From Kevin Sullivan,
Business Agent
The other day I was talking with a friend about
whether Labor Unions were necessary in today’s
market. Both of us agreed on the formation and
necessity of Labor unions in the 19th century. During that time, the Industrial Revolution produced an
expansion in manufacturing capabilities. As workers
moved away from agricultural work to factories,
they worked very long hours with low pay in unsafe
conditions. Even young children were forced to
ZRUNLQIDFWRULHV'XULQJWKLVGLIÀFXOWWLPHRIODERU
transition, the government did little to limit these injustices. Workers began to organize for better rights
DQG VDIHU FRQGLWLRQV VR LQLWLDWLQJ WKH IRUPLQJ RI
labor unions.
Labor unions provided workers, as a group, with
WKH EHQHÀW RI QHJRWLDWLQJ SD\ DQG ZRUNLQJ FRQGLWLRQV ZLWK WKHLU HPSOR\HU DV D JURXS JLYLQJ WKHP
more power than if they were to negotiate individually. Labor unions were successful in improving
working conditions, increasing wages, and securing
KHDOWK DQG UHWLUHPHQW EHQHÀWV IRU 8QLRQ :RUNHUV
In the 20th century, the United States government
began to take actions by passing labor laws. With
Union Labor backing laws such as the Fair Labor
Standards Act (1938), Labor-Management Relations Act (1947), Equal Pay Act (1963), Civil Rights
Act (Title VII – 1964), and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA – 1970) laws were enacted
requiring employers to ensure all employees’ rights
were protected along with safe working conditions.
My friend was a grocery store worker represented
by a UFCW Union. He had got into job site trouble
where he was facing disciplinary action. I do not
know what the charge was (stalking females) or
KRZHJUHJLRXVLWZDV,GRNQRZWKDW,QRZÀQGP\self defending Unions from the attacks of a disgruntled ex union member. The disgruntled employee
feels the Union did not represent him well, that the
unions are more concerned with collecting dues,
and the International leaders are out of touch with
the membership. It is a tough argument to defend
whether it is with a former union member or a non
union worker. I can say however, at Local 602, we
do a good job representing our membership.
Those that have never been part of a union perceive the Unions as the protectors of the screwed up
and unproductive worker. Those that are looking to
tear Unions down feel that Unions do very little for
people who work hard. You can be an unproductive
worker with high seniority and still maintain your
job for years. Maybe other unions operated like that
DQG KDYH FDVW D EDG VKDGRZ XSRQ XV ZH DUH QRW
them. None the less, these preconceived notions are
just another front we are up against Brothers and
Sisters. I cannot speak for other Unions but, I believe, we as a Union hold ourselves to a higher standard through our training and an instilled work ethic
that must be held to, year to year and job to job. Yes,
unions are necessary.
My disgruntled union busting friend also debated
that Labor Unions are too costly, forcing companies
to seek cheaper labor in other countries. I asked my
friend “Are you kidding me with this? Do you really think that if unions ceased to exist, that business
would pay workers better wages on their own initiative? Do you think they would continue to provide
good health insurance? The fact that companies are
relocating to other countries in order to circumvent
fair labor practices, health standards, and pay foreign workers pennies on the dollar tells you everything you need to know. They would rather invest
in someone else’s country than their own to save a
buck. Do you really think that if unions vanished,
those companies would bring their business back
on U.S. soil and suddenly change their minds and
pay great salaries and hourly wages? No, they will
continue their current practice of getting away with
spending as little as possible on their workers, and
as much as possible on the executives. Yes, unions
are necessary
Earlier I had mentioned that Unions did a lot on
their own without government assistance. It is better today, but even with federal laws enacted the
funding of enforcement has been stripped away. A
portion of our union dues helps the Local Building Trades to hire their own people to police Davis
Bacon worker misclassification and licensing requirement making it harder for the open shop to
cheat in getting jobs and their workers out of wages
due. Yes, unions are necessary to protect workers
rights and public safety. Yes, Unions do provide
KLJKZDJHVDQGIULQJHEHQHÀWVIRUWKHLUPHPEHUV,Q
fact, they drive up wages for EVERYONE, because
if a union employer on Main Street is paying $25/
hour, but an open shop employer is paying only $18/
hour for the same work, where do you think the best
workers will want to be employed? To be competi-
tive for attracting the best workers, the open shop
may then consider paying a little more as well. Hell,
that $18/hour may be an increase from the $12/hour
they used to pay! Besides, it’s no secret that unions
SURYLGHJRRGEHQHÀWVVXFKDVKHDOWKLQVXUDQFHDQG
retirement, so their workers won’t be dependent on
government assistance when they get older. However, the open shops that provide little to no benHÀWV WKHLU ZRUNHUV ZLOO EH VXFNLQJ RII WKH WHDW RI
public assistance for the rest of their lives. Yes, we
still need unions.
Brothers and Sisters this is what we are up
against. The General Public has a negative perception of us and the politicians enact laws yet strip
IXQGLQJ RI HQIRUFHPHQW :H DUH RQ DQ LVODQG RXU
8QLRQFRQWUDFWRUVDQGXVÀJKWLQJWKHEDWWOHWRJHWKHU
Remember that daily when we walk onto the job.
Do your individual part in representing Union Labor
well, for we must do our part in displacing the myth
that Union members are a bunch of overpaid slackers. Yes, unions are necessary!
Chris Madello,
Organizer/Business Rep
I hope that everyone is enjoying the New Year so
far and looking forward to the promise that a fresh
year may bring. I also hope that you all have included something particular about our Local Union
when you came up with your “New Year’s Resolutions” last month. Whatever those resolutions may
be, I hope that you all are constantly thinking of
ways that may help improve something that is so
important to us all and has a direct impact on our
lives in many ways.
I know all too well, how busy our lives can be
and how many different things can come up in even
a single week. We all experience the pressures of
everyday life and while we juggle our families,
work, school, friends and a little time for ourselves,
we often let other things slip by us. The things that
we let slip, aren’t typically on the forefront of our
minds, but that doesn’t exactly make them unimportDQW7KH PRVW REYLRXV RI WKH LWHPV ZH 6WHDPÀWWHUV
ignore when we juggle all of the things in our lives,
is our health and that is something we all have to
do a better job keeping an eye on, but that is not the
only thing that most of us do not pay attention to.
While it is not quite as important as your health,
one of the most common things that a majority of
us do not pay much attention to, is the amount of
money that is being contributed into each of our
fringe benefit plans for all of the hours that we
work. Of course we all pay attention to our paychecks and ensure that we aren’t working any hours
that we aren’t compensated for, but it’s not quite as
easy for us to keep track of the other type of compensation we receive for the hours that we work.
7KHUHDVRQZK\LWLVGLIÀFXOWIRUXVWRNHHSWUDFNRI
this is because most of the companies that we work
IRUGRQRWOLVWWKH´)ULQJH%HQHÀW&RQWULEXWLRQVµRQ
our paystubs, so in most cases we do not have the
opportunity to view them on a weekly basis.
The only option that we have of tracking the rate
RI )ULQJH %HQHÀWV &RQWULEXWLRQV WKDW DUH PDGH RQ
our behalf is to view our quarterly report of hours
WKDWZHUHFHLYHIURPWKH%HQHÀWV2IÀFH7KLVGRFXment lists the amount of hours that were contributed
on your behalf by the contractor or contractors that
you worked for, during the three month period of the
report. While this report allows you to keep a running record of the amount of hours you have compiled, it also allows you the opportunity to verify
that the hours that the employer contributed are accurate and that you have been compensated for all
of the hours you worked during this period.
7KHPRVWHIÀFLHQWDQGDFFXUDWHPHWKRGRIWUDFNing the amount of hours that should be contributed
RQ \RXU EHKDOI LV WR VDYH DOO RI \RXU SD\VWXEV DW
least for a few months anyway. Then you can compare the hours that you worked from you paystubs
to the quarterly report that you receive from the
EHQHÀWV RIÀFH DQG HQVXUH WKDW WKH\ PDWFK 3OHDVH
keep in mind that the employer is only required to
contribute to the Fringe Benefit Funds on actual
hours that are worked, which excludes any of the
Holiday’s that are reserved in our Agreement or any
Vacation that you may be receiving.
In the event that the hours do not match, you
VKRXOG FRQWDFW WKH %HQHÀWV 2IÀFH WR SURYLGH WKHP
with the documentation (pay stubs) of the hours
that you worked. They will then make contact with
the Contractor who is liable for those hours and
ensure that the hours that have not been contributed
on your behalf are recovered. The reason why it so
important to ensure that the proper amount of hours
have been contributed to these funds on your behalf,
is because they directly affect the amount of Pen-
sion Credits you earn, the amount of money that
you compile in your Retirement Savings plan and/or
your Medical Eligibility.
Please keep in mind that almost all of the discrepancies made by contractors to contribute the correct
DPRXQWRIKRXUVWRWKH)ULQJH%HQHÀW)XQGVRQ\RXU
behalf are made by unintentional errors and much
like anything else, those errors must be reported so
that they can be resolved. Again, I know that you are
busy, but please do your best to keep an eye on these
contributions.

What’s
New
in
Training
by Sean Straser, Training Director
During the recent application period, 553 applications were taken. Interviews have begun and will continue
through April. If you know an applicant who has not received a letter yet, be patient. The trustees have many interviews to conduct have not decided how many they intend to accept this year.
The Training Center will be accepting resumes for a full time welding instructor. Please submit your resume and
qualifications to me at info@602training.org with “Welding Instructor” in the subject line. We are also accepting
resumes for part time and substitute instructors for welding, pipefitting and HVAC/R. Please send those resumes to
info@602training.org with “Resume” in the subject line.
The Blood Drives have been rescheduled for Monday March 23 in Virginia and Wednesday March 25 in Maryland. Upcoming Journeyman Training classes: Journeyman Welding started Saturday February 7, 2015, OSHA 10
hr. Safety Awareness March 7, 2015 and the CFC class Tuesday March 3, 2015-Union Hall. We are trying to finalize dates for a MD journeyman HVAC test review class. We will offer two new training classes Aquatherm pipe fusion and CPR. Anyone interested in any of these classes needs to contact the Training Center office to sign up. The
Energy Management class is in jeopardy of being cancelled this year for lack of participation. Unfortunately, this is
not the first class recently that we have had to cancel due to lack of participation. Brothers and sisters, the school is
free to use. Take the classes and keep up to date with technology and processes.
There are several upcoming projects with Cove Point being the most prominent that will be using new welding
technology. Initially, the project has begun hiring small numbers, but nearly 150 welders are anticipated for this
project. If we as a local wait until this summer to begin training for this, it will be too late. We need to be proactive!
The calls for welders will need to be filled when they are placed. The contractors will not have the luxury of waiting
until we are ready. The calls may have to be filled with travelers. After seven years of less than stellar employment,
are we willing to let these calls be filled with travelers or are we going to fill the jobs ourselves? These new welding processes and technologies are here to stay. Jobsite welding is changing. Are you going to be one of those who
are ready and prepared for this project? Or are you going to be one of those who are left wondering why you aren’t
qualified for the job? Are you ready for it?
