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

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

B
rother Frank Steadman, membership no. 180698, was initiated
as an apprentice in Local 321 (Little
Rock, Ark.) on May 1, 1940. After
proving his skills, he was promoted to
journeyman ironworker on August 1,
1940. As many of our old timers did,
he boomed out all over the country,
holding membership in Locals 3, 14,
25, 29, 86, 114, 118, 321, 377, 433,
598 and 646. Even while serving our
country during World War II, he continued to pay his dues and maintain
his membership.
After calling the International
about donating memorabilia from his
many years as an ironworker, Jerry
Wilson, district council representative for the District Council of Texas
and the Mid-South, paid Brother
Steadman a visit and was advised
that Mrs. Steadman had passed
away fourteen years prior and they
had no children. Being 96 years of
age, Brother Steadman decided he
wanted to share his items with someone who would appreciate them. He
pulled an old box out of his closet and
began to share his story…
Frank was born in Powhatan,
Louisiana, just southeast of Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1915. His mother
died when he was only 12 years old
and he had to learn to care for himself from that point on; he said that
was when he learned how to cook.
Having little education, he later took
a job with the Civilian Conservation
Corps in the 1930s as a cook.
After his stint in the Civilian Conservation Corps, he landed a job with
a pile driving company and ended up
working on a new bridge going across
the Mississippi River from Greenville, Mississippi, to Arkansas. He
asked the superintendent from American Bridge if he could go to work for
10
them, as it looked exciting and paid
more money. They told him to come
back the next day and so began his
ironworking career. Frank worked
for American Bridge on projects all

over the United States and in several
capacities—connector, foreman, and
general foreman. As was customary
in those days, he would transfer his
membership into the locals where he
was working.
When World War II started, he
went to work for the U. S. Navy at the
Naval Drydocks in Hunters Point,
California, as a leadingman rigger.
He said he transferred his membership into Local 377 (San Francisco)
and kept paying his dues during
that time because he didn’t want to
lose his book. In 1946, he returned to
work for American Bridge and continued working for them on projects
across North America until he was
injured on a job in the late 1960s and
had to retire in 1971.
Brother Steadman proudly displays his IPAL Presidents 200 Club
plaque on his wall and has diligently
contributed to and supported IPAL
for several years, going above and beyond the requirements for the President’s Club recognition.
In addition to his many years of
commitment to the labor movement
and the Iron Workers, we would like to
thank Brother Steadman for the jobsite pictures, various pieces of correspondence and other historical items
he has donated to the Iron Workers
International archives. These items
will add greatly to our historical display, showing what it was like being
an ironworker through the years. We
are certain they will bring enjoyment
and insight to everyone who has the
pleasure of viewing them.
From all we have heard, seen and
read, it would seem Brother Steadman has a life and career he should
be proud of. He truly is a fine example
of what being a citizen, an ironworker, and a union member is all about.
Brother Steadman is currently residing in Shreveport, Louisiana, and we
wish him every bit of good health and
happiness!
THE IRONWORKER
Ironworkers show Union Power
Ontario District Council Organizers Dan Marr, Lash Ray,
Jim Rodney, Marc Arsenault, and Severyn Salitia put up
an information line against a non-union native contractor,
who admits to not paying taxes for his company and to
paying cash (under the table) for his payroll. The organizers, with the help of Local 700 (Windsor, Ontario) Business
Agent Enoch Greenwell, as well as members of Local 700
and the local building trades were able to catch full media
attention with the local radio station, as well as the local
newspaper. They were also successful at getting the local politicians in their riding on board to combat this and
other contractors who use the underground economy as a
means of cheating the system.
Ironworker to Appear on
Brotherhood outdoors
Brotherhood Outdoors, an outdoor TV series of the Union
Sportsmen’s Alliance that showcases hardworking union
members on hunting and fishing adventures, will feature
our member Jessica Reagor from Local 395 (Hammond,
Ind.). The production company visited Jessica at home and
on the job for her profile. The episode will air on Thursday,
January 5 at 8:00 p.m. on the Sportsman Channel. Congratulations, Jessica!
Ironworkers save Monument
from Being swept Away by Flooding
In June 2011, the Missouri River became the focal point of
fear as parts of the Midwest from South Dakota to Missouri
faced rising tides and disastrous flooding. Union members
in Nebraska aided in evacuations while bracing for the
worst. Two members of Local 21 (Omaha, Neb.), Mike Baker and Stu Steffens, secured a labor monument with hoses
to prevent it from being swept away by the river currents.
Omaha Federation of Labor President, Terry Moore, issued
a statement saying, “All of labor should thank Iron Workers Local 21 for this effort, especially Mike Baker and Stu
Steffens. If you see them, say simply, Thank You. It would
mean a lot.”

THE IRONWORKER
Wisconsin Ironworkers Stand up for America
Submitted by Mike Daly, Local 377 (San Francisco)
2011 came to us with major economic challenges,
the result of thirty years of Republican attacks on our
union way of life. Nowhere has that challenge been
more confrontational than in Wisconsin, where the
Republican Governor has implemented a direct assault
on public sector collective bargaining. This created an
unprecedented response by WisconsinÕ s working people,
including job actions by state legislators and occupation
of the State Capitol Building. Ironworkers Local 8 and
Local 383 have been at the center of this labor campaign.
This crisis has its roots in a thirty year campaign
by the radical right in this country to attack the middle
class and redistribute wealth into the hands of the top 1%
of US population. The Reagan Bush Presidency began
with the 1981 elimination of PATCO, the air traffic
controllersÕ union, and the precedents that action
established in weakening collective bargaining. Those
years also witnessed Republican leadership of Federal
agencies like NLRB, OSHA, Department of Labor, and
the Federal Courts, with resulting policy heavily slanted
away from LaborÕ s legitimate place in our national
structure. Gradually much production shifted South, into
Republican dominated, Right-to-Work states, which
seriously hurt long established Ironworker shop locals.
Labor did rally in 1992 and elect a Democratic
President, who stood by balanced budgets and generated
government surpluses and low unemployment. Except
for the passage of NAFTA and the continuing
outsourcing of our future, those years were good ones.
However the Bush Presidency 2000-2008 accomplished
a tremendous shift in wealth by decreasing or eliminating
tax liability of wealthy Americans. This bankrupted
government programs and led us to the crisis we now
face. And since most of the money transferred occurred
before the election of a Democratic President, the deck
was heavily stacked in favor of wealth, not labor.
DECEMBER 2011
This crisis confronted all
American working families, but only
because of some particular political
events occurring in Wisconsin, a
confrontation of all national and local
groups began to develop there. The
Governor issued a budget that drastically
reduced public employee compensation,
and eliminated rights to collectively
bargain. This caused a number of state
legislators to leave the Capitol in protest.
In addition, WisconsinÕ s union leadership
rose up in unity and began to gather at
the state capitol in Madison. As the
country looked on in amazement,
WisconsinÕ s working people occupied the
Capitol. Soon the entire US Labor
movement began to mobilize in support
of this historic solidarity displayed by
WisconsinÕ s working people.
13
As these events came to WisconsinÕ s Building
Trades, it soon became clear that the challenge to
collective bargaining was an issue that required
mobilization. As public events developed, ironworkers
from Local 8 Milwaukee and Local 383 Madison were
clearly present and showing the same leadership
ironworkers always provide. In one incredible sequence,
teachers filmed an emotional scene showing the
Ironworkers arriving at the Capitol to tremendous
cheering. In virtually every media report, ironworkers
were shown present in photos and in the video.
In the locals themselves, Business Managers
Colin Teska at Local 8 and Mike Grimslid at Local 383
soon began putting in very long hours, and this was true
of all Business Agents and staff. This was an entirely
new situation, a crisis without precedent, and the work
that went into it was happening together with all the
normal work that goes with running Ironworker Locals.
Rank and File members accomplished amazing work
setting up websites, interacting with social media, talking
to ironworkers from all over the country to organize
support and to get the word out. Videos were made and
posted on the internet, other types of labor media were
used to great effect. Outreach occurred to Labor
Councils and to AFL-CIO; but most of all, outreach
from Ironworkers went throughout the state, to working
families of all walks of life.
These events present opportunities for all
Ironworkers to stand together. But most important, they
demand we develop the skills and the ability to use the
same tools being employed against us. Organizing
political support against a wealthy elite determined to
dissolve our union is vital to our survival. And that
organizing starts by Locals and District Councils
communicating and supporting each other.
AFL rooted Building Trades have not always
linked well with CIO type industrial unions Ðbut the
lessons of Wisconsin are clear ÐU nited we stand, divided
we beg. And we all need to take advantage of Labor
Education when it is available to us.
The events in Wisconsin face all North American
Ironworkers in our own communities. We owe a great
deal to Wisconsin brothers and sisters who stood up and
made this great effort on our behalf. We all need to
make sure whatever support Wisconsin Locals need from
us gets to them.
United we stand, Divided we beg.

THE IRONWORKER
CANADIAN REPORT 2011
By Darrell LaBoucan
A
s another year comes to a close, the Canadian ironworkers can reflect back on what Charles Dickens
wrote in A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the Best of Times;
it was the Worst of Times…”
Our field and shop hours have made significant gains
in the last year as new projects come on line and longterm maintenance and shutdown work has increased in
virtually every region of the country.
Ironworkers in Canada have choices again, in whether they want to work on the construction of the Hebron
offshore drilling platform being built in Newfoundland,
or travel to the opposite coast and apply their rigging
skills at our shipyard located on Vancouver Island. Yes,
there is work from sea to shining sea and in most regions in between – the suitcase-toting member now has
many more geographical destinations within our country to earn a living.
That’s the Best of Times!
What’s the Worst of Times?
Canada’s construction and maintenance workforce
of the baby boomer generation are starting to leave our
workforce in favor of retirement. With this exodus, they
take a generation of pride, skills, and valuable supervisory knowledge.
Even with the fantastic number of apprentices and
journeyman our local union training coordinators and
instructors are producing, which is in the 20% + ratio of
local union membership in most locals, we still will not
meet the skilled labour demand that has been predicted
over the next nine years in Canada.
The Canadian Office is working in cooperation with
General President Walter Wise and the Ironworkers
Management Progressive Cooperative Trust (IMPACT)
to set up a USA/Canada mobility initiative. The mobility initiative will allow American ironworkers to preapprove themselves so they may obtain temporary work
visas to work on Canadian projects that are experiencing ironworker shortages.
We will have an advantage on our non-union competition if we can utilize our American brothers and sisters in the predicted shortages. If we can access American ironworkers, it will give us an edge in the signing
on of contractors who would have otherwise completed
their work non-union. Why? Because we can deliver a
pool of skilled, productive, and safe ironworkers.
The work visa process is painful on both sides of the border. Our goal is to streamline the process with the help of
IMPACT and our owners, contractors, and partners. Couple
this initiative with some progressive lobbying, and hopefully some government support, and we will experience success in meeting the demands of the work horizon.
DECEMBER 2011
We speak of safety regularly in all facets of our industry—it is a sad fact that
as an organization, we have
lost 11 members in the past
year and in Canada alone,
two ironworkers were killed
on the job over the last
twelve months.
It is with our deepest
condolences to their families and friends that we
remember Brother Allan
Leschyshyn of Local 728
(Winnipeg, Manitoba) and
Brother Kane Avery David
Thorne of Local 720 (Edmonton, Alberta).
General President Walter Wise is totally committed
to reducing our workplace fatalities to zero. We need to
do our part every day to make his goal our reality.
When we are on the job and we see unsafe work
practices being performed by an ironworker or any
other trade—do the right thing and intervene. I know
sometimes we do not feel it is our business or our place;
but remember the person may not even realize they
are putting themselves, and possibly others, in danger
when they are working in that moment.
Everyone in this business deserves the right to go
home to their families and loved ones. Let us do our part
to make sure that happens.
The Canadian Office would like to take a moment to
congratulate our newly appointed IMPACT Safety and
Health Director Steve Rank. Further, we would also like
to thank him for his assistance on two major projects in
Canada where President Wise assigned Steve to evaluate contractor and ironworker safety performance.
In both cases, and with Steve’s help, we worked with
the local unions and the owner to refocus on safety, and
implement innovative resolves and practices in the best
interests of all parties.
Political Action
2011 has been a very political year for most of us in
the labour movement in Canada, the year that most of us
would rather forget. Although our labour friendly parties
in most regions have held on to their seats, there have
been continuous attacks from non-union contractor organizations on our member and union rights in our country.
Examples are rife in Quebec, where the government
wants to pass new legislation removing our union’s right
to dispatch members to job sites; in Alberta, where there
is a move by our competition to ban market recovery
15
CANADIAN REPORT - continued
funds and salting jobs for the purpose of organizing; and
federally, where right wing forces are pushing for LM-2
like reporting requirements for Canadian unions.
Marketing and Organizing
Some people say successes and achievements in our
quest to increase our market share are hard to measure.
Well brothers and sisters, don’t believe that theory. All you
have to do is take a drive in your local’s turf. Are we doing
all the work? Is the steel in that Costco, Chevy dealership, and corner office building in your community being
erected by union ironworkers? Is the rebar being placed
by a union contractor employing union ironworkers? Is
the glass being set by union members of your local?
We can’t stress enough we need every available
ironworker hour of work out there. If we are going to
maintain and sustain our current standard of living
and pension plans we now enjoy, then let no one tell
you any different.
We need the pre–engineered building in Saskatchewan, and we need the curtain wall refurbishing project
in Toronto. We must refocus and develop strategies and
recapture lost work in places like the Yukon, Nunavut,
the Northwest Territories, and remote regions of our
country where the non-union is dominating the work
we used to perform.
Our membership numbers in Canada have stayed
consistent for the last decade or two, not a bad feat
considering the ups-and-downs of our economy during
that time. However, over the next nine years, Canada is
expected to require tens of thousands of skilled trades’
people to replace an aging workforce and to supply the
labour demands that new construction and maintenance projects will bring our way.
If we do not take this opportunity to grow our membership and control of our market share, I can guarantee you our non-union competition will take another
big chunk out of our work when all is said and done.
We have the best options within our organization
for attracting the unorganized. Our training and our
ability to access every facet of our many trade skills
in the field and in the shop, far exceeds anything our
competition can deliver.
Best of Times
There is one local in this country that has continued
to grow membership when their hours fell drastically
from 1995–2010. It was a guess at best during those
lean years when and if the next major project rumor
may become a reality. During this time, Local 764 (St
John’s, Newfoundland) has maintained a strong recruiting program, and an even stronger training and apprenticeship program. Under the leadership of FST/BM
Tom Woodford and President Lawrence Hawco and the
entire staff at Local 764, the result has been an almost
16
doubling of their membership to over 1200 members.
Hard work and patience are always rewarded. Between Newfoundland and Labrador, Local 764 has over
12 billion dollars in major projects now underway, not
even including the sharp rise in institutional and commercial projects the larger projects have initiated. As
a result, the owners of construction in Newfoundland
and Labrador will benefit from Local 764’s membership growth in the very near future.
Congratulations to the leadership of all departments of Local 764 for continuing the process of recruiting and training apprentices through the lean
times. It can be done!
International Ironworkers 42nd
Convention Chicago
“PROUD PAST, BOLD FUTURE”
Another outstanding and successful convention
from opening to close will be remembered in our strong
history as an organization. Over 200 member delegates
and guests joined our American brothers and sisters in
sharing ideas and experiences. The experience enabled
the delegates and committees to develop a business
plan allowing us to put our best foot forward as an organization, and maintain future success for members,
local union, and contractors in the years to come.
To our hosts of the 42nd Convention, the District
Council of Chicago and Vicinity, thank you.
The Ironworker Management
Progressive Action Plan
Cooperative Trust
IMPACT
My favorite subject and one of our key bridges to
the future is right on track in Canada.
Delegates of 42nd Convention unanimously supported
IMPACT participation from all locals in North America.
Why? Because they have seen the valuable results
of this well structured labour/management program
developed specifically for ironworkers and the people
who hire them, our contractors.
If you are not aware of the many programs, apprenticeship training materials, and courses, here are a few:
Ironworker specific foreman training, post tensioning
training, wind turbine training; the list goes on and on.
For more info on IMPACT, and how it can better you as an
ironworker, visit www.impact-net.com. Feel free to contact your local union or district council office for more IMPACT info that is available for members and contractors.
North American labor management co-chairs of IMPACT Bill Brown and Walter Wise were recently in Van-
THE IRONWORKER
CANADIAN REPORT - continued
couver and addressed over 80 contractors and union representatives. The meeting included IMPACT presentations
and open forums where participants interacted effectively
to address the unique fit that IMPACT will bring to Canada.
Key announcements for IMPACT made by President
Wise were the establishing of three regional advisory
boards: RAB 11 District Council of Western Canada, RAB
12 Ontario District Council, and RAB13 District Council of
Eastern Canada. President Wise also announced the hiring of a Canadian IMPACT director who will work closely
with the regional advisory labour/management boards.
I would like to thank IMPACT Co-Chair President
Wise and Management Co-Chair Bill Brown, president
of Ben Hur Construction Company, for their ongoing
support in taking IMPACT to the next level in Canada.
The real beneficiary of the IMPACT program is and
will continue to be our members and our contractors.
North American union ironworkers are some of the
best-trained and skilled trades’ people in the world, proved
by our reputation within the industry. I can assure you as
members in the IMPACT and RAB management labour
boards, we will sit down and develop polices and training
needs, and that together, we will be an even more skilled,
strong, safe, and productive organization in Canada.
Canadian Ironworkers International Office
Relocation Update
This will be our Canadian Office’s last year in Sarnia,
Ontario, and for our long-term administrator Tammy
Balogh. As of the end of January, we will have relocated
the Ironworkers Canadian Office to St. Albert, Alberta.
On behalf of all the locals and members in Canada, we
thank Tammy for hard work and dedication over the
years and wish her well in her new endeavors.
Another special thanks goes to retiring Local
759 (Thunder Bay, Ontario) Business Manager John
O’Malley for his strong leadership and contributions to
Local 759’s success over his watch. He held on to the
work in some lean times and made many changes to increase the membership over 35% under his tenure.
We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize retiring shop department General Organizer Michael
Clarke, who has had a 19+ year International career including many achievements instrumental in growing membership over the years, as well as laying claim to being one of
the founders of the Shopmen’s International pension plan.
Mike, congratulations from all of us for a job well done. We
wish you and Cathy a long, safe, and happy retirement.
President Wise has since appointed Eric Bohne of
Local 712 (Vancouver, British Columbia) to the position of district representative of the Shop Department
in Canada. Eric brings a ton of skills and experience to
our shop department in Canada. The Canadian International staff looks forward to working with you. Congratulations on your appointment Eric!
As always, we want to give a moment of our thoughts
to those members and members’ families who lost loved
ones since our last report.
In closing, I wish to convey my sincere thanks to our
Canadian staff Jacques Dubois, Kevin Bryenton, Tammy Balogh, and to all the members.
Thank you to the business managers, agents, organizers, training coordinators instructors, local union
administration and service providers. This is our opportunity to thank you for your hard work and what you do
for the members and the organization every day.
On behalf of the Canadian Office and my family, we
wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!

l’acier canadiens peuvent réfléchir sur ce que Charles
Dickens a écrit dans « A Tale of Two Cities » Un conte de
deux villes: «C’était le meilleur des temps, c’était le pire
des temps ...»
Les heures construction et les heures d’atelier ont fait
des gains importants dans la dernière année ainsi que sur
les nouveaux projets et les arrêts d’entretien « Shut-down

Les travailleurs des métiers de l’acier au Canada ont à

RAPPORT POUR LE CANADA - a continué
tions géographique à l’intérieur de notre pays pour gagner leur vie.
C’est le meilleur des temps!
C’est le pire des temps?
La construction au Canada et le personnel de maintenance de la génération des baby-boomers commencent
à partir de notre effectif en faveur de la retraite. Avec cet
exode ils prennent une génération de fierté, de compétences et de connaissances précieuses de supervision.
Même avec le nombre fantastique d’apprentis et de
compagnons que nos coordonnateurs locaux de la formation syndicale et les instructeurs produisent (lequel est
dans les ± 20% + dans la plupart des locaux), nous ne seront toujours pas prêts à répondre à la demande de maind’œuvre qualifiée qui a été prévue pour les neuf prochaines
années au Canada.
Le bureau canadien travaille en collaboration avec
le président-général Wise et les membres Ironworker
Management Progressive Action Plan Cooperative
Trust (IMPACT) pour mettre en place une initiative de
mobilité Etats-Unis / Canada. L’initiative de mobilité
permettra aux membres américains de se qualifier euxmêmes afin qu’ils puissent obtenir des visas de travail
temporaire pour travailler sur des projets canadiens
qui connaissent des pénuries de travailleurs des métiers de l’acier.
Nous allons avoir un avantage sur notre concurrence
non syndiqués si nous pouvons utiliser nos confrères
américains dans la pénurie prévue. Si nous pouvons accéder aux membres américains, cela nous donnera un
avantage en signant des sous-traitants qui auraient autrement terminé leur travail non syndiqué. Pourquoi?
Parce que nous pouvons offrir un bassin de travailleurs
des métiers de l’acier qualifiés, productifs et sûrs.
Le processus de visa de travail est douloureux des
deux côtés de la frontière. Notre objectif est de rationaliser ce processus avec l’aide d’IMPACT et de nos donneurs d’ouvrage, entrepreneurs et partenaires. Coupler
cette initiative avec un peu de lobbying progressif et
nous espérons un soutien du gouvernement et nous allons connaître le succès à répondre aux exigences qui se
pointent à l’horizon.
On parle de sécurité régulièrement dans toutes les
facettes de notre industrie - il est triste de constater
qu’en tant qu’organisation, nous avons perdu 11 membres au cours de la dernière année et au Canada seulement, il y a eu deux membres tués au travail au cours
de cette même période.
Nous offrons nos plus sincères condoléances à leurs
familles et amis et nous nous rappelons des confrères
Allan Leschyshyn de la section locale 728 Winnipeg et
Kane Avery David Thorne section locale 720 Edmonton.
18
Le président général Walter Wise est totalement engagé à réduire les décès au travail à zéro. Nous devons
faire notre part tous les jours pour faire de son objectif
notre réalité.
Lorsque nous sommes au travail et nous voyons des
pratiques de travail dangereuses étant réalisée par un
de nous ou tout autre métier nous devons faire la bonne
chose et intervenir. Je sais que parfois nous ne nous
sentons pas à notre place, mais rappelez-vous cette
personne peut ne pas réaliser qu’elle met elle-même ou
éventuellement d’autres en danger quand elle travaille.
Tous et chacun ont le droit et le devoir de retourner
à la maison en santé après l’ouvrage et faisons notre
part pour y parvenir.
Le bureau canadien voudrait prendre un moment
pour féliciter notre nouveau directeur de la sécurité
IMPACT Steve Rank. En outre, nous tenons également
à le remercier pour son aide sur deux projets majeurs
au Canada, où le président Wise a assigné Steve pour
évaluer la performance de sécurité des entrepreneurs et
des membres.
Dans les deux cas et avec l’aide de Steve, nous avons
travaillé avec les syndicats locaux et le propriétaire
pour se concentrer sur la sécurité et mettre en œuvre
des pratiques novatrices dans le meilleur intérêt de
toutes les parties.
Action politique
2011 a été une année très politique pour la plupart
d’entre nous dans le mouvement syndical au Canada année que la plupart d’entre nous préféreraient oublier.
Bien que nos élus favorables aux travailleurs dans la
plupart des régions ont conservé leurs sièges, il y a eu
des attaques continuelles des organisations non syndiqués sur nos membres et les droits syndicaux dans ce
pays.
Les exemples sont monnaie courante tel que au
Québec où le gouvernement veut adopter une nouvelle
loi qui va supprimer le droit de notre syndicat à référer des membres à des employeurs. En Alberta, il y a
un mouvement par nos concurrents pour interdire les
fonds de relance du marché et des travailleurs implantés dans le but d’organiser et le gouvernement fédéral,
où les forces de droite font pression pour l’équivalent du
LM-2 américain comme exigences de déclaration pour
les syndicats canadiens.
Commercialisation et organisation
Certaines personnes disent que les réussites et
les réalisations dans notre quête pour augmenter
nos parts de marché sont difficiles à mesurer. Eh
bien confrères et consœurs ne croyez pas cette théo-
THE IRONWORKER
RAPPORT POUR LE CANADA - a continué
rie. Tout ce que vous avez à faire est de prendre une
promenade dans le territoire de votre section locale. Faisons-nous tout le travail? Est-ce l’acier que
Costco, un concessionnaire Chevrolet, et l’armature
dans l’édifice à bureaux dans votre communauté
vient d’être érigée par des travailleurs syndiqués?
Est-ce que l’armature a été placée par un entrepreneur employant des syndiqués? Est-ce que le verre
des murs rideaux a été fixé par les membres de
l’Union de vos locaux?
Nous ne soulignerons jamais assez que nous devons
faire toutes les heures de travail disponibles. Si nous
voulons maintenir notre niveau actuel de vie et de retraite dont nous jouissons aujourd’hui, alors ne laissez
personne vous dire autrement.
Nous avons besoin de la construction de préfabriqué en Saskatchewan, et nous avons besoin des projets de rénovation de murs-rideaux à Toronto. Nous
devons nous recentrer et développer des stratégies
et de récupérer notre travail perdus dans des endroits comme le Yukon, le Nunavut, les Territoires
du Nord-Ouest et les régions éloignées de ce pays où
le non-union domine le travail que nous étions habitués d’effectuer.
Notre nombre de membres au Canada est demeuré
stable durant la dernière décennie ou deux, un exploit
compte tenu des hauts et des bas de notre économie
pendant cette période. Cependant au cours des neuf
prochaines années, le Canada devrait nécessiter des
dizaines de milliers de gens de métier qualifiés pour
remplacer une main-d’œuvre vieillissante et aussi
pour fournir les exigences du travail que la construction de nouveaux projets et d’entretien amènera sur
notre chemin.
Si nous ne prenons pas cette occasion d’accroître le
nombre de nos membres et le contrôle de notre part
de marché, je peux vous garantir que la concurrence
non-union va prendre une autre grosse partie de notre
travail quand tout est dit et fait.
Nous avons les meilleures options au sein de notre
organisation pour attirer les non-syndiqués. Notre formation et notre capacité à accéder à toutes les facettes
de nos compétences nombreuses tant dans le domaine
des usines que des chantier dépasse de loin tout ce que
notre concurrence peut offrir.
Les meilleurs des temps
Il y a un Local dans ce pays qui a continué de
croître alors que leurs heures de travail sont tombées drastiquement de 1995 à 2010. C’était une supposition, au mieux, au cours de ces années de vaches maigres quand et si la rumeur du prochain grand
projet peut devenir une réalité. Pendant ce temps
DECEMBER 2011
le Local 764 à St-Jean Terre-Neuve a maintenu un
solide programme de recrutement et une formation
encore plus forte et le programme d’apprentissage.
Sous la direction de Tom Woodford SFT/GA et de
son équipe, le résultat a été d’avoir presque doublé
leur nombre à plus de 1200 membres à compter de
cette année.
Le travail acharné et la patience sont toujours
récompensés. Entre Terre-Neuve et le Labrador
le Local 764 a plus de 12 milliards de dollars dans
des projets majeurs actuellement en cours. Cela ne
comprend même pas la forte augmentation des projets institutionnels et commerciaux que les grands
projets ont entrainés. En conséquence, les propriétaires et constructeurs à Terre-Neuve et Labrador
profiteront de la croissance du 764 dans un avenir
très proche.
Je f é l i c i t e d o n c l e s d i r i g e a n t s d e t o u s l e s

apprenticeship Department Plans for the future
P
lanning is a key factor in the success of many aspects
of our lives—and the same applies to the future of
Iron Worker apprenticeship training and journeyman
upgrading programs. With this in mind, in early September of this year staff members from the Apprenticeship
and Training Department and IMPACT met for several
days of strategic planning.
The first topic of discussion was the annual Instructor Training Program. Meeting participants reviewed the
evaluations of the program held in July of 2011 with a
focus on how to improve the program in 2012. As a result
of the meeting, several major changes are being implemented for the 28th Annual Ironworker Instructor Training Program.
• All program participants requesting a free dormitory
room will be housed on the campus of the University of
Michigan. We are confident that having all of our participants housed in the same dormitory with a cafeteria close by will be well received.
• T
here will be a meeting of all apprenticeship coordinators and directors held in conjunction with the program. The date of this important one-day meeting is
Saturday, July 14, 2012.
• T
heclosingsessionwillbeheldonThursdayevening
on the campus of Washtenaw Community College. This
will allow those driving to the program to leave after
courses conclude on Friday afternoon.
The dates for the annual program are July 15–20, 2012.
More information on the 28th Annual Ironworker Instructor Training Program (including a list of new courses) will
be sent to all local unions.
Another major area of discussion centered on the plans
for the biennial Apprenticeship Competition. The 2012 Apprenticeship Competition will be held at Local 22 in Indianapolis during September of 2012. Specific dates and more
information on the competition will be sent to all local unions.
During the past seven years the Apprenticeship and
Training Department, working through the National
Training Fund and with IMPACT, has been developing
new training packages and materials. This initiative will
continue in 2012 as we focus on the following new and revised training packages:
• General Foreman and Superintendent Training for
Ironworkers will be available in early 2012 as a hybrid self-study and online course for any member who
is interested. Working closely with IMPACT, there will
also be a group-based course for sponsored participants
who complete the self-study course.
• T
he Foreman Training for Ironworkers manual and
course have been very well received during the six years
DECEMBER 2011
since first implemented.
During 2012, we plan to
work closely with IMPACT
to revise the manual and
course to better meet the
needs of U.S. and Canadian
foremen.
• I MPACT has received a
number of requests for a
Foreman Training for Shop
Ironworkers training package. We will be working with IMPACT and the development and implementation of this training package.
• P
re-Engineered Metal Buildings was the first new
training package we developed seven years ago. Given
the changes in metal building systems and our need to
capture more of this market, we will be updating this
training package.
• W
e continue to receive requests for short courses on
forklift operation, roadway flagger, and fire watch. During 2012, we will be developing a single DVD that will
contain training materials local unions can use to deliver training in these three areas.
• L
eadHazardTrainingforIronworkersmaterialshave
been available for a number of years. During 2012, we
will be reviewing current lead hazard training methods and materials and will revise our training package
accordingly.
We are confident that these and other decisions made
during the planning meeting will result in products and
services that our local unions and shops in the United
States and Canada will be able to use to develop ironworkers to better meet the needs of our contractors.

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

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

IV. Outreach services to district councils,
local unions and ImPacT
I want to make every effort to participate in district council meetings, local union meetings, and IMPACT regional
advisory board meetings throughout the United States
and Canada to identify any safety and health issues that
warrant our attention. There is a variety of safety issues
that often arise on projects within the district councils
and state OSHA plans throughout the country. These is-

requirements may require individual focus and attention
to prevent incidents and/or costly jobsite delays. Following are some of the services and regulatory assistance
that I am willing to provide upon request.

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

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

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