Veterans Deserve
Our Thanks and Appreciation
E
In an effort to meet our workforce
demands, I appointed Executive Director
of Apprenticeship Lee Worley and General
Vice President Kevin Bryenton to co-chair
a committee to establish best practices to
improve our ability to recruit more veterans, women, inner city residents, minorities,
welders, rodmen and open shop ironworkers. The recruitment committee will also
look at best practices for graduation rates to
increase the return on the investment of our
training dollars. The higher the graduation
rate, the less money wasted on those who do
not attain journeyman status. Our union
needs to replace those retiring but also needs
to meet the rising demand for workers as the
construction economy increases.
The committee will explore apprentice
selection procedures and methods of locals
and look at the most effective way to deliver
instruction to achieve the best outcome.
Our training programs are vital to our
future to provide the best workers in the
industry. The committee will give its first
report at our bi-annual apprentice competition in Houston in September 2016, hosted
by Local Union 84 (Houston) and the Texas
and Mid-South States District Council.
To our ironworker veterans, who we
honor this November and every future
November, know your service is appreciated. Those members fortunate enough
to enjoy a collectively bargained day off,
remember the intention of the day: To
honor veterans for their patriotism, love
of country, and willingness to serve and
sacrifice for the common good. And if you
are privileged to work alongside a veteran,
show them your gratitude with a simple
yet meaningful thank you. Our debt to
them is great.

NOVEMBER 2015 |
very November we recognize the
service of our U.S. and Canadian veterans on Veterans Day and Remembrance
Day. I did not serve in the military, but my
father served two different times in the
Army. In my office, I have a picture of him
in his uniform and his flag to remind me of
his service to our country.
When I was initiated in my local
union, many of the members had served
in the military. I personally worked with
and met members who served in World
War II, Korea and Vietnam, as well as
many who served in peacetime. Since
then, I have also met members who served
on peacekeeping missions to Kosovo, Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe those
who served a great deal of respect and a
debt of gratitude.
We found a way to show our appreciation for those who served. The building
trades developed the Helmets to Hardhats
Program in the U.S. and Canada, which
assists honorably discharged veterans with
direct entry into any trade by having a
specific skill related to the trade or simply
giving them extra points in their selection
criteria when applying for apprentice programs for having served.
As the military continues its downsizing, I am asking all JATCs, TICs, TIPs,
employers and local unions to consider
increasing the number of veterans who
are selected into our ranks through our
apprentice programs and as probationary
members. It is a debt we owe them and
we will greatly benefit from their skills
and abilities. With so many baby boomers retiring and apprenticeship programs
competing with universities for high
school graduates, why not lean towards
men and women who served and are in
need of employment. These veterans have
already chosen something other than secondary education.

The UNION VETERANS COUNCIL Cares About Our Veterans
W
healthcare delivered through a strong, fully
funded and staffed VA.
Yet our mission extends beyond veterans.
Our advocacy will lift all working people,
because the issues facing veterans and those
facing working families aren’t independent of
each other—a lack of good jobs and attacks on
healthcare impact each one of us.
We want veterans and all working people to
enjoy the freedoms we fought to protect. That’s
what the Union Veterans Council is all about.
We fight for those who’ve fought for us, and we
work together for a better life.
That’s what we’re doing. And we want to do

Veterans Council. We need your help: Signup (unionveterans.org) and share information

Union Veterans Council, AFL-CIO
NOVEMBER 2015 |
henever I am asked to provide remarks
somewhere—a local union meeting, a
convention, an executive board meeting, you
name it—I always take a moment at the beginning to ask all the veterans in the room to stand.
I do this for one main reason. No, that main
reason isn’t to simply say thanks—I’ll leave that
for the football games. No, my reasoning is to
remind all in attendance that our union ranks
are chock-full of veterans. Chock-full. In fact,
not once have fewer than 35 percent stood up.
Sometimes it’s more like 75 percent.
That should come as a surprise to no one.
You see, the working class and the veterans
class are one in the same. When you’re talking to people who work, you’re often also
talking to people who served. When you see
folks fighting for their rights on the job here at
home, very often those same folks fought for
our rights overseas.
Every movement and organization begins
with an idea. An idea can give a movement
birth, nourish it through infancy and sustain
it through adversity. Simply put, the idea of the
Union Veterans Council is to improve the lives
of veterans and working people. When someone takes off his or her uniform, we want to
make sure he or she can get a good job—and
have dignity and respect and the ability to bargain collectively on the job. We want him or her
to have access to the healthcare they earned—

Yet Another Form of Voter Suppression
V
SIX MILLION AMERICANS
ARE DEPRIVED OF
THIS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
through a legal practice
of voter suppression known as
felony disenfranchisement.
NOVEMBER 2015 |
oting is the cornerstone of our democracy
and the fundamental right of all adult American citizens. Yet, 6 million Americans
are banned from participating in the democratic
process. Six million Americans – 2.5 percent of our
nation’s voting age population – are deprived of this
fundamental right through a legal practice of voter
suppression known as felony disenfranchisement.
Felony disenfranchisement is the legal term for
revoking the right to vote because of a person’s unlawful past. If a person has committed a felonious crime,
it is extremely likely that person’s right to vote has
been rescinded. What constitutes a felony offense
differs from state to state with some states imposing
strict penalties even for non-violent acts; e.g., writing
a bad check, disorderly conduct, or DUIs.
Felony disenfranchisement is not a federal law, and
therefore is a power reserved for each state to enact and
enforce. All but two states have enacted some form of
felony disenfranchisement, and each law is written and
interpreted differently. Because these laws vary state by
state, knowing and understanding who is legally eligible
to vote is confusing. Many of these laws are intentionally complex, and information on these practices is not
easily attainable by the public.
Forty-eight states practice some form of felony
disenfranchisement. Twelve states restrict the right to
vote to all currently incarcerated persons. Four states
disenfranchise those currently incarcerated and released
on parole. Nineteen states disenfranchise those currently
incarcerated, released on parole and still on probation. Twelve states disenfranchise even those who have
completed all terms and conditions of their sentencing.
(See map on next page for more information).
Within the 12 states that disenfranchise offenders
post sentence, the conditions of restoring voting rights
vary greatly. For example, Delaware, Florida, and Virginia require a five-year waiting period before rights are
13
restored – though restoration is subject to the nature
of the crime committed. Nebraska requires a two-year
waiting period, and Arizona only disenfranchises after
a second felonious conviction.
Many states do not have rules in place for automatic
restoration – instead voting rights may only be restored
on a case-by-case basis by personally petitioning the
state’s governor, a burdensome, complex and timeconsuming process with a success rate that varies 1–16
percent state by state.
Rates of incarceration have been steadily increasing
for decades. Today, 2.2 million people are imprisoned.
This year, 600,000 of them will be released, and the
majority of them will have been forced to forfeit their
right to vote. Since 1980, the number of U.S. citizens that
have been disenfranchised has increased by 500 percent.
These are not insignificant numbers. Of the 6 million
disenfranchised, only 25 percent of them are currently
incarcerated. There are 4.5 million people living and
working in communities throughout our country alienated from participating in our democracy.
Voter suppression laws have become more prevalent
in recent years. Seventeen states now require all voters
to show a state-issued identification card when casting
a ballot. Some states have tightened requirements on
absentee ballots and limited early voting. Factor in the
millions affected by felony disenfranchisement, and it
is not surprising voter turnout rates have been on the
decline for 50 years. In fact, 2014 had the lowest turnout
in modern history.
If all adult citizens were afforded equal voting rights
and protection under the law, the nature of electoral
politics would change. In many elections, the number
of disenfranchised in the state is often greater than
the margin of victory. Infamously, if the hundreds of
thousands of disenfranchised Floridians were able to
vote in the 2000 presidential election, the winner could
have been decidedly different.
A career in construction is a path that many with
a blemished record choose because the construction
industry typically does not require background checks
or ask about a person’s past. As such, our industry and
trade may be disproportionately more affected by felony
disenfranchisement than others.
Felony disenfranchisement undermines the open,
participatory nature of the democratic process. To
extend punishment beyond the confines of prison is
to further marginalize and alienate millions of our
neighbors from our communities.
For more information on felony disenfranchisement laws and
restoration of voting rights in your state, contact the Ironworkers
Political Action League at [email protected].
In many elections, the number of disenfranchised in the state is
OFTEN GREATER THAN THE MARGIN OF VICTORY.

PRIMARIES
2015
W
e’re in the final months of 2015. In the United States,
that means the presidential election is about to kick into
high gear. Get ready for non-stop ads and news coverage
of the race all the way through next November.
✪ WHY PRIMARIES?
The primaries weren’t always the way major
U.S. political parties nominated their candidates. Power used to rest entirely with party
insiders who chose candidates at conventions,
away from the public eye. Backroom deals were
common and the nominee was indebted to the
party elites who chose him. People voted in primaries, but the results were only used to prove
to party bigwigs their favored candidate could
win votes. Everyday people didn’t have much
voice in the process.
That changed in 1968. Television news coverage had brought the formerly-secret action
of party conventions into light. The incumbent Democratic President, Lyndon Johnson,
had decided not to run again, and the candidate who had performed best in the primaries,
Robert Kennedy, had been assassinated. Democratic Party bosses strong-armed their favored
candidate, Hubert Humphrey, to the nomination, even though Humphrey hadn’t received
any primary votes. Convention floor fights and
massive protests were an embarrassment to the
party, and Humphrey lost badly in the general
election to Richard Nixon.
After the 1968 convention, both parties
realized that the old way of nominating candidates had to go. Party reforms increased the
power of voters, leading to the primary system we have today.
NOVEMBER 2015 |
Unlike in Canada, where the campaign for
federal Parliament lasts only a few weeks or
months, the election for the presidency of the
United States is a drawn-out slog to the finish
line. Part of this is due to the outsized role of
money in U.S. politics. With unlimited corporate money, campaigns can afford to keep ads
running and canvassers knocking as long as
they want. Largely, though, the long campaign
is due to a unique feature of U.S. presidential
politics: The presidential primary elections.
Primaries are the elections American
political parties use to select their presidential
candidates. At the beginning of the campaign,
many different people all compete to be the
Republican or Democratic Parties’ standard
bearers. Primaries serve to test these candidates
and winnow away the ones who can’t take the
heat of the national campaign trail. In the end,
only one candidate is left standing in each party,
and these two candidates compete for the presidency in the general election.
15
PRIMARIES 2015
✪ HOW IT WORKS
The primaries are a series of elections
from January to July, one for each
state and U.S. territory. Voters choose
between the various candidates
fighting for each party’s nomination. Candidates compete in small
states like Iowa, New Hampshire
and Nevada first, where grassroots
campaigns can get out and talk to
voters directly. Large states, and
large groups of states, have their
elections next. Voters in later states
watch the results of early primaries
to see if their favorite candidate can
compete. Weak candidates drop out
throughout the process. Usually one
candidate is the clear winner by the
end of the primary season.
Since the point of primary elections is to choose a party’s standard
bearer, Republicans and Democrats
usually have separate primaries.
The rules for these elections vary
from state to state. Some states have
“closed primaries” requiring voters
to register as members of a party
beforehand to vote. Other states
have “open primaries,” and voters
can vote in whichever party’s election they like. Either way, people
can only vote in one party’s primary
each year – no double dipping!
Unlike in presidential general
elections, where only two candidates
have a real chance at winning, primaries usually offer many candidates
in each party to choose from. This is
good for voters, since we have a better
chance of finding a candidate who
represents us. If you want to make
your voice heard in the political process, voting in your state’s primary is
a great place to start.
This system isn’t perfect. One
of the biggest problems is that the
first two states to vote, Iowa and
New Hampshire, don’t represent
the American population very well.
Voters in larger, more diverse states
don’t have their voices heard until
later in the campaign. By that time,
many candidates may have dropped
out. That doesn’t make late state
voters meaningless, but it does give
early state voters an outsized influence over the nomination process.
The Republican and Democratic
Parties had not published their official primary calendars by the time
this article went to press. Contact
your business manager to find out
when your party’s primary will
happen in your state, and where
the candidates stand on issues that
matter to us as ironworkers.

✪ THE CONVENTION
The primary season ends with the
party national conventions. Delegates from the states and territories
gather to officially nominate their
party’s candidate for president of
the United States. In 2016, Republicans will hold their convention in
Cleveland and Democrats will hold
theirs in Philadelphia.

nominee wasn’t known beforehand
was the 1976 Republican convention, when Ronald Reagan came
close to beating unpopular President Gerald Ford in the primaries.
These days, primaries are more of a
publicity event for parties to advertise their nominees. Delegates also
use the convention as a chance to
vote on policies in the national party
platform. Ironworkers and other
unions go to party conventions to
speak out for policies benefitting
working families.
After this long process, the nominee is only halfway done. He or she
still has to face the other party’s
nominee in the general presidential
election. With such a long and difficult series of primary elections, only
the most determined candidates
make it to this stage. Our union will
be engaged throughout the primaries and the general election to make
sure the next president of the United
States is a friend to ironworkers and
all working people.
NOVEMBER 2015 |
Primary voters cast their ballots
for presidential candidates, but
the final choice of nominee comes
down to delegates at the convention. Each party holds a convention
at the end of the primary season,
and each state sends delegates
based on the size of its population. State delegates are usually
pledged to support the candidate
their state’s voters chose during
the primary. This is opposed to the
old system, when delegates were
pledged to support the candidates
favored by their local party bosses
and political machines.
How are these delegates chosen?
That varies by state and political
party. Sometimes delegates are chosen by caucuses after the primary or
at a state convention. For example,
Iron Workers Political and Legislative Director Dave Kolbe was
chosen as an Ohio delegate to the
Democratic conventions in 2008
and 2012 during state party caucuses. Whether you are a Democrat
or a Republican, becoming a del-
egate to your party’s convention is
a way to represent the interests of
your fellow ironworkers. If you are
interested, look up the rules for your
state party’s delegate selection and
see if your local and central labor
council can help you get elected.
There is a second type of delegate:
“unpledged” or “super delegates.”
Super delegates are party leaders
and high-profile elected officials
who are automatically granted delegate status based on their office.
They are outnumbered by pledged
delegates from the states, but are
free to support any candidate they
choose. Super delegates usually
don’t sway the outcome of the nomination, but can serve as a tiebreaker
if primary voters are split between
two or more candidates.

[ A HELMETS TO HARDHATS JOURNEY ]
FROM soldier
TO UNION IRONWORKER
S
taff Sergeant Ronny Parayno spent nine
years in the United States Army. Sergeant
Parayno learned three very important
skills during his service in the Army:
teamwork, resourcefulness and selfdiscipline. The Army emphasizes these three skills in
order to help individuals set small goals for themselves
and overcome obstacles in their way preventing them
from achieving their goals.
Once his enlistment ended, Ronny enrolled in college
courses at the public university in Anchorage, Alaska.
His next three goals were to earn a college education,
find a career and start a family. But after he earned his
college degree, he found it was difficult for him to find
the job he really wanted.
Ronny kept noticing an organization by the name
of Helmets to Hardhats was continuously advertising
skilled trade apprenticeships on Facebook. Twitter was
providing updated news and information about construction jobs and success stories regarding military
people like himself finding rewarding careers in the
skilled trades after being discharged.
Parayno found the right opportunity at Local 63
in Chicago where he is now an apprentice working for
Industrial Fence Inc. (IFI), a signatory fence contractor
with Local 63. “Ironwork is a perfect fit for my skill set,”
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A JOB, OR A CAREER?
If you’re looking for a career, you’re in the right place. Helmets to Hardhats connects quality men and women from the Armed Forces with promising building and construction careers.

says Ronny. “My on-the-job training exposes me to practical job applications.” Using the skill sets he learned in
the Army “puts me in a position to adapt a sense of team
mindedness for safety, a sense of resourcefulness to
overcome the physical demands and the self-discipline
to make things happen,” states Parayno.
When asked to name the top three benefits of joining
the Iron Workers Union, Ronny gave us this:
• WAGE EQUALITY – Gaining employment though
the union provides a good wage.
• SOLIDARITY – As a union member, he’s part
of an international organization where each person
on his left and right is called a brother or sister.
IFI is a signatory contractor with Local 63 in Chicago and currently employs over 50 union ironworkers.
The company is owned and operated by Mike Saltijeral.
Mike is a United States Marine and received high expeditionary and commendation medals for his duty in
Panama and the Persian Gulf War. When he returned
to Chicago after his military service, he entered the construction industry and started Industrial Fence in 1999.
We thank Mike for his service to our country and his
innovation to not only be a business owner but, to be a
signatory employer as well.
We are proud to have brother Ronny Parayno as a
member of Local 63 and our great International Union.
He is another outstanding success story of Helmets to
Hardhats transitioning quality people from the military
to union ironworker.

42 years working in the field and retired in
September 2009. He traveled to Washington, D.C.
with his wife Judy.
• Harvey McDaniel, Local 384, served three
years in the United States Army including a
one-and-a-half-year tour in Vietnam. Harvey
began working as an ironworker upon his return
to the United States in 1971. A third generation
ironworker, Harvey retired in 2014 after working
43 years in the field and on many jobs for the
Tennessee Valley Authority. He is a lifetime
member of Local 384 (Knoxville, Tenn.). He was
accompanied to Washington, D.C. by his wife
Cynthia, two daughters, and four grandchildren.
• Edward Warner III, Local 838, served 10 years
in the United States Navy and has traveled throughout the world on missions to the Mediterranean
Sea and South America. Edward became an
ironworker in 2004. He has served as a shop
steward at Supreme Steel for nine years and as
president of Local 838 (Regina, Saskatchewan)
for eight years. Originally from Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, Edward now lives in Waldheim,

and will lead the way into state-of-the-art transportation. There are 1,200 apprentices in the San
Francisco/Oakland area. Heading down to Texas:
The Austin market has exploded with great ornamental projects, including the Colorado Building.
Heading up to Chicago: The high-rises are in

continued success and great
growth. Hats off to the leadership team! They are innovative
in targeting expansion for training facilities and
procuring an excellent skilled work force.
Local 512 Gains Membership
and Market Share
A huge part of Local 512’s success is due to their
commitment to training. After years of renting space
at a local technical college, Local 512 developed and
built their own 18,000-square-foot training center
in 2001. Shortly after the merger, their commitment
to training continued. It was decided to build a
training center in northern Minnesota, which is
now referred to as Region B. Since the training
center has been built, membership, man-hours and
market share has doubled in Region B. The large
number of apprentices and the amount of training
provided to all members necessitated a $4 million,
19,000-square-foot addition to be added to the St.
Paul Training Center.
With this success in mind and a grant from
IMPACT, Local 512 has purchased land in Mandan,
North Dakota and is working with a general
contractor to develop a training center for members
in North Dakota. By the time classes start in the fall
of 2016, with the completion of the North Dakota
Training Center, Local 512 and the JATC will have
three facilities, 65,000 square feet combined, six
full-time staff and 34 instructors. Local 512 feels
education and training are going to be the keys to
the success of the Iron Workers. If we as an indus-

and the new addition needed to look like the original and perform as it should in 2015. The curtain
wall consists of a lot of odd corners, mullions dead
loaded at the top loaded with steel and custom
copper covers. It had a total of 1,771 ironworker
man-hours. The total station is a huge part of quickly
and successfully laying out a complex wall like this.
The contractor on the project was W.L. Hall.

SAFETY & HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORT
Steve Rank
Does Your Workplace Make Safety a Function
of Company Operations?
T
he Safety and Health
Department reviews incident trends involving members
throughout the United States
and Canada to identify
contributing factors and methods to prevent
reoccurrence. With the continued support
and resources of General President Eric Dean,
the International Associations’ Zero Fatality &
Incident Campaign challenges all members to SEE
SOMETHING! SAY SOMETHING! and intervene
to prevent unsafe conditions and unsafe acts in
the workplace. Many of the fatalities and disabling
injuries affecting our members continue to stem
from the same common activities and hazards.
There is a distinct difference in safety performance
and zero injury outcomes between large industrial projects and commercial projects. This article
emphasizes the primary deadly dozen activities
and hazards for field and shop operations, and
our focus to prevent workplace incidents.
Field Operations:
• Falls due to unprotected
or inadequate floor
opening covers.
• Overloading and collapse
of unsecured open web
steel joists.
• Lack of fall protection
and inadequate use of fall
arrest equipment.
• Falls during installation
of floor and roof decking.
• Material handling during
steel erection and reinforcing steel activities.
• Column collapse due to anchor bolt failure and/or
insufficient concrete strength.
• Structural collapse of unsupported reinforcing
steel columns, walls and decks.
• Struck-by injuries from falling fall objects, tools
and equipment.
24
• Caught-between injuries during hoisting
and rigging operations.
• Impalement from unprotected reinforcing dowels
or other vertical projections.
• Electrical hazards and injuries from high-voltage
power lines.
• Heat illness and toxic exposure to chemicals
and airborne contaminants.
Shop Operations:
• Exposure to toxic welding fumes that create
serious health hazards.
• Striking hazards during material handling, loading
and unloading trucks.
• Dismemberment pertaining to machine
guarding of shear presses, punch presses
and other equipment.
• Rigging failure and use of chains, slings, plate dogs
and other rigging equipment.
• Hazards pertaining to use of overhead rail cranes,
gantry cranes and other cranes.
• Hazards pertaining to use of forklifts and my jacks.
• Exposure to toxic paints and chemicals through
inhalation and skin absorption.
• Exposures to airborne metals, dust and compounds
during grinding and hot work operations.
• Electrical hazards, de-energizing equipment
and lock-out tag-out systems.
• Improper signals, communication and clearances.
• Exposure to heat illness and dehydration.
• Lack of protective equipment.
Is your Workplace Safe?
In April of this year, the Safety and Health Department established a safety webcast for contractors and
local unions called Establishing Safety Programs &
Policies as a Function of Company Operations. This
webcast highlights some of the fundamental safety
functions that should be implemented in field and
shop workplaces. To view this webcast, please visit
our websites at ironworkers.org or impact-net.org.
The following are some of the safety program
initiatives that should be implemented and easily
recognized in your workplace.
1.Project Planning-Developing a Job Hazard
Analysis and Site Specific Safety Plan
Prior to the erection process, your employer
should communicate a list of site specific safety
procedures that address potential hazards on
the project? Working near power lines, fall
hazards, hoisting and rigging considerations
and maintaining structural stability are just a
few examples of safety issues that should be
communicated to you.
2.D esignating Qualified & Competent
Ironworkers to Perform Specific
Safety Functions
Your employer should designate competent and
qualified persons in the workplace to perform
certain safety functions, such as installation
of safety cables and implementing workplace
inspections. It is your employer’s responsibility
to designate these persons.
SEE
W H AT ’S
NEW!
3.Employee Safety Training and Instruction
These should be several safety training and instruction topics pertaining to the recognition and avoidance of hazards in the workplace. Some of these
topics can be standard company policy and other
topics that are specific to hazards in your workplace.
4.Workplace Inspections
Your employer should designate a competent person
to perform workplace inspections on a frequent
and regular basis. The competent person has the
authority of their employer to take corrective action
to abate unsafe acts or conditions in the workplace.
5.Enforcement of Company
Safety Policies and Procedures
Any employer safety and health program should
require enforcement of company safety policies and
procedures to protect all workers on the worksite.
The International Association will continue the Zero
Fatality & Incident Campaign to increase safety performance and help protect our members in the field and
shop. This goal challenges all members to See Something! Say Something! to help recognize and avoid the
deadly dozen activities and hazards during field and
shop operations. Jeff Norris, Canadian safety coordinator, and I will continue to work closely with district
councils, local unions and IMPACT regional advisory
boards throughout the United States and Canada to
help improve safety performance. If I can provide any
assistance, please contact me at the Safety and Health
Department at (800) 368-0105. If you require assistance
in Canada, please contact Jeff Norris at (780) 717-0071.

Ironworker Apprenticeship
Certification Program:
Ten Years Old and Going Strong!
I
t is hard to believe but it has
been 10 years since our first
apprenticeship programs were
certified under the Ironworker
Apprenticeship Certification Program (IACP). Those
were our regional training centers in Benicia,
California, St. Louis and northern New Jersey.
In December 2004, under the leadership of
General President Joseph Hunt, a committee including apprenticeship coordinators, international staff,
district council presidents and employers met to
work on a number of important initiatives. General
President Hunt charged this committee with the task
of establishing a minimum core curriculum for all
mixed local union apprenticeship programs across
the United States and Canada. A similar minimum
core curriculum was later completed for each of the
specialty local unions including reinforcing, structural, and architectural and ornamental.
As an incentive to implement the core curriculum
and to strengthen our apprenticeship programs, the
Apprenticeship and Training Department developed
the Ironworker Apprenticeship Certification Program
(IACP). This year we recognize the 10th anniversary
of the implementation of the IACP.
“The IACP is a fantastic program. The
experience of becoming certified as
the apprentice coordinator at Local 721
and then assisting the other five locals
in the Ontario Council to achieve the
same as the council president was very
rewarding. It is a tremendous valueadded benefit for the local unions and
their training staff. The process is very
adaptable to the rubric of the Canadian
curriculum and I would recommend
highly that each program undertake to
achieve the IACP endorsement.”
Kevin Bryenton | President
Ontario District Council
26
The primary purpose of the IACP is to improve
and standardize the knowledge and skills of
apprenticeship training. Additional reasons for the
certification program include:
1.Certifies an apprenticeship program has met
established minimum standards;
2.Improves the credibility of the apprenticeship
program with contractors;
3.Encourages apprenticeship programs to seek
higher standards;
4.Involves the apprenticeship coordinator, instructors
and JATC in strengthening their program;
5.Provides the public with a positive image and
validates that an apprenticeship training program
meets or exceeds high standards:
6.Facilitates the process for apprentices to receive
college credit and pursue a degree.
The IACP process begins with an internal evaluation. Using the IACP Evaluation Guide, an internal
self-evaluation is conducted. The internal evaluation
team consists of the apprenticeship coordinator,
instructors and the labor and management representatives from the JATC. This team is responsible
for conducting a comprehensive examination of all
aspects of their apprenticeship program. Contractors and apprentices are welcome additions to the
internal self-evaluation team.
“The IACP played a major role in
my development as a coordinator. It
provides a clear blueprint showing
the important elements to strengthen
an apprenticeship training program.
If followed, the IACP enables an
apprenticeship program to meet and
exceed the rigorous demands of today’s
ironworking trade.”
Reis James | Industrial Analyst
Southeastern States District Council
General officers with Local 387 Apprentice Coordinator Chris Tobiasson receiving IACP certificate.
The IACP self-evaluation includes eight standards
the local union apprenticeship program must meet.
These are reviewed by the internal evaluation team
and include:
1.Standard 1: Purpose and Administration –
The apprenticeship program should have clearly
stated goals relating to the needs of apprentices
and contractors.
2.Standard 2: Learning Resources – All training
materials are consistent with the goals and objectives
of the training program.
3.Standard 3: Apprentice Services – There is a
systematic and fair apprentice selection process
and record-keeping system.
4.Standard 4: Instruction – The recommended core
curriculum and course syllabi are available for the
local curriculum.
5.Standard 5: Safety and Equipment – All tools
and equipment are available to support the
local curriculum.
6.Standard 6: Facilities – The physical facilities at the
training center are adequate to support the learning
needs of all apprentices.
7.Standard 7: Instructional Staff – All instructional
staff have the required technical and instructional
skills to facilitate learning.
8.Standard 8: Job Training – Policies and procedures
are in place to support the on-the-job training
segment of the apprenticeship program.
NOVEMBER 2015 |
After the internal self-evaluation is complete, an
external evaluation site visit is scheduled. The external evaluation site visit team generally consists of a
team of one or two members from the International
and one outside evaluator. The site visitation team
examines the results of the self-evaluation and conducts interviews with the apprenticeship coordinator,
instructors, JATC members and apprentices. Upon
completion of the site visit, a final report is developed
including recommendations for strengthening and
improving the program. At the conclusion of the
report is a recommendation to grant initial certification or re-certification of a program or, in some cases,
a recommendation the program not be certified until
specific changes have been made.
Being an IACP certified apprenticeship program is
also an expectation of the International. One of the Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) for local union performance is their apprenticeship program is certified.
To date, 112 ironworker apprenticeship programs
in the United States and Canada have been certified! A complete listing of certified programs can
be found at http://www.ironworkers.org/training/
certified-local-union-apprenticeship-programs.
To assist the local unions in
building a strong apprenticeship
program, one that can meet the
IACP requirements, the Apprenticeship and Training Department
developed curriculum materials for all courses in the required
core curriculum, as well as materials for many of
the supplemental courses. All curriculum materials
are available from the Apprenticeship and Training
Department, including reference manuals, instructor
guides, student workbooks, DVDs, etc.
We are confident the IACP has resulted in the
strengthening of our apprenticeship programs
allowing us to better meet the need of our contractors. Our goal is to have 100 percent of our local
union programs certified in the coming years.
For additional information on the IACP, contact
Michael Sampson in the Apprenticeship and
Training Department ([email protected]).

IMPACT Regional Director Recognized
by Helmets to Hardhats
Commitment to Recruiting Veterans Showcased
by Continued Helmets to Hardhats Initiative
I
MPACT Canadian Regional Director Bert Royer
was recognized in June by Helmets to Hardhats
Canada for his dedication to helping veterans
transition into the skilled trades.
According to the Office of the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, 550 veterans leave military service each
day who are potentially looking
to start new, quality careers and
successfully transition back into
civilian life. The commitment
to safety, excellence and working as a team are just a few of the
qualities the Iron Workers hold
in high regard and that make
excellent ironworkers.
As deployments end and
drawdowns continue, Helmets
to Hardhats and the Iron
Workers will move forward in their mission to help
transitioning veterans find career opportunities in the
U.S. and Canadian construction industries.
“I am honored to be recognized by Helmets to Hardhats,” Royer said when he accepted the award June 10,
2015. “The Iron Workers and our employers value the
diligence and perseverance of veterans, and those qualities are in line with the Iron Workers mentality. We are
working diligently to recruit, train and deliver the best
ironworkers in the world. We’re starting by recruiting
the bravest men and women around: veterans.”
Helmets to Hardhats is a building trades initiative to provide career opportunities to men and
women who are veterans of the armed forces. Royer,
working at the request of Iron Workers Director of
Canadian Affairs Darrell LaBoucan, serves as the
liaison between the Canadian ironworkers and Helmets to Hardhats to recruit
veterans into the ironworking
trade. He continues to assist
Canadian veterans with their
transition into the ironworking industry.
“Through the history of the
Iron Workers, membership has
swelled with proud veterans,”
says Iron Workers General
President Eric Dean. “Their
service has not only protected
nations – it has helped to build them.”
“Veterans did not serve just one day a year – they
laid their lives on the line. We remain unwavering in
our support of the men and women in uniform, as well
as in our commitment to provide quality career options
to build our great nations,” says Dean. “Our program
offers men and women wanting to join the building and
construction industry the chance for good, fair wages
with benefits while they learn. The program plays an
important role in the growth and development of a safe
and productive workforce.”

Subject: 2015 National AFL-CIO United Way
Endorsement and Renewed Partnership
The United Way has been one of the AFL-CIO’s national partners
for almost 75 years. Throughout those years, the AFL-CIO has
worked through their differences with United Way and created
a stronger relationship that will continue to improve. The AFLCIO and the International Association of Bridge, Structural,
Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers are opening a
new chapter with United Way, by taking a fresh look at our
relationship, building on our strengths and addressing concerns
of our organizations.
We value our United Way partnership and we still believe that
giving to United Way is the best way for working families to
have an impact in communities across the United States. Local
United Way chapters continue to fund and support AFL-CIO labor
liaisons and labor agencies that provide staffing to advocate for
programs supporting education, financial stability and health
for working families. We, along with United Way Worldwide,
continue to focus on creating a strong partnership supporting the
goals for the common good.
I endorse and support the 2015 United Way campaign and
encourage you to do the same.
Fraternally yours,
Reserve Your Spot Today!
