 50% of chromium content in SMAW fumes.
Other types of welding, such as
tungsten-arc welding (TIG) and
submerged arc welding (SAW),
may also present exposure
concerns. However, these processes generally present lower
fume volumes in comparison to
SMAC and GMAW.
Where engineering and work
practice controls are not sufficient
to reduce exposures below the
PEL, the use of respiratory
protection is required. An
example of engineering controls
could be the use of an exhaust
fan.
For most welding applications,
a NIOSH approved N95 particle
filter is recommended. An R95
or P95 rated filter is required in
environments where oil mist is
present. High efficiency particle
filters, such as N100 or P100, may
also be used. Either a disposable
particulate respirator — also
called a filtering face piece,
or a re-useable half face piece
respirator with replaceable
filter, may be used. Both types
offer protection up to 10X the
PEL (50ug/m3). A higher level
of respiratory protection that
includes a full face piece negative
pressure respirator or positive
pressure system may also be
used for welding.
Employers using respiratory
protection for CrVI must comply
with all requirements of OSHA
1910.134, including, but not
limited to, medical evaluation,
training, and fit testing, prior to
using respirators. Also, employers
who have employees that are
or may be exposed to CrVI
are covered by this standard.
The employer’s first step is
determining whether or not this
affects the workers. If it does,
air monitoring is needed and
must be performed by qualified
individuals using sampling and
analytical methods specified by
OSHA.
OSHA has allowed additional
time to install and develop
effective engineering controls
for companies affected by the
standard. All employers must
be in full compliance with
engineering control requirements
by February 28, 2010. If substation
of less hazardous processes and/
or products can be done, this
would be the most effective way
to eliminate or control a hazard.

DAVIS-BACON / WAGE COMPLIANCE
as provided by IMPACT
by Christopher Burger
New Study:
Prevailing Wage Law
Does Not Raise Costs on
Public Construction
Another academic study has
found that paying construction
workers the prevailing wage
does not raise costs on public
works projects.
While benefiting low-road
private contractors, the study
found that states that drop their
prevailing wage laws:
·
·
·
·
·
·
Increase project cost
over-runs
Increase injury rates
Reduce construction
worker wages
Reduce state tax revenues
Weaken their
apprenticeship programs
Weaken the position of
women and minorities
The study, “An Evaluation of
Prevailing Wage in Minnesota
Implementation, Comparability,
and Outcomes,” was conducted
in part to provide data to
the state’s legislative auditor.
Many of the study’s findings
were backed up in a February
5 report by that office, which
recommended that the state
step up enforcement of these
laws.
The study reports that the
lion’s share of “the evidence
seems to suggest that prevailing
wage has no significant impact
on total project cost.” Public
projects remain costlier than
private projects, whether covered
by prevailing wage or not. “If it
is true,” write the study authors,
“that prevailing wage has no
significant impact on total cost,
then weakening or repealing
prevailing wage laws clearly
will not reduce total costs on
state projects and may actually
increase them.” This is well
worth remembering.
Conducted by Lisa Jordan,
Ph. D., an Associate Professor
and Director of Business and
Organizational Leadership at
Brevard College, the study also
had contributions from Robert
Bruno, Ph.D at University of
Illlinois, Tony Sindone, Ph.D.
at Indiana University, and Phil
Schrader, Research Assistant at
the University of Minnnesota.
In the May issue of The
Ironworker, you can find the
wage scales of outside local
unions. We appreciate the
continued assistance of all locals
in supplying the information
in a timely way. The next
deadline will be September
28 for the November issue. In
the meantime, I’d like to again
remind all locals that we always
are looking for:
(1) Your current wage and
fringe benefit sheet.
(2) Your collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
with a signature. When
you have a new CBA or a
wage update, please send
a copy to both the DOL
and this office.
When the time comes that
the federal Department of Labor
is conducting wage surveys in
your region, locals must get the
required information as soon as
possible to them before the cutoff date in order to get your rates
established as the prevailing
wage. We will continue to work
with you in alerting you to this
process.

THE IRONWORKER
Project
Tracking
IMPACT, the Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust, developed
customized project tracking systems to help Iron
Worker local unions and signatory contractor associations (SCAs) identify and bid work ahead of
the competition.
These two internet-based project tracking
systems can also play a key role in helping local
unions achieve the goals set in the new Strategic
Plan’s Key Performance Indicator (KPI) 7. To secure more work for local unions and contractors,
KPI 7 directs local unions to establish a market
recovery fund and use the project tracking systems on a weekly basis.
IMPACT supplied free laptop computers to its signatory local unions to help their business representatives identify and bid commercial, industrial and maintenance projects in the United States and Canada
early in the bidding process.
IMPACT-TRAC is a customized version of McGraw-Hill Construction’s Dodge Reports. It provides daily
updates on projects and companies. The service is provided free of charge to IMPACT local unions and
SCAs. In April, IMPACT negotiated a 90% discount to offer the service to individual signatory contractors.
IMPACT-Direct, developed by Industrial Information Resources, features data from 12 industrial markets, and includes daily updates on new projects and refinery status reports. The service details scheduled
and unscheduled outages and shut-downs at powerplants and generating units. IMPACT local unions and
SCAs receive the service free of charge. Individual signatory contractors receive a 50% discount for this
service under a new agreement reached in March.
Keith Hughes, president and business agent from Local 549 in Wheeling, W.V., says he uses e-mail and
telephone calls to keep his signatory contractors abreast of the jobs out for bid, especially the smaller projects. “The system is also a very helpful tool for our organizer to allow him to get started on turning projects
around in the early stages,” says Hughes.
William Ligetti, executive director of the Ironworker Employers Association of Western Pennsylvania, says he conducts daily reviews of IMPACT-Direct’s features, “Today’s Industrial News” and the PEC
Alerts.
“If I notice any information or projects that are of value to my members, I forward copies of the pertinent
information,” says Ligetti. “I have received feedback from some of my members stating they would not have
known or followed a particular project unless receiving the information I forwarded. Another value which
I have noticed is that there are projects listed on the sites that are not traditional industrial projects such
as research facilities at universities, and other commercial projects related to industrial owners.”
David Fuson, IMPACT’s Technology Programs manager, arranged training sessions earlier this year
at the New Officers Training Seminar and during the Building Trades’ Legislative Conference. A training
session for Local 8 in Milwaukee is scheduled for May 29. To schedule a training session, contact Fuson at

Mr. Joseph Hunt
Re: The Ironworker- January/February 2007 Editions.
Mr. Hunt,
As a long time unionized contractor, I wish to express my congratulations to the Ironworker Union for your pro-active position in dealing
with our loss of unionized workers and market share.
It is my opinion that we still have choices. We can all continue along like there are no problems, which will ultimately cost both the
Contractors and the Union our business and livelihoods, or we can face the facts you presented in the January edition of the Ironworker
magazine and work together towards improving our current position in the construction industry.
I feel it is time for new initiatives to be brought forward and a new spirit of cooperation to be developed that will allow us to face our
problems together and reverse a trend that has been developing over the past many years.
I can honestly and openly attest to the fact that in the market I work, the Ironworkers are the most highly thought of group of unionized
construction workers. This being said I do not think we can afford to rest on our laurels. When talking to our owners I note that most do not
mind paying a premium for our workers, as they should be able toe expect a highly qualified, competent and experienced workforce. What
they do not like is our inability to deal with productivity and discipline issues and I believe this is a key area where Contractors and Union
representatives should be able to work together towards a “common good” resolution.
I would also suggest and hope that you might consider having your unionized contractors participate in the “Key Performance Indicators”
survey. I feel that sometimes outside input can be of some help in determining strengths and weaknesses. I would also suggest that if
Contractors were allowed to participate in such a survey that a second survey of unionized Contractors strengths and weaknesses be developed.
Once again, I believe we are partners in the construction industry. We need each other and should work together towards improvements.
Yours truly,
Ross Fraser, General Manager

Dear Sir and Brother:
Once again the “Hunt Team” has shown their creativity and given the Locals a tremendous opportunity.
It is my opinion that the “probationary member program” provides great flexibility from several approaches. Locals that open their
minds and intelligently initiate this program will contribute tremendously to its success.
I can assure you that Local 395 will make all the necessary language changes and adjustments to begin implementing this immediately.
We greatly appreciate the efforts you have shown to re-establish this once great and powerful Union back to our rightful position in the
labor movement.

THOUGHTS FROM
A
MEMBER
Joseph J. Hunt, General President
Suite 400
1750 New York Avenue, N.W.
April 24, 2007
Dear Sir and Brother,
I have just finished reading the April edition of the Ironworker Magazine in which you recommended the elimination of the permit
system in our local unions. Finally, someone with the nerve to make the hard decisions.
For many years the permit system has been abused by the local unions and has been one of the biggest obstacles to the recruitment and
retention of quality apprentices. When applicants or apprentices learn that others are being issued permits and are working for journeyman wages, they become discouraged. Some have even left the program in anticipation of being given a permit.
It is quite obvious that it is unfair to apprentices that semi-skilled workers are being paid journeyman wages while the apprentice
works for less and must attend related and supplemental instruction classes. Considering how unfair this system has been to our journeyman and to our signatory contractors that are required to pay the journeyman wage plus benefits for unskilled or semi-skilled workers, this
change is long overdue. To simply remove the permit hands would result in them seeking employment with non-union contractors doing
exactly what they had been trained in the field to do.
I am acutely aware of how difficult this change will be to implement, it brings to mind the stories I heard from O.C. Yancy, Jim Willis
and Ray Robertson about the exploits of “Hardesty’s Raiders.” To put it mildly, it wasn’t easy to convince the executive boards of the various
locals to eliminate permits and give membership to those previously on permit.
Good luck with this new policy. You are to be commended for addressing a long standing problem within our organization.
Fraternally,
Richard Sowers, Retired

In Memory of a Great Ironworker, My Dad
E.J. “Pat” Patterson
Local 28 (Richmond, Virg.)
By Wanda Patterson Clarke, Daughter
He was an ironworker, strong and tall
Always a father first and good friend to all.
He was a great father in everyway
Walked many a steel beam and dependable everyday.
He worked for B&B Erectors many years
Whitey Belcher he loved as a boss and a friend he held dear.
He showed partiality to none
Known to fire a brother and a son.
You look around and can see many structures he built
He built them with pride and had no guilt.
There are his sons and grandchildren doing ironwork now
I know he’s hoping they will take the same vow.
A son is now the B.A.
I know he is really proud of him today.
He had respect but showed no fear
In the too short 48 years he was here.
He provided for his family and worked everyday
Never a complaint, just off to work and on his way.
Out of town, sometimes and his family he missed
But he done it so they could have the things they wished.
He proudly wore the B&E Erectors old metal hat
You from the old school will remember that.
He had to carry nitro pills at all times
But he was up and ready for work on a dime.
A greater friend and father, there will never be
Because the mold was broken when he was made you see.
He was on his way to work, the day he died
I know he felt bad, but he put that aside.
He hung up his tools in 1974
Called to heaven to build some more.
He will never be forgotten.
Men of Steel
By Suzanne DeBlasie, wife of Anthony DeBlasie,
Local 361 (Brooklyn)
Ironworkers strong and proud
Climbing buildings as tall as clouds
Bridges spanning across waterways
Working outside on the coldest days
Moving steel with great ease
Swinging around as if on trapeze
Tightening bolts with wrench in hand
Sure with their feet wherever they stand
Like poetry connecting words
Up on structures perched like birds
Joining together puzzle-like pieces
Their ambition never ceases
History changes as they go
With their help cities will grow
And for every bit of its worth
They leave their mark
On this Earth.

In Tribute and Memory to all the Ironworkers Everyone
By Don McCullough (deceased),
Local 720 (Edmonton, Alberta)
Hard red iron that hawks wheel by
Bridges that spanned the West’s mighty streams,
Towering columns and long narrow beams.
The gods are gone, the structures are mute
The prairie wind moans its long sad salute.
A song to the men who jingled with living,
A dirge to a job so unforgiving.
Blood on the steel is the standard price,
To the widows and kids there’s cold bitter rice.
I was lucky, I know to have seen the day,
When the dream of my youth was reality.
To have known the freedom that eagles feel,
On the wild high lonesome, the world of steel.
‘Twas fourty-four years from start to end,
And now that it’s over, this wish, my friend.
Let me see it once more, before I die,
The high red iron and the wild blue sky.
Men of Iron
By Loretta North, wife of Robert North,
Local 27 (Salt Lake City)
Step, step, step, step, the sound of my boots striking metal
through the early morning mist as I ascend upward
and I remind myself that I am an ironworker.
I walk the narrow beams every day to help erect elevated
buildings and supports for the bridges that span the waters.
I get holes in my clothes, burns to my skin, calloused hands,
my shoulders ache and my arms tire.
My mind and soul are highly wired as I climb upward toward
God’s open hands. So upward I climb to heights that reach
the mountain tops and the clouds call out to me.
I hear the whisper of the wind and then the roar of a
thunder cloud. I shake from the bitter cold and sweat
under such blistering heat.
I climb higher still and I rise above “old glory” fluttering in
the breeze like a butterfly from atop a tall building.
I climb a little further with an energy that works so silently.
Climbing higher still I feel a strange danger in the air.
I think about falling and the earth below seems to race up
to meet me. At last my mission is accomplished
and I reach out for eternity. I shake hands with God
and he drops a ladder of sunshine for my descent.
Beholding this skyscraper marvel I stand transfixed
knowing that tomorrow I will climb again.

Just three days after my arrival
Daddy fought for my survival
Back to work to provide for me
He risked his life so such could be
Me at home in Mommy’s arm
Away from trouble, away from harm
So I could stay at home and play
Daddy risked his life again today
Every day to make me smile
Mile after endless mile
Daddy comes home to kiss my cheek
Even if I’m fast asleep
An Ironworker, a husband, and my daddy too
A decent man through and through
I love you Daddy for providing for me
And being the best a Daddy can be
I love you Daddy-Love Savannah

A Ballad to an Ironworker’s Magnificence
By Anonymous
Submitted by Ron Collins, Local 433 (Los Angeles)
I was born in a mountain of red iron ore
Raised in a furnace by the blast and roar
Got no time for sleeping, give me a whip and hood
With hot steel soup I’ll weld a canyon that holds so good!
Mighty Joe, Mighty Joe, Mighty Joe Macarac
Red hot steel running in my back.
Mighty Joe, Mighty Joe Macarac
I was sent on a crew with nine good men
And had the rig eating out of my hand
But the blasted operator couldn’t get enough
So I jump right in, I’m made that tough.
If you doubt my word, call me a liar!
When you play with me, you play with fire
I’m solid steel and the universe knows
If you’re so tired of giving, just step on my toes.
Now when you see a building climb a mile high,
You see a bridge leap across the sky.
There’s a little bit of steel, but a whole lot of man
In every girder, in every span.

To My “Dumb Ironworker” Dad
Happy 62nd Birthday
By Trena Hitzelberger, daughter of Terry Hitzelberger,
Local 16 (Baltimore)
When I was little, I never thought of you
as a ‘dumb ironworker.’
You worked hard and came home dirty.
You were quick with math and silly jokes.
You supported us and encouraged us to pursue our dreams.
When I was in college, I never thought of you
I hoped you were proud of me for going to Loyolafor being the first in our family to earn a degree
(and for all of the scholarships).
I hoped you were proud of my chosen profession
and would brag to your friends about your daughter,
“The Teacher.”
When I brought my 1st house, I never thought of you
You were the first one I called to ask your opinion.
You used your talents and trade to help transform
the house into our home.
When I was married, I never thought of you
I was proud to walk down the aisle on your arm
and dance with you to Daddy’s Little Girl
(though it wasn’t the same as standing on your feet
as you danced me around when I was small).
I was happy that God blessed me with a husband
who love and respected my Dad for the person you are –
a friend, a mentor, a Dad.
I prayed my marriage would endure as yours and Mom’s has.
When I became a mother, I never thought of you
You are “Little Pop” and you play a special part
in the lives of my girls.
You are loving and generous with your time and gifts.
You were a loved ironworker - a good ironworker –
a respected ironworker.
I grew up with the love and support
of two wonderful parents.
I can’t think of any other “Retired Ironworker”
that I’d rather have as my Dad, than you.
Thank you for all that you are and all that you do!
THE IRONWORKER
Poems
Traveling the World of Iron
By Josephine Marie, wife of Paul Pastuck, Local 700 (Windsor, Ontario)
He was merely a pup when he boomed out of his home;
It was in his blood --- he had an urge to roam.
By the middle of the sixties his life took on aim
He become a Journeyman --- red iron was his game.
He boomed in west Canada, there were many jobs to be done;
He found in his travels that hard work could be fun,
He liked learning from pros who taught him countless new things,
Steadfast on top of high iron --- they had earned their wings.
His wanderlust ways took him to parts of the states,
Booming in, up and down, booming out through the gates.
California, Colorado, Penn State, and New York,
The Big Boom was on and he was willing to work.
Tall buildings, long bridges, high trestles and towers;
He worked on them all to help build this land of ours.
Hard work – you know it; Complain –seldom if ever;
Proud men of the iron can face all kinds of weather.
He looks the job over --- safety is prime from the start,
Protecting himself and his Brothers, life is precious to his heart.
He’s some thirty years older with feet on solid ground,
And although times have changed a lot he still booms around.
He’s one of the pros, like who he learned from as a lad;
When a younger Bro’ asks him to share his experience he’s glad.
Some learn from his knowledge and he also shows a knot
They never knew existed and ask if they be taught.
The ‘70’s “gold rush” is over, that Big Boom is long gone,
But every so often he still encounters one Boomer (on a Shutdown)
who asks “Don’t I know you?”
It doesn’t happen often ‘cause now Boomers so few.
They name off some locals, they recall the job site,
They jaw for a while and plan to hook up that night.
They meet at a tavern and reminisce over some beer,
Remembering Claire, Fred and Luke, and others no longer here.
They talk of friends like Dave and Don --- no longer in the trade,
Health or age made them hang up their belt --- now they “have it made.”
They talk of the job they’re working on; seeing each other has been fun,
Just one more brew before they split with, “Catch ya on the Big One!”
To you gals who waited for that “homecoming” call
But heard instead, “Sorry Hon’…see you in the fall.”
To you guardians of the home fire who kept the bed warm
And prayed to God every night to hold your man from harm.
Here’s a toast to you ladies and our dear good men
Who are booming in, up and down, and booming out again,
Yes, Boomers have a connection that others seldom tout;
Traveling the world of iron is what a Boomer is all about.

Ground Zero
By Janet Weiner, daughter of Robert Graves,
Local 40 (New York)
Nothing could ever replace
A part of our souls left at that place.
We are Ironworkers, we work in steel
No one will ever understand how we feel.
No one could ever console
The memories left in our soul.
Every beam we’ve taken away
Has built a memorial in us today.
We are Ironworkers, we’re no one’s Hero,
We all united to work at Ground Zero.
The days have passed, the steel is gone,
But the memories will live forever on.
Bone fragments of shattered lives,
Families, Children and Wives.
Life will go on as it may
But the memories live in us today.
No one could ever endure
Our memories so impure.
One might question the higher powers,
Why did this happen to these Towers?
Whatever happened to under one God we reside?
These memories will forever haunt us inside.
They will never cease, nor go away,
They are imbedded in our lives to this very day.
Local 40, and the endless steel
A memory so surreal.
We may try to sleep, and put aside
The haunting memories left inside.
We are changed forever, we’ve become different Men.
We revisit the Site again and again.
As we pull away each Crane
The ashes of loved ones will remain.
God Bless America, please make it right.
We’ve all left some tears at that Site.
The Plaza
By Stan Neal, Local 40 (New York)
Stitching steel with thermal thread
Arcs of light sew ‘round my head ~
Within this cloak of planks and poles
I weave a weld to patch those holes…
Behind my mask the Day is dark
Until I strike that molten spark ~
As fire flows from my fingertips
The glassy slag slowly drips…
Central Park is at my feet
Fanning me from summer’s heat ~
A sea of green ‘tween shores of steel and stone
Is a quite quilted backdrop ‘bove the city’s drone…
Beyond the streets and beneath the sky
Reflected in my visor’s eye ~
I can almost see inside of me
On top of the world – at The Plaza, NYC!

Iron Workers Mourn Loss of James “Gene” Moran
James “Gene” Moran
26
We are sorry to report the recent death of retired General Organizer James “Gene” Moran.
Gene was initiated into Shopmen’s Local 733 (Nashville) on October 1, 1951. He was appointed
by then General President John H. Lyons as a Special Representative in February 1952 to service
the Nashville area.
After displaying his skill as an organizer, he was appointed as a district representative in January
1956. The General Executive Board had created the new position of district representative and
Gene was one of the first two appointed to the position. Gene then transferred his membership
to Local 729 (Greensboro, N.C.) and serviced the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Virginia.
In 1958, he moved to Cleveland and transferred his membership in Shopmen’s Local 468
(Cleveland), where he maintained his membership until his death.
On August 23, 1965, then General President John H. Lyons Jr. appointed Gene to general
organizer. He was assigned to service the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia.
In 1971, he was assigned to International Headquarters in St. Louis, and then transferred to
Washington, D.C. later that year when Headquarters was moved. Gene worked in the Shop
Division until his retirement on February 1, 1993. Gene served 41 years on the International Staff
and was, if not the longest, one of the longest serving staff officers.
Brother Gene will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the International.
