Organizing
By Organizer Bill Hayden
I would like to start by saying how thankful I am
to be the new organizer at Local 46! While I have not
been involved in external organizing at Local 46, I am a
strong proponent of organizing. It is the object of our
IBEW Constitution, supporting the first declaration of
our Brotherhood.
As IBEW members, we have sworn an oath, given
our word to uphold our constitution, which includes our
declared purpose and our objectives.
HE FIRST OBJECT OF THE IBEW IS:
To organize all workers in the entire electrical
industry in the US and Canada; including those in public
utilities and electrical manufacturing, into Local Unions.
The idea is simple. If all workers were Union, all
work would be done under Union contracts. In Washington, this is more achievable than in most states, as
our labor pool is somewhat limited by State Licensing.
Not just anyone can work in our jurisdiction.
HE DECLARATION OF THE IBEW (ITS
PURPOSE):
“Ours is the cause of human justice, human rights,
and human security.”
How do we fulfill our duty as IBEW members if we
do not embrace our charge and purpose?
T

Some do not know that I am the result of an organizing campaign, an organized hand. Does that somehow make me a lesser hand than any other in our Local?
Being a Union member is not about what school
you studied at. No doubt, our JATCs are the best vocational education for electricians in the marketplace, but a
Certificate of Completion does not have anything to do
with being a Union Brother or Sister.
Union members stand for and promote our objectives and purposes. The help out when asked, to forward our purpose, whether internally or externally. They
join committees, weigh in on our business at meetings,
they respond to calls to action that support our cause.
They look out for their Brothers and Sisters. They build
up our organization, rather than tear it down or watch it
decay from the sidelines.
On the internal side, Local 46 is considering reforming a Unity Committee. Again it will be funded by donations and fundraisers, rather than a drain on the General
Fund. Do you enjoy the Local events? Super Bowl
Sundays, Daytona, Cook Offs and Potlucks, dances
like Spring Fling or Rocktoberfest? Do you have some
solidarity activities you would like to see at the Local
or sponsored by the Local? Bowling leagues? Softball?
Paintball? Pageants or talent shows? Do you like hosting?
Call or email me if this sounds like you!
253-395-6512 or billh@ibew46.com
On the external side, we will have organizing blitzes,
lobby day at the Capitol, picketing and bannering, rallies
and more. If THIS is you, contact me.
I am excited to say we are upgrading our communication systems. The new system will be up and running soon. It will provide text messages, Robo-dials and
emails. We are also working on electronic surveys and
forms. Welcome to the new millennium!
Please take the time to complete the ‘opt in’ form
for the new system. Let us know what information you
want, and how you want it delivered! You can fill out the
form online in Referral/Dispatch (www.ibew46.net)
under ROBODIAL FORM, the pdf form at www.
ibew46.org or the insert in this Sparks.
Finally, as an organizer, I am out to meet future
members. Do you know any electricians wanting to join
the Union? Have you recently seen a non-union jobsite
you think I should visit? Send me an email or text. Pictures help too . . . text me at 206-650-7718.
I look forward to serving you and am available. Hit
me up!

The holiday season is upon us, and a new year is fast
approaching. I would like to take the time to wish all
of you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year. I trust you had a great Thanksgiving holiday.
S
OUND AND COMMUNICATION MEMBERS
This is a reminder that a wage increase is due
this coming February. Members in attendance during
the regularly scheduled unit meeting January 7th will be
voting on how this increase should be distributed. Are
we to place this increase into the pension, annuity, and
healthcare or on the check? Everyone should have an
interest in this meeting. Hope to see you there at 5:30
p.m., come early and have dinner here at the Hall.
The contract should be going to the printer soon to
have it put in booklet form. As soon as I get them, I will
be mailing out copies to all.

IGN SHOP MEMBERS
The contract negotiations are complete. Copies
will be out soon for each member. I want to thank all
who assisted in this negotiation process.
A
DT MEMBERS

get your management to participate in setting a date to
mediate. A meeting was finally scheduled for January

can soon conclude this negotiation process.

T
YCO MEMBERS
I have copies of your recently concluded contract and will get them out to all soon.
O ALL
Please take time to read the contracts you are
sent. I encourage each one of you to get to know and
understand each Section. If you have questions, please
give me a call. This is a working document and what
makes it work is all of us participating in making it work,
both management and labor.
The work picture is looking up for some time to
come.
In the coming new year, it is my hope for all of us
to continue working together to build and have successful, working relationships and to share the fruits of our
labors. Anything worth having is worth working for.
Again, Happy New Year!!

Electrical Workers Minority Caucus (EWMC)
Seattle Chapter Community Service “Lights
of Hope 2014” Project Report
By Sean L. Bagsby, EWMC - Seattle Chapter President
The ‘Lights of Hope’ is an annual holiday event that
helps Saint Paul's Hospital fund cancer research. Saint
Paul's is the leader in cancer research in the Vancouver,
British Columbia area.
This is the third year that our Pacific Northwest
group (EWMC Chapters from the six Northwest IBEW
Locals: 125, 48, 46, 191, 213, and 258) has participated
in this joint community service! The IBEW Local 213
Chapter of EWMC has helped to bring this project
together for years now, and this year, only the Seattle
Chapter was able to volunteer from the States. The
primary work day was Saturday, November 8, 2014.
The plan was to meet up at Saint Paul's at 7:00 a.m., rain
or shine. For the first time in many years, it was a clear
and sunny (but cold) day!! We worked to light up the
front of the hospital with stars of different sizes, and
Christmas lights. The stars are put up to represent all of
the donors to St. Paul’s Hospital; the larger the donation from an organization, the larger the star. When
Local 213 first helped with the lighting project several
years ago, the donations totaled $600,000. Last year,
the Lights of Hope campaign made approximately
$2,400,000 for Saint Paul's hospital! These funds are
critical to help support research for brain, spine and
other types of cancer. It would be similar to the work
that University of Washington Medical Center does here
in our area.
There were over 100 volunteers, including traffic
control specialists, runners, general public, office workers, and electrical workers of various classifications.
IBEW Local 213 pre-apprentices were responsible for
moving parts and lights to areas needed along the face
of the hospital. There were two large boom lifts (125’),
several smaller boom lifts (35’-85’), several buckettrucks, ladders, and scaffolding systems to assist with
the lighting placement.
The entire job was done by early afternoon. We
made sure that every light and star was working so that
on November 15th the premier lighting would go off
without a hitch.
So, if you are in Vancouver, British Columbia between November 30th and the week after New Years’
Day, be sure to check out the light show at the hospital.
We had a diverse group of wonderful volunteers
from Local 46 and our Seattle EWMC Chapter: Kathryn
Brown, Damon Barnett, Torre Triplett, Roy Smith, Eric
Vane, and Frank Woolsey! I want to thank ALL OF
THEM for taking their time to help out the Vancouver
Community, and work alongside our Canadian IBEW
Sisters and Brothers. The Vancouver folks were amazed
that we would drive all the way to British Columbia just
to help with their project. (Photo on right.)

Fall Poker Tournament
By Membership Development Director Maggie Ely
November 15th was the date of the Local 46 Fall Poker Tournament and everyone in attendance seemed to
have a great time. At 5:00 p.m. we had dinner and then started the Poker Tournament and LRC dice shortly after
6:00. Approximately 80 members, family, and friends were on hand. Some played, but many others were here to socialize, enjoy a meal, or just hang out and have some fun. We have these events to welcome new members and bring
us together with our fellow IBEW Brothers and Sisters. If you have not attended one of our Poker/Dice Tournaments, please consider signing up for the next one; there is no buy-in and we have great prizes to win.
And the winners were!!!!

Benevolence Fund
AA Meeting
By Representative Elwood Evans
By Representative Elwood Evans
This is a reminder concerning the use of this Fund.
This Fund was not setup for working people with jobs.
It is a hardship fund for people who have an illness, are
under a doctor’s care, or fighting with unemployment
or their L&I benefit checks, or death in the immediate
family.
This is a reminder that IBEW Local 46 is still having
their AA Meetings every Monday. It starts at 7:00 p.m.
sharp and ends promptly at 8:00 p.m.
This is a wonderful program for people who want to
keep themselves straight and stop using, and all it takes
is the desire to not want to drink or use drugs.
Everyone is invited and welcome to attend these
meetings. We welcome kids as well so don’t let anything
stop you from attending our meetings.
We all need one another. We get our strength and
support from these meetings.

A
REMINDER TO THE APPRENTICES.
Right now if you are on standby for a contractor for any length of time, and they don’t have work
for you, you need to call the J.A.T.C. and talk with them
about your concerns. Work is picking up and there
shouldn’t be any apprentice sitting at home not working
and waiting for a phone call to return back to work.
If this is happening to you, the Benevolence Fund
isn’t going to help you with any funding as long as there
is work available with other contractors. So please, make
contact with the Apprenticeship Directors and let them
know as soon as possible.
We want to approve everyone who qualifies, but we
have guidelines that we must follow.

IEC Apprentices
By Membership Development Director Maggie Ely
Those of you who attended the November
General Membership Meeting heard about the
problems with the IEC Apprenticeship. Independent Electrical Contractors, or IEC, is one
of the training facilities used by non-union contractors in Washington State.
This fall, the State of Washington took action to rescind the apprenticeship standards of
the IEC for engaging in discriminatory practices.
This presented us with the opportunity to contact
those IEC apprentices in our jurisdiction and give
them information about transferring their training
to our JATC.
On Tuesday, November 25, a group of your
Local 46 Organizers and volunteer members went
out door knocking. We contacted each of the
IEC registered apprentices that we were able to.
Many of them showed a great deal of interest in
our program and in the IBEW. The fact that we
have jobs available was definitely a great selling
point. I think most of us had some fun, met some
nice people, and were able to offer these apprentices an opportunity for a better life.
Thanks you to all who volunteered!

Broadcast and Railroad Unit Reports

ING TV
IBEW 46 and KING TV held our first negotiating sessions at the end of October. Management submitted their initial proposals to us, which included bold
demands that we surrender any jurisdictional boundaries
that define our Unit and the work our members perform.
We recognize the implications that these demands
will have on our negotiations and your future; this
is why one of our many resources for response will
be working with all of our allies who support KING
Union workers. This includes utilizing the relationships
we have with KING coalition partners, (IATSE and
SAG-AFTRA) as well as community and labor allies
throughout the city of Seattle, King County, and Washington State.
In addition, we are closely collaborating with the
IBEW 48 in Portland, who are also in negotiations
with Gannett. I recently sat in on a full day of negotiations with the station in Portland, which provided us an
opportunity to share ideas, collaborate, and present a
united front to Gannett management.
Other issues we are discussing in negotiations are
benefits (PTO and Health Insurance) and the station
sale/move (parking, new equipment, automation). Your
participation and input will be invaluable as we continue
to bargain, please keep me informed on any ideas you
may have or interest you have in sitting in on negotiations, coalition meetings, or attending possible future
actions.
CTS TV
KCTS negotiations are ongoing.
We have a few grievances pending as we work
through the grievance issues at the bargaining table.
Initially the Company was determined to bargain a
yearlong contract only. We have recently moved them
toward agreeing to a longer term deal, something that
members strongly desire. Issues are still being worked
out in these talks, such as insurance costs, wage increases and the debate over any retroactive pay increases.
Changes in management staff have created some
periods of delay in bargaining discussions. We were told
that the changes may be settling down; hopefully that
means a period of stability will be on the horizon where
we can meet more regularly to reach a new contract deal.
T
ALGO
This fall and winter we have met often for contract negotiations between Talgo and IBEW 46. These
talks are progressing nicely. Both parties had a very wide
gap in financial proposals, so we felt it may be valuable to bring a mediator into our discussions. Our gap
is widening and it seems that progress is being made
toward both parties reaching a final deal, though of
course there is still much work to be done in achieving
increases that the workers deserve.
This will be the second ever Union contract for Talgo On-Board Technicians; so, after working under nonunion conditions for many years, and bargaining a first
contract during a serious recession, there are still gains
that need to be made in wages. Talgo workers were diligent in getting us to where we are today, and the future
looks brighter thanks to the hard work our members are
putting into their Union and these negotiations.

Washington Fair Trade Breakfast
& Fundraiser
By Member Wendy Brown
On November 19, representing the IBEW Local
46, I attended the Washington Fair Trade Coalition
Breakfast, hosted by Washington Fair Trade Coalition
and held at IAM 751 District Lodge, in the South Park
neighborhood of Seattle. The Breakfast included speakers from our local region involved in social justice, fair
trade and community activism. It concluded with a trivia
game and tested our knowledge of U.S. trade agreements and issues.
The Washington Fair Trade Coalition was formed
after the WTO (World Trade Organization) protests
in Seattle. According to their website, they are a coalition of over 60 Washington labor, faith, environmental,
farmer, and social justice groups that are committed to
creating a fair, balanced and sustainable global trading
system. One of the main issues they are fighting is the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The concerns about
this trade agreement are that it is shrouded in secrecy
and there has been a blackout in the media leaving the
public in the dark.
The TPP would give corporations unprecedented
and unregulated power. It would place the profits of
multinational corporations over the food security needs
of individual nations. Corporations would be given the
ability to sue local and state governments who pass
food safety regulations stating it is a barrier to trade.
More and more U.S. jobs would be sent overseas where
workers are paid lower wages. The TPP trade agreement
would restrict medical services by keeping pharmaceutical drugs and laboratory services prices high. The
market interest rates on loans made by banks and credit
unions would be controlled. In short the TPP would
be a trade agreement that would increase the profits of
corporations at the expense of the health and livelihood
of US citizens.
Celeste Drake, from the AFL-CIO, spoke about the
TPP and primarily about the issue of Fast Track. Under
Fast Track, President Obama will negotiate and sign the
TPP without congressional approval. The points Ms.
Drake made against Fast Track were that trade should
and could be a way for the U.S. to grow our economy.
Workers should be given a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s
work and should be doing well enough to spend money.
Congressman Jim McDermott, who represents the 7th
Congressional District in Washington State, is one of
our local politicians who are working to stop the implementation of Fast Track.
What can you do to help stop Fast Track and TPP?

Good November meeting.
We learned the Healthcare and Pension funds are in good shape.
John Sakellaris ate his share of the donuts as usual.
Thanks to our working members who foot the bill for that and our
office people who put it together for us.
How could ANY organization function without its “Office People?”
It couldn’t.
A lot of good old days stories this time. You want a laugh, or maybe a
tear? Come on down!
Good turnout Saturday for Walker Spriggs’ celebration of life. A
much loved and respected man and for good reason.
Have you been reading about the SPD position on property crime?
Did you vote?
Many of our members have been in one or more wars. What do you
think about the ones (plural) we’re in now? Don’t tell me, tell your congress people and be prepared to write ANOTHER check!
Our work picture is getting better. Not GOOD, but better. We’re still
doing less than half of the local residential and multi-use work. Remember that when you decide where to spend your good UNION worker
money. BUY AMERICAN!
Some lowlife human stole the Labor Agency’s van.
Why do we have so many poor, hungry, cold, homeless people? Do
you think that the 318 Billion Dollars we sent to China last year has anything to do with it?
Any ideas for retiree group activities?
Vi and I are glad we stuck with our Union Medicare SUPPLEMENT
insurance. Yes, you’re right, insurance costs a LOT nowadays, but nowhere near paying the bill yourself.
All of you! Participate! Go to your Union meetings. Buy Union; yes, it
can be done. VOTE! Demonstrate! DO NOT CAPITULATE! (Look it
up.)
Love Karl

GPSEW Update
By Instructor Warren Shill
Our Associate Member program has more than
doubled in size this year! The number of Associate
Members now exceeds 900, with over 70 becoming full
members of IBEW Local #46. Through the month of
November, GPSEW has provided classes to 2,969 students of which 1,380 (46.5%) were Associate Members.
The Fall Quarter is almost over; most of the classes
offered filled up quickly and had waiting lists. The
Winter Quarter will offer 452 class hours to address
the needs of both Local #46 members and Associate
Members.
Unfortunately, we also have to address the issue of
student no-shows. When registering for classes you will
see our Registration and Attendance Policy included
with the class registration form. Students are responsible
for on-time attendance at the classes they register for, or
to cancel their class registration at least 2 business days
prior to the class.
SHA CLASSES
OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 will be offered during
the Winter Quarter. OSHA 10 provides safety training
intended for the general construction worker. OSHA 30
is more comprehensive and is directed toward supervisory employees or those employees that have a specific
safety responsibility.
OOD NEWS FOR OREGON LICENSED

hours for the Motor Control class. The Winter Class
Schedule denotes which classes are approved for Oregon CEU credit.
The Winter Class Schedule is included in this edition
of Sparks with our class offerings for January, February,
and March. No matter what your skill level, GPSEW
offers a diverse range of topics for CEUs and Basic
Trainee classes. Check out our upgraded website, which
