SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Sarah Lawrence College rests on 44 wooded acres
in Yonkers near Bronxville. Established in 1926,
Sarah Lawrence is recognized as among the most
prestigious colleges in the region.
During the years, the college has produced notable alumni, including
mayors of major cities, world famous broadcasters, and a long list
of figures in the arts, government, business, and academics. In late

August, the facilities crew at Sarah Lawrence was preparing for yet
another hectic fall semester. Classrooms were getting the last coat
of paint, workers were putting the finishing touches on dorm rooms,
the HVAC systems were being prepared for the coming winter, and
all hands were on deck to ensure another smooth year. This semester,
however, was going to be different than others. The facilities crew
was quietly meeting with Local 30 representatives and developing an
organizing campaign.

From
Business Manager
william lynn
First and foremost, I would like to wish all of our Local 30 brothers and sisters
a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Last year was most certainly
a year of change within the Local and I am confident that 2015 will bring
good fortune to Local 30. As I sit back and look back on the past year, we have
many things to be grateful for and even more to look forward to.
As you are aware, Local 30 will be making
major changes in 2015 as we open our new
headquarters at 16-16 Whitestone Expressway.
This is a move that I have personally been
waiting a very long time for, and it allows our
members to have a place that we all can call our
new home. Our 60,000-square-foot building will
house some of the most innovative technology in
our industry, such as solar energy, cogeneration
systems, and a LEED Gold Certification by the
U.S. Green Building Council.
I am proud to say that Local 30’s members have
always been committed to their work and to the
City. Local 30 recently received an award from the
National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations for the
courageous acts of its members staying behind on
Ellis Island in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. Our
members worked around the clock to ensure that
Ellis Island would not bow in defeat to the storm
that ravaged so many of our members’ homes. It is
an honor to accept these types of awards, as they
show that all of our members are defined by their
dedication to their trade and to their union. We
should all be proud.
Throughout 2014 and continuing into 2015,
Local 30 has, and will continue, our organizing
campaigns. Our biggest assets in this effort are
our own members who continually provide us with
leads, which have proven to be highly successful.
In 2014, we organized more than 150 new
members who now have the ability to provide a
stable future for themselves and their families.
Jobsites such as Sarah Lawrence College, Stamford
Water Treatment Plant, Broadway Mall, JFK Jet Blue
Terminal 5, Molloy College, Nextera Energy Power
Plant, and many others sites are now proud new
additions to our Local, and I look forward to many
more in 2015.
On the municipal side, we are in constant contact
with the City of New York to make sure that our
municipal members receive the best contract
possible. We are exhausting all possible avenues,
including pursuing a Labor Law 220 determination
from the Comptroller’s office in order to obtain the
rates established in the private sector for equal
titles represented by the Local — Senior Stationary
Engineer, Stationary Engineer, and Oiler. I will
not rest until our City members receive what they
justly deserve. Local 30 provides this City with the
most highly skilled engineers in the field and we
will not settle for second-class compensation.
This past fall we offered a Shop Steward Training
Seminar, which has received very positive feedback
from the members who attended. Our Shop
Stewards are the backbone and conduit between
Local 30 and our management partners. Our
Stewards are the first line of representation in this
Union and give our agents the ability to sit at the
table and negotiate fair and equitable contracts.
We depend on the hard work from our Stewards,
and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts
on a daily basis.
I look forward to the many new opportunities,
challenges, and successes that 2015 will bring.
Local 30 is destined for great things in the future
due to the hard work and dedication of all our
members.
I personally want to thank each and every member
for their ongoing and continued support.
SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Continued from page 1
The crew at Sarah
Lawrence has
been struggling
for a real voice on
campus. One of
the workers tells a
story about taking
his concerns
directly to the
administration,
expecting that he
would be taken
seriously. When
he finally met
with a top level
administrator,
he was told that
he wasn’t being
forced to work
there, and if he
wasn’t happy, he
was free to find
another job.
The crew at Sarah Lawrence has been struggling
for a real voice on campus. One of the workers tells
a story about taking his concerns directly to the
administration, expecting that he would be taken
seriously. When he finally met with a top level
administrator, he was told that he wasn’t being
forced to work there, and if he wasn’t happy, he was
free to find another job. The crew grew tired of those
responses and asking to be heard, so they started to
organize with Local 30 to demand a voice.
In early October, the majority of workers had declared
that they wanted to join the Union. Sarah Lawrence
had a clear decision to make: respect the workers’
choice to join the Union by agreeing to a simple and
fair process of counting cards, known as card check,
or fight them. Within two hours, the administration
made its choice when they called the crew into a
captive audience meeting where they were told,
among other things, that if the college was forced to
raise wages, there could be layoffs in the department.
The administration also hired Bond, Schoeneck and
King, a law firm with a long reputation of fighting
workers and their unions. The firm has been in the
dirty business of busting unions since the 1930s.
Local 30 representatives reached out to Priscilla
Murolo, a professor at Sarah Lawrence College and
the author of “From the Folks Who Brought You the
Weekend: A Short, Illustrated History of Labor in the
United States.” Professor Murolo is a well-known
academic, author, and a tenacious advocate for
workers and their unions. Working together, Local
30 representatives and Professor Murolo organized
faculty leaders and student leaders to stand up to
the administration and demand that they stop their
anti-union campaign. Students, faculty, staff, and the
campus workers developed a network of support for
the union and established a slogan — “You are Not
Alone.”
The Student Senate and the Workers Justice group
on campus pressured the administration to stop their
tactics by circulating a petition that hundreds of
students signed in the first few weeks. Students also
demanded that high level administrators answer their
actions in front of the Student Senate. Many students
wore “You Are Not Alone” buttons and routinely
gave the facilities crew a thumbs up when they saw
them on campus. The campaign landed on the front
page of the college newspaper. Faculty members
who supported Local 30 scheduled a meeting with
the college president, where they demanded an
end to the attack on the workers. In a few short
weeks, pressure shifted and landed on top of the
administration. Facing a backlash and many voices
urging the administration to act responsibly, they
agreed to stop some of the intimidation tactics and
reign in the anti-union law firm.
In late November, the workers empowered by all of
the support on campus, walked into their shop and
voted. All but one of the workers voted to join the
International Union of Operating Engineers Local
30 to finally have a voice at work. Following the vote,
one of the student leaders who had worked so hard
to organize others and support Local 30,met with
the workers as they were celebrating their win. She
looked around, congratulated everyone, and said,
“You are not alone!”

Santa on
his way
Maintenance Department members at Mercy Hospital
built a motorized sled from scratch that was then used
for “Santa” to deliver candy canes to patients in the
hospital and to elderly nuns at the Convent.
“Members make deliveries every year in the weeks
leading up to the holiday,” said Field Representative
Robert Wilson. “This is a great way to give back to the
places where we work. The patients love when Santa
comes to visit, especially the young kids. Our members
really get into the giving spirit, and the acts of kindness
go a long way.”

UNIONISM RUNS STRONG IN HER FAMILY
When unionism runs in your family, it’s no shock when you become involved yourself. So was the direction for
Local 30 member Jennifer Puja, the Labor Council Director for the Westchester/Putnam Central Labor Body AFLCIO (WPCLB), who was one of 12 exceptional women honored in The Workforce Development Institute’s Working
Women’s Calendar for 2015.
Puja knows the value of the labor movement, coming from a staunch union family herself. In 2007, she became
involved with the WPCLB when studying for her undergraduate degree at Iona College. She worked part time
assisting with mobilization throughout the 2007 political season, and took an interest in the labor movement and
the effects it has on the more than 120,000 union families in both Westchester and Putnam counties who are
represented by the WPCLB.
After being hired fulltime in 2008, she became an active participant in many WPCLB committees. She is proud
to be a part of the Social Justice and Labor/Religion committees, and began the first Unionists of Tomorrow and Picnic committees. Puja is
proud to stand with her union brothers and sisters to support them on local labor issues they are presented with. She is a lifelong learner with
a background in humanistic communications, childhood education, and literacy. She enjoys furthering her education through labor-related
coursework.
Puja is making sure that her lifelong unionism is carried on to the next generation. She and her husband Joe, a CSEA Local 860 member, plan
to raise their young daughter Alessio Rayne to value the importance of labor and unionism and are certain she will grow to be a strong unionist
of tomorrow. Puja’s interests are not solely related to unions, however. She has a strong passion for writing and hopes to someday publish her
own children’s book.
“Jennifer’s involvement in the labor movement and her strong support of union causes, make us proud to say she is a Local 30 member,” said
Business Manager Bill Lynn. “She proves that getting involved and staying involved make a difference.”

About Our Members
Stewarding
the Union
More than 100 Shop Stewards came together
in October 2014 for the annual IUOE Local 30
Shop Steward seminar. The seminar focuses
on educating Stewards on the rights and
responsibilities of union members, benefits
available to members and their families, contract
negotiations, and organizing.
Shop Stewards play a critical role in our
Union. They are expected to lift our craft by
consistently reaching the highest standards of
professionalism at work and teaching others to
do the same. They are, however, also expected to
protect the principles of this Union, defend the
rights of their brothers and sisters, organize, and
lead the Union.
Consistently training Shop Stewards through
these types of seminars is a priority for Local
30. Business Manager and former Shop Steward
William Lynn said, “I know what it takes to meet
the demands of being a Shop Steward. We will
train and strengthen our Stewards in every way we can because they are the leaders we all depend on to help move this Union forward.”
Pictured above, Business Manager William Lynn addresses the crowd of Shop Stewards in attendance, some of whom are pictured at bottom.
LOCAL 30 TEAM HONORED
FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS
Local 30’s team working at DTZ was recently awarded the first Safety
Award from the property services company. The team was recognized
for being injury free and participating above and beyond the CORE
Safety requirements set forth by corporate for the year 2014.
“We are extremely proud of all of these members. They put their hearts
and souls into their work and it shows. Our members are the best in
the business and this award pays tribute to that determination,” said
Business Manager William Lynn.
The award emphasizes the professionalism and leadership that Local
30 produces, solidifying the New York portfolio as the top organization
for DTZ. “I couldn’t be prouder of my team,” said Domenic Fortino, DTZ
Engineering Manager.
Brendan McPartland, Local 30 Recording/Corresponding Secretary,
said, “It’s great to see Local 30 members being recognized for their
determination. It helps the Union with future contract negotiations
when we can point out the hard work our members put forth.”
HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
COLLECTS HUNDREDS
FOR KIDS WITH CANCER
Local 30 members once again made the Union’s annual toy drive for kids a huge success
by bringing in new toys and games to the December General Membership Meeting. Items
collected were then distributed to the Lexiebean Foundation.
The Lexiebean Foundation’s mission is to help ease the financial and emotional burdens that
childhood cancer places upon a family, while providing comfort to children as they cope with
the extended hospital stays often associated with their illnesses. The Lexiebean Foundation
supplies care packages to patients, parents, and their siblings while providing financial aid to families on a case-by-case basis.
When Joseph and LeaAnn Falabella lost their nine-year-old daughter Alexandra to pediatric cancer in 2009, the Plainview couple
searched for meaning amongst all the heartache. Though grieving their immense loss, they found a way to honor their daughter’s
memory and keep her spirit alive as an inspiration for others.
“Each year our collection grows thanks to the goodness of our membership,” said Business Manager William Lynn, pictured at left
with Joseph Falabella. “I know from the thank you letters we receive that the recipients of these gifts are extremely appreciative.”

NECO Thanks Local 30
for
Helping Save Ellis
From Superstorm
Stating that a group of heroes remains unrecognized, unsung
and unknown, the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations
(NECO) delivered a Thanksgiving proclamation to thank and
honor the men and women of International Union of Operating
Engineers Local 30 who helped save and restore Ellis Island
during Superstorm Sandy.
NECO Chairman Nasser J. Kazeminy stated, “It’s time we thanked
Local 30 for their extraordinary work during Superstorm Sandy.
Few know of the fact that a strong contingent from this union
volunteered to stay behind on Ellis Island when this lethal storm
descended on the New York metro area some two years ago. Few
know of their courageous stand against the sea as they sought to
preserve and protect this national landmark. And fewer still know
of their extraordinary work in restoring power, pumps and life to
this living icon of American democracy after Sandy departed. We
intend to rectify this gap in our collective appreciation of how our
region recovered from this devastating storm.”
In accepting the award, Local 30’s
“Were it not for the prompt and efficient response by Local 30 to the flooding that Business Manager William Lynn
overwhelmed the infrastructure on Ellis Island, the very stability of the Great Hall itself stated, “When members of our Local
made the decision to confront the
would have been placed in jeopardy. In a race against time and the elements, Local 30 storm by staying on Ellis Island,
deployed every resource to restore the island and prevent additional damage.” they did so not for the purpose
of securing this much-welcomed
commendation, but in recognition
that they had been entrusted with a space that has directly touched
the lives of millions of American families. In some instances, the
great grandfathers of those who sought to minimize damage on
the Island had walked this very space.”

Sandy
Presenting the proclamation of thanks on the eve of our
national holiday of Thanksgiving, Mr. Kazeminy noted, “Were it
not for the prompt and efficient response by Local 30 to the
flooding that overwhelmed the infrastructure on Ellis Island, the
very stability of the Great Hall itself would have been placed
in jeopardy. In a race against time and the elements, Local
30 deployed every resource to restore the island and prevent
additional damage.”
NECO was created on the conviction of its founders that the
diversity of the American people is what makes this nation
great. Established in 1986, NECO annually presents its Ellis
Island Medals of Honor that embody the spirit of America in
their celebration of patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood and
diversity.
NECO recognizes individuals who have made it their mission
to share with those less fortunate their wealth of knowledge,
indomitable courage, boundless compassion, unique talents
and selfless generosity; all while maintaining the traditions of
their ethnic heritage as they embody the American dream.
Both the United States Senate and House of Representatives
have officially passed resolutions recognizing the Ellis Island
Medals of Honor, which ranks among this country’s most
prestigious awards. Each year, Ellis Island Medal of Honor
recipients are listed in the Congressional Record, honoring
those who have made enduring contributions to our nation and
to the world.
Additionally, NECO continues its commitment to the restoration
and maintenance of Ellis Island, a living tribute to the courage
and hope of all immigrants. — New York, Nov. 26, 2014 (Globe

2014 hOLIDAY pARTies
for children & retirees
The 2014 Children’s and Retirees’ Christmas parties in December brought together families from a wide range of locations where Local
30 members work. Games, face painting, plenty of food, and of course a special visit from Santa kept everyone of all ages entertained
throughout the day.
“Each year the parties get better and more members attend. It’s a great way to start the holiday season,” said Business Manager William
Lynn. “We’d like to give a special ‘thank you’ to Santa for stopping by our party and bringing smiles to the kids, and even the adults, who
hopped onto his lap and told him about their holiday wish lists.”
Lynn said the parties are a chance for Local 30 to bring everyone together in a more relaxed atmosphere and enjoy some time with current and former co-workers, do some catching up, and just enjoying each other as friends. “I’d like to thank all those who volunteered
their time to make sure these events were a huge success,” Lynn said.

MUNICIPAL CORNER
CONTRACT BARGAINING
UNION MEETING WITH CITY REPS
Business Manager William Lynn, Business Agent Robert Moccio, and
Field Representative Hiram Santiago along with counsel have met
several times with municipal Shop Stewards to hear the contract
concerns of our members. So far, the negotiating team has met on two
occasions with City officials in an attempt to negotiate a new contract
for Local 30’s municipal membership.
To date, the City has proposed the pattern that has been accepted
by more than 73 percent of the municipal workforce, according to
Robert Burzichelli, Esq., Local 30’s labor counsel. He said the Union
is exploring the possibility of pursuing a Labor Law 220 determination
from the Comptroller’s office in order to obtain the rates established in
the private sector for equal titles represented by the Local — Stationary
Engineer, Senior Stationary Engineer, and Oiler.
“We are now waiting for the City to provide us with an offer regarding a
Labor Law 220 rate and benefit package,” Lynn said. “They would offer
what they think we would make on the outside and we are expecting
to have that offer within the next several weeks.”
The Union also is negotiating with the City a possible new methodology
related to Senior Stationary Engineer facility differential. This
methodology has not been updated since it was established in the
1950s by the Board of Estimate, which was later found unconstitutional,
according to Burzichelli. He said the outside rate may be higher, so
Local 30 is looking at both means of determining salary.
“We are waiting for the City’s 220 labor costing so the Local 30
Negotiating Committee can make a reasonable decision as to
which course to pursue — the Comptroller’s determination to set the
prevailing wage rate and benefits, or a collectively bargained contract,”
Burzichelli said. “Once we get the numbers, we would decide which
deal would be the most beneficial for our municipal members.”
Governor Cuomo’s State of the State Address
On a different note, Governor Cuomo’s 2015 State of the State address,
delivered January 21, mentioned little about the labor movement, other
than the so-called education reforms that include direct attacks on
basic worker protections. The New York State AFL-CIO summed
it up best: “The proposal to tear up teacher collective bargaining
agreements in failing public schools is a slap at the entire Labor
Movement, and ignores the plethora of socio-economic and other
factors that impact educational performance.”
The entire labor movement will be watching to see what happens in
Albany this year as the legislative session unfolds.
NEW HEADQUARTERS
LOCAL 30 GETTING READY TO MOVE
Local 30 is well underway with plans to relocate into its new
headquarters building at 16-16 Whitestone Expressway in the
heart of Queens. This new office complex is a highly visible office
property in a dynamic location with green building aspects, solar
power, energy efficient, Aegis Energy Services co-generation
system, and exceptional work environment.
“We are extremely excited about our 100 percent union-built
project that has contributed a significant number of jobs to the
community and will serve as our home for many years to come,”
said Business Manager William Lynn.
The 60,000-square-foot, six-story, glass-clad office property
currently offers 30,000 square feet of prime office space available
for immediate release with spring 2015 occupancy. Potential tenants can take advantage of separate utilities, expected 40 percent energy
savings, abundant on-site parking, and a number of New York City municipal benefits.
