BUSINESS
MANAGER’S
REPORT
By Virgil Hamilton, Business Manager
Brothers and Sisters,
We have recently finished negotiations for several construction
contracts. Negotiations are always a
challenge of timing and strategy, so we
will explain a little about how it all happened. There are some members who
were very disappointed that we did not go out on strike.
There are also some members who feel we settled for less
money than we should have. This explanation should help
everyone understand what happened, and why.
History; back in the 70s we were oblivious to the notion that we would ever lose the great Market Share we
enjoyed for many decades. Unfortunately we trained a
non-union workforce that was about to take that Market
Share away from us. During that time, we took huge wage
increases in many areas of the country. In some areas we
priced ourselves out of market sectors, but did not worry
about losing residential and light commercial because we
were fully employed with heavy commercial and industrial. Eventually, those wage increases opened a breeding
ground to the competition we trained.
Fast forward to today; our International Office is
obviously aware of our past mistakes, and therefore is
very cautious to grant strike authorization. I believe the
IO is worried that some Locals will use work stoppages
to achieve wage increases that price themselves out of the
small work sectors. Some people would say that we are
already out-priced in Local 46 because we must reduce the
current wage package and use Market Recovery subsidies
to get jobs in the small work sectors. We believe that we
are not out-priced, but simply dealing with economic
recession. We believe this because when the economy
improves, our contractors can get this work without help.
Our challenge at that time is whether or not they bid the
work, because more profitable work is available.
Because Locals can give up Market Share through
negotiations, as we did back in the 70s, the IO has been
asking Locals that have been unable to reach an agreement
to submit to binding arbitration with the Council for Industrial Relations. The CIR then decides what is fair, and
both sides must live with that decision. Many of our sister
Page 2 • SPARKS • vol 26, iss 2 • Summer 2012
locals in Washington State have participated in
CIR arbitration.
We did not want arbitration to settle our
Agreements because we had a strategy for future increases that probably would not survive
the CIR process. We asked the IO for strike
authorization for the Inside Construction
Agreement, explaining our reasons. They gave
us authorization, but made it very clear that
it would be pulled if we used it for any other
purpose than to get a fair Agreement. If we
had asked for increases that were much higher
than the average increase for the area, then
authorization would have been pulled. If we
were unreasonable in our negotiating sessions,
appearing that our goal was to strike, and not
reach an agreement, then authorization would
have been pulled.
The challenge we faced was to not propose a wage increase that was too high and
have the IO decline strike authorization. Yet
we needed a wage proposal that was high
enough we would end up with a fair contract.
When negotiations start coming down to the
last couple weeks before a work stoppage,
the IO offers to help. In this instance, our IO
Service Representative Mike Grunwald and
NECA Service Representative Terry Hatch,
Sr., offered a mediation style of negotiating.
As we negotiated proposals back and forth,
the service reps try to move the parties towards the middle. That’s why it’s important to
start with a wage proposal that is high enough
so we still have a reasonable increase after the
“moving towards the middle” is over. If at any
time Mike Grunwald had told Vice President
Mowery that we were not truly working towards an agreement, then strike authorization
would have been pulled. Losing authorization
would have left us without leverage to continue negotiating.
We know that some members thought we
should have gone on strike, no-matter what.
If that had been our goal, the IO would have
shut us down. Some members thought we
should strike every job at the end of the 10day waiting period. To keep IO authorization
we needed to increase pressure incrementally.
The IO was willing to stand by us to get an
agreement, but would not let us start a 'war'
with the contractors beyond what was needed
to get an agreement.
We ended negotiations with a fair contract
for our current economic conditions. We accomplished that goal because the members of
the Wire Unit were primed and ready to do
what was necessary, if needed. The IO stood
with us, even though they are generally pushing for CIR. We need to be thankful of the
IO taking the time to understand our goals
for these negotiations, and allowing us the
latitude to get there. Mike Grunwald was very
instrumental in helping our Vice President
and President understand what we were trying
to do. We owe Mike a debt of gratitude.
Some people have asked why I would sign
Agreements when the ratification vote was
a tie, or had no voters. This obviously is not
an approval of the proposal, so why would
I sign the Agreement? Voting carries different characteristics for the type of vote. For
an election or change in the Bylaws, one vote
carries the difference. Contract ratification
votes are slightly different. When we present
proposals to the membership, that we have
tentatively agreed to at negotiations, we need
the members to adamantly say no before we
can go back to the bargaining table and ask
for something better. For instance: if there are
100 members in a unit, and 4 people show up
to vote, and the count is 2-no and 2-yes, the
National Labor Relations Board and our IO
view these results as 2% of the membership
said no. Therefore the results look as if 98%
are in acceptance of the proposal, or they
would have shown up and voted no. To resume negotiations and ask for something better could invite a viable Unfair Labor Practice
(ULP) charge for bad faith bargaining. The IO
would obviously shut us down at that point.
We know that we will never have 100% of any
unit show up and vote, but the percentages
need to be significant to justify more negotiations. Sometimes we do not tentatively agree
to management’s proposal, but agree to let
the membership vote on the proposal. That
is when it is absolutely imperative that the
members show up in mass to vote, because a
low turn-out, even if the proposal fails, can
be a sign of acceptance. Ratification votes are
often part of the strategy for negotiations and we need to
pay close attention to what our negotiating committees are
telling us.
Enclosed in this issue are the budgets approved by the
membership at the March General Meeting. These budgets
need a little explaining. The General Fund budget is your
typical "Balanced" type budget where we make sure that
our expenses are less than our income. This ensures that
we can enter each year with our ability to keep functioning
and meeting our goals. Some businesses need to project
multi-year budgets for various reasons, but labor unions
only need single year budgets for the most part. The
exceptions we need to consider are the large expenditures
of the next convention and our 100 Year Anniversary. We
do that by putting expenditures in the budget each year
that we do not actually spend. By budgeting future large
expenses over several years, it will make the bottom line
look better at the end of the year. We need to remember
that we are using the budget as a savings account for these
large items. Ultimately, we need to keep a minimum of six
(6) months reserves in the bank. Local 46 has not had that
luxury in several years. We have experienced such great
downturns in the Construction market that we have been
unable to maintain those reserves. We have laid off several
staff members over the last few years, and the rest of us
are on part time pay so we don’t have to lay off more.
The Organizing Budget is a completely different
design. That fund is designed for surplus building during
the good times, and deficit spending during the slow times.
The Organizing Fund is used to gain work during the slow
times, and increase market share all the time. With this
fund we have a goal of not letting the fund get below $1.5
Million during the good times, and not below $200,000
during the worst times. Hopefully we will have another
boom where we have thousands of travelers working in
our jurisdiction and we can greatly exceed our normal ceiling. We always have things to accomplish with Organizing
Fund money, but next time we have an extraordinarily high
amount of work we need to start the conversation about
investing. We have some reserves invested and they earn
enough to cover inflation. We could build those investments to the point that we no longer need to pay working
dues.
The Benevolence Fund balance is starting to come
down, which is a good thing. For quite some time we had
people who were in financial struggles but would not ask
for money. It's hard to justify the dues collection if the
fund balance is well over $100,000. People are now using
the money for what it was designed for. When the work
comes back we should have a conversation about making
Summer 2012 • vol 26, iss 2 • SPARKS • Page 3
an investment with this Fund so that when we discontinue
the $5 per month assessment, the fund will continue to
grow and be available in hard times.
The Building Fund balance is running lower than it
should, and hopefully the work will pick up so we can
charge the General Fund more rent each month and build
the surplus.
The Sick & Distress and Jury Duty funds are simply
cash in and cash out. We present them with the other
budgets so you can see how much money passes through
each year. Our recent Bylaws change guarantees a budget
review for all funds at each March General Meeting. Hope
to see you there.
Also included in this issue is the new Dues Policy. This
policy goes beyond the Bylaws, and makes allowances for
members working for employers who are delinquent submitting benefit payments. This policy has been adopted by
the Executive Board. We attempted to adopt this policy at
the July General Meeting, but inadvertently approved only
the first two sections. We will review, adopt or amend the
third section at the next General Meeting.
Important Information
For Those Working Out
Of Jurisdiction
ERTS – How to Transfer Your Benefits!
What is ERTS?
ERTS is an acronym for Electronic Reciprocal Transfer System. What ERTS means to you is that your benefits
– pension, annuity and health return to your designated
Home Fund. In the “old days’ each time you worked in
another jurisdiction you would need to complete paperwork for the transfer of your benefits. Now with ERTS –
you register one time and a protection is in place to make
sure your benefits go where you want them to (your Home
Fund) when you work out of jurisdiction.
With a jurisdiction like Local 46’s where you can
work on one side of the street and be in Local 46, and on
another be in Local 191 or Local 76 – this is an important
protection for you.
If you haven’t registered on ERTS – do so immediately. Registration on ERTS does not transfer benefits
earned before you register, however, IBEW 46 has signed
a special agreement with Locals 76 and 191 to allow for
retroactive transfers. Contact the Local 46-business office
if this applies to you. While this retroactive
transfer agreement has helped many members,
there are occasions when Local 76’s plan will
not transfer benefits because health coverage
has started in their plan.
Registering on ERTS is not a replacement
for checking in with the Local whose jurisdiction you are working in – so please check in.
If you are registered on ERTS and working in either Local 76 or 191’s jurisdiction and
your benefits have not been transferred – here
are the phone numbers for the Trust Offices.
Contact them directly to get your benefits
transferred.

Policy Bills were SB 6133 and SB 6287.
The goal of SB 6133, sponsored by Sena- Governor, it will result in approximately 18,000 constructor Steve Conway, was to encourage apprenticeship and provide
organizing opportunities by
requiring trainees to show they’ve
taken basic electrical theory classes
prior to taking their Journeyman’s
exam. The drama came when the
Bill squeaked though the Senate by
just one vote. This shows the need
to get more labor friendly candidates elected to the State Senate. Despite opposition, the Bill
passed and was signed by Governor Gregoire on March 7th. The
law’s implementation date is July
1, 2013. I would like to express

Marine Unit
By Marine Representative Harry Thompson
the companies they work for or have seniority in the marine world. The Inside Wiremen
have a master agreement so all members
who work for the various companies vote on
the one contract. If the Marine industry had
a master agreement all electricians would
vote on that agreement.
Pacific Ship Repair has been winning
more Navy work since they are still considered a small business. They have gained
work at PSNS and Everett Naval Yard.
PacShip should see an increase in manning
as the work opens up. Vigor Industrial is of
a size they are no longer a small business.
Vigor Shipyard, under Vigor Industry, no
longer qualifies for small business set asides.
Vigor Marine has a couple big jobs at the
Harbor Island Facility that will employ a
high number of employees for two months.
The 144 Car Ferry project has started and
the electrical package went to a non union
shop Eltech. We will keep an eye on them to
see how they perform. Stay safe.
The work in the Marine industry
has been consistent for this time of
the year in that most of the yards have
maintained the workforce and the work
they have. Most of the smaller shipyards
have their repeat customer base who
return year after year. Some of the small
yards have increased their workforce due
to new work they have received.
Vigor Industrial is one of the growing marine repair
and new construction industries on the west coast.
Vigor Industrial has bought Marine Industry and Todd
Pacific Shipyard to go along with the other yards and
shops they own. Vigor Marine started as a small shop in
Everett that has continued to grow. Vigor Marine has a

In February we had a booth at 2012 Home
Show. This is our 4th year in Seattle representing RES. This year we decided to change
our space and get closer to the plumbers since
we did the merge. Not only was it a huge
success with foot traffic, a few of our RES
contractor volunteers received excellent jobs.
Some even topping at $13K!! We had great
customer feedback and got a lot of material
out. I was very happy with the volunteer turn
out also.
Thank you to Dennis and Sue Hunsaker
of Hecco Electric, Kevin Kiper from Artisan
Electric, Garth Margaro and his wife from
Ridgecreek Plumbing, Craig McKinnon from
Juanita Electric, Sue Lantzy from Sue’s Westside Electric, Holley Smith from AAAC Electric, and Monica Bergeson from Lady Electric.
A special Thank You to members Eric Vane
and Doug Johnson for taking time out of their
schedule to help man the booth. If you would
like to sign up to volunteer for 2013 Home
Show, send me an email or give me a call.
April brought us to the 2012 GoGreen
Conference in Seattle. This is a one day
event where we like to promote our RES/
RPS “green” systems. Artisan Electric is one
of our RES contractors in the solar industry.
There were some great breakout sessions highlighting electric cars for your business as well
as how to fund green programs. Thanks again
to member Eric Vane for volunteering his time
to help man the booth.
In June we tried a different approach with
the RES/RPS booth. We took it to the “What
If ?” expo at the Northgate Mall. This approach was more
on the safety of electricity. We handed out flyers on what
to do with your home electric in an emergency. Anywhere
from
installing
generators
for when
your lose
power to
how to
turn your
power
off in an
earthquake.
This was
new for us
considering we are
mostly looking for a customer base. We had a huge turnout
with it being placed in the mall on a Saturday morning. It
was very interesting to go into an expo with a different plan
in mind. Thank you Dennis and Sue Hunsaker, Hecco
Electric, for helping out with this expo.
The end of June brought us the Energy & Construction
Summit in Elma, WA. Educators from K-12 all the way
up to 4 year universities come to learn, share and educate
us on energy efficiency. Managers and directors of the
industry also were there to speak about the best practices
and emerging needs in the energy and construction work
force. We like RES/RPS to be there to represent all green
systems and the IBEW. This year we heard from former
Representative Jay Inslee and a representative for Attorney
General Rob McKenna on their views regarding energy and
construction issues in Washington State.
As we travel into our late summer months, it brings us
to flyer drops to promote the RES/RPS program. If you
want to get out of the house, have a little
exercise, and help us promote the RES/RPS
program, I encourage you to sign up with
me. We stuff bags with flyers and go out on
the streets of Seattle. We have a great time,
eat a great lunch and keep everybody moving. Please call me, Jessie Newland, 253-3956509 or email me at [email protected] if
you are interested in signing up or for more
information.
Here is hoping a successful rest of the
year and getting EVERYBODY back to
working!
SHOP STEWARD &
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARDS
IBEW Local 46 started an annual
award in 2010 recognizing outstanding
IBEW 46 Volunteers and Shop Stewards.
This year we recognized Steve Anderson as our Volunteer of the Year for
2011. As a retired member, Steve works
tirelessly organizing and supporting Habitat for Humanity in their various projects
on the Peninsula, all the while promoting
the IBEW!
Steve also supports the Residential
Electrical Services (RES) program by manning the booth at the various Home Shows
and other events. As a past President,
Steve is always available to swear in new
members at the Silverdale meetings.
Thanks Steve!
Two Shop Stewards were chosen for recognition this year.
Brent Otterson has served as Steward
on the Brightwater Treatment Plant project. This project has been a multi-year project with lots of electricians and other crafts on the job. Brent
did an amazing job helping to keep the project moving through the many twists and turns of the project!
Sheila Peach, the Steward for Tunnel Electric on the Sound Transit U220 link is serving on a high
profile job with a relatively new employer in our jurisdiction. This project had issues at the start and Peach
has helped to maintain good standards. She is doing an
excellent job as
a Steward and
deserves recognition!
Thank you
Stewards and
Volunteers!
Your hard work
and dedication is
appreciated.
The National Electrical Workers Minority
Caucus 22nd Annual Leadership Conference
EWMC: “Always Moving Forward Forever Lifting Up”
By IBEW Local 46/EWMC Member Anderson Jones Jr.
This year’s National E.W.M.C. conference
took place at the Oakland Marriott City Center
Hotel in Oakland California from January
12th to January 15th. The event was hosted
through a culmination of efforts by many of
the IBEW Locals in California: Locals 6 San
Francisco; 617 San Mateo; 302 Contra Costa
County; 551 Santa Rosa; 340, Northern California, Sacramento; and Local 595, representing Alameda, San Joaquin and Calaveras Counties. These Locals all combined to organize
this monumental event, which had the largest
turnout in the conference's grand history.
Arriving Wednesday evening for the event
we were greeted by IBEW members from all
over the United States and Canada. The first
order of business on the agenda, as always, at
the EWMC conference, was registering to take
part in one of the many Community Service
Projects which were implemented the following day, Thursday. Some of these projects included electrical work to be performed by our
generous, skilled professionals at sites in need.
The charity work that caucus members carried
out was not only limited to electrical though.
Six of us were able to work in a nearby community garden.
As a group we removed the last year’s
crops, turned the soil, and covered the entire patch with a barrier to prevent unwanted
weeds within the garden. The Parks and
Recreation crew members, who we worked
alongside, were grateful for the assistance and
we received many kudos from people in the
neighborhood as they passed by and inquired
who we were and what was going on. The
garden was then covered with new topsoil,
replanted and utilized by the people in the
neighborhood.
These works of charity are what these
communities will remember and are what the
EWMC/IBEW Brothers and Sisters will be
associated with in the minds of the people who live in
these neighborhoods. The “Day Of Giving” Community
Service Projects are a perennial experience linked with the
conference and I am so very proud to have been given the
opportunity to lend a hand and represent Local 46 in this
endeavor.
On Friday morning the conference began and there
was an opportunity for every delegate and guest to be
introduced to all and give some of their personal background. That afternoon had many great guest speakers
including Clayborne Carson, Professor of History and
Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research & Education Institute, at Stanford University. His topics included
his efforts in spreading the ideas of Martin Luther King,
Jr. throughout the world and bringing awareness and
honor to the man’s dream to other countries. Carson is
accomplishing this though a theatrical performance of Dr.
King's speeches and actions during his life. This play has
been translated into many foreign languages and performed by different actors from many countries.
Saturday’s agenda included many interesting workshops including Union Strategies and Building Strong
EWMC Chapters. One which I attended was entitled,
“Why Can’t They Be Like Us: Young Workers,” shed a
much needed light on the interactions between our valued,
seasoned workforce and the new apprentices on the job.
There was an in-depth discussion about what can be done
to bridge the generation gap and improve the teacherstudent relationship. Another very enlightening workshop
was, “Increasing Activism via Social Networking,” covered
organizing with today’s new Medias.
Concluding the evening’s events was a Leadership and
Legacy Retirement Celebration honoring Robbie J Sparks.
Robbie has headed the EWMC from the Caucus’ beginning in 1974 and has been a steadfast fixture responsible
for leading to its success. She was duly honored and she
has passed the torch on to her successor, Victor Uno,
who stepped up from Vice-President to President. The
ceremony was outstanding and so fitting for an incredible
person who has accomplished so much for so many.
I am proud to have had the opportunity to attend the
EWMC’s 22nd Annual Leadership Conference as a delSummer 2012 • vol 26, iss 2 • SPARKS • Page 21
egate and I would like to thank the progressive members
of Local 46 for choosing me to represent them. I look
forward to the future works of the Electrical Workers
Minority Caucus and the esteemed members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 46.
By EWMC/5th Year Inside Wire Apprentice Elton
D. Varner, Jr.,
Community Action Project Coordinator
This year's 22nd Annual EWMC Conference was
a very special one. We honored our Sister, Robbie J.
Sparks, President of the EWMC, with a retirement celebration. For 22 years her visionary leadership and bold
confidence has turned a loosely structured organization
into an organization that promotes equality, fosters leadership development, encourages greater activism in community and political affairs, and assists members in addressing discrimination or other complaints. Throughout her
career, Robbie has held many leadership positions such as
Business Manager/President of her own Local. Within
her reign of leadership, much progress has been made, but
there is still much to be done. She is an inspiration to me
and many other Brothers and Sisters, young and old. This year’s annual conference was held in sunny Oakland, California. The first day of the conference is kicked
off with the Community Service Projects. There were
over 20 different projects that took place all over the city.
That morning everyone gathered in the lobby ready for
work. We all grabbed breakfast and coffee and waited in
line, eager to find out where we would be assigned for the
Community Service. There were buses and a fleet of vans
to take everyone to the destinations.
I was assigned, with about a dozen other Brothers and
Sisters, to a community garden. It was overgrown with
weeds and needed fresh mulch and new planters built.
When we arrived, we were greeted with smiling faces and
much appreciation. We came up with a game plan and literally dug in! First, we pulled out all the weeds and picked
up all the trash. Next, we pulled out the old planters. A
few of the neighbors came out and harvested some of
the fresh vegetables they had growing. They, too, thanked
us for coming out, hugging and shaking everyone’s hands.
After all the weeds and trash were removed, we laid down
4x8 sheets of cardboard which was covered by mulch. The
cardboard was used to stop the weeds so there was no
need for chemicals. It was a little windy that morning, so
we couldn’t get too far ahead with the cardboard or else it
ended up on the fence!
It was a lot of hard work. Most of us rotated to give
those shoveling the mulch and pushing the wheel barrows
a time to catch their breath. We worked until we ran out of
mulch. Even though we didn’t finish the whole garden, the

majority of the work was done. They told us
all the work we did that day would have taken
them a month to do. To see all the smiles and
appreciation for our efforts is a feeling that
money can’t buy. Although exhausted from all
the work, it felt good!
Friday morning, after the conference
was called to order everyone stood and sang
“Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Afterwards we
were welcomed to the city of Oakland by the
Ninth District Vice President, Mike Mowrey.
Soon after Jean Quan, the Mayor of Oakland
addressed us. She was very appreciative of
the community action day of giving. She said
that she would match what we did every year.
There were many more speakers that day with
lots of key information from politicians and
their agendas, to triumphs and downfalls in
different Locals around the U.S. and Canada.
Saturday was filled with more valuable
information and guest speakers. Later, we had
workshops. I attended the “Global Economics
and U” and “Building Strong EWMC Chapters” Workshops. Steven C. Pitts spoke and
answered questions at the “Global Economics and U” workshop. The “Building Strong
EWMC Chapters” workshop was a group
participation workshop. We broke up into five
groups, each group answered questions to see
what ideas we came up with to take back to
our own Chapters. That evening was Robbie
Sparks Retirement Celebration, with a nice
dinner and dancing afterwards.
Sunday, the last day of the conference,
we came down in our yellow EWMC shirts.
We listened to the Young Workers' report
and each of the Chapter President's report.
Sister Sparks gave us her closing remarks. She
is looking to us, the youth in this caucus, to
take the reins, to keep fighting for equality and
workers rights because there is no time for
complacency.
Organizing Report
By Organizer Frank Elduen
In recent weeks we
have signed a number of
contractors and we are
working as an organizing
team to make sure that our
market share remains high and grows.
Teknon, a Sound and Communication
shop you may have worked with in the past
at Amazon or Microsoft, has signed with
Local 46. Teknon is expanding their operation to include an electrical division, Teknon
Electrical Services, and has signed the Wire
and Sound & Communication Agreements.
Part of their operation is still represented by
the Communication Workers of America,
but the electrical end of things is IBEW.
We want to thank the IBEW members
Annette Lake and Karl Hastings who went
to Teknon as Salts and did an outstanding
job representing our Union with their skill,
knowledge and dedication they made a difference in proving to Teknon that IBEW
Local 46 has something real to offer. This is
Rank and File organizing at its finest thank
you both!
The Local 46 Blitz is coming up, and for
members who haven’t had a chance to experience this part of organizing, now is your
chance. We will be going out for three days,
knocking on the doors of unrepresented
electricians to introduce ourselves and ask
if they have had a chance to see the DVD
that was mailed out to all the electricians in
our area. We are offering a $100 gift card
per day for hitting the doors and the experience is unique and inspiring. The dates are
September 24th, 25th and 26th.

Americans are
under attack!
abor rights are being attacked, women’s rights are

being foreclosed on, our jobs are disappearing, and
our wages are falling. We can’t afford to retire, and
don’t ever get sick.

F
or the past 40 years, a few of the richest of the 1%
have been stealing our wealth, and now they are
stealing our democracy. Last year’s Citizens United decision has given corporations the ability to spend unlimited, unregulated, unaccountable amounts of money to influence the political process. The stranglehold
the 1% has on our democracy is only increasing.
I
t is our choice, greater wealth for the few, or opportunity for the many; tax breaks for the richest, or a fair
shot for the rest of us; a government bought and paid
for by the highest bidders, or a democracy that is truly

Design & Install Seattle Center
By Representative Janet Lewis
IBEW 46 Sound and Video Technicians at the Seattle
Center recently designed and installed new HD video and
control equipment to stream live WNBA Storm games
from the Key Arena. This was a rush project to meet the
needs of Seattle’s
favorite professional basketball team.
IBEW Techs tore
out the old 1960's
NASA looking
control console
and recycled all of
the black and white
video monitors.
They shopped
around to find local video monitors
and state of the
art control equipment and installed
the new system
in record time. They
accomplished the first
live streaming of the
Storm game on time
and under budget.
Congratulations Rick

Broadcast Unit
By Representative Angela Marshall
KIRO-TV
I’m pleased to announce that, after
a long battle against crippling language
proposals from KIRO management,
the members of IBEW have ratified an
Agreement that preserves their recognition (aka jurisdiction), free speech rights, and bargaining rights.
Now, members have a stable agreement with guaranteed wage increases through 2016. They recognized the
importance of language worth fighting for, so much so
that they stood strong through the 2+ years we’ve negotiated, fought legal battles against inappropriate behavior by
management, and patiently saw the passage of time work
toward their benefit.
When we started the negotiating process, the economy
was in the dumps. Unions in many sectors, including
television, all over the country were taking wage freezes
just to fight off wage cuts. But things bounced back in the
television industry; TV stations have seen soaring profits,
and our units at KOMO, KING, and KCTS have successfully negotiated stable Agreements with built-in increases.
Some of management’s language demands would have
gutted jurisdiction, took away members' rights to concerted activity and free speech, and would have left the Union
with the inability to bargain over important terms in the
future. Also, KIRO originally demanded ambiguous language that could have gutted our members’ vacation, sick
leave, and holiday pay benefits. This language was based
on a presumption that someday, maybe, management
might possibly implement a new PTO (Paid Time Off)
policy. The terms of what that policy would be had been
shrouded in mystery. The rejection of KIRO’s proposals
long ago meant that we were able, 1.5 years later, to negotiate about all aspects of new said PTO policy after it was
actually rolled out to Company employees and implemented for the Station. This resulted in a preservation of our
right to bargain over any changes before they are made
and other important aspects of their leave benefits, including some banked sick leave that members have earned and
saved throughout the years.
I can’t say what exactly got management to back off
of many of their demands because I believe it was likely a
combination of things:
• IBEW filed for a Unit Clarification to represent Ignite
Directors (technicians who run the production of a
live news show through automated studio equipment).
The NLRB found that we should and do
represent those technicians, a decision
that the Company fought tooth and nail
to override. In addition to an appeal and
an outright denial to bargain with us, they
attempted to take away all Union benefits
and rights from existing members who
performed this work. All of these actions
led to multiple ULP’s filed against the
Employer. The NLRB found merit in all
of these charges and was, just up until the
date of ratification, planning to issue complaints and begin the process of litigation
against KIRO;
• KIRO also proposed that we loosen our
jurisdiction over editors early on in the
negotiating process. When our attempts to
compromise were not appealing to them,
they simply began replacing our editors
with non-union employees. This led to
multiple grievances which ultimately were
taken to Arbitration. The Arbitration was
decided in our favor which meant that if
management wanted any non-union employees to perform this work, they would
have to begin working with us, not against
us;
• KIRO leadership changed;
• They began eagerly wanting our members
to be covered under the Company’s leave
policies for administrative ease;
• And they likely had run up a hefty legal bill
after dealing with us for two years.
It could be that all these items and more
helped us to apply pressure to get that Agreement. But most of all, we couldn’t have done
it without clear communication from the
members, action, involvement, patience, solidarity, the support of our Business Manager
(Virgil Hamilton), the hard work from Charles
Carter (KIRO-IBEW Steward) and Carter
Bannerman (retiree and Bargaining Committee member), and a team of smart legal minds,
including Janet Lewis, David Hannah, Jacob
Black, and Terry Jensen.
Feels good to wrap this one up and see
labor peace at the Station. I truly believe the
fight was worth it. Thank you all for your support, assistance, and interest in our work over
the last two years.
Letters
From Member BoB Underwood
I'm just now starting to get excited about
the national election. I was one of those
disappointed liberals who Obama didn't solve
everything overnight for. After his campaign
I had expected more of an LBJ leadership
style; vote counting, arm twisting, cajoling,
deal making . . . but we seemed to get more
of a Neville Chamberlain . . . who, as Winston
Churchill said in his eulogy, was a good man
who was deceived and cheated by wicked men.
He approached governing with a bipartisan
spirit, and the Republicans ate his lunch.
But two events happened this last month
that have galvanized my support. The first was
an article by Van Jones about Wisconsin and
the Occupy movement. Jones pointed out that
the protests of the Iraq war were just as big as
those against Viet Nam, but didn't sway Bush
and Cheney from going in. We had the right
movement, but the wrong president. With
Obama, we had the right president, but the
Tea Party was the wrong movement.
There is an anecdotal story about Franklin
Roosevelt meeting with a group of reformers
who presented him with their agenda. FDR
told them, "I agree with you. I want to do it.
Now make me do it."
Van Jones concluded by saying, "You
remember how you felt after Wisconsin? Now
imagine how you will feel with Romney as
president, the Tea Party controlling Congress
. . . and they get to pick the next couple of
Supreme Court justices."
The final clincher was last month's Supreme Court decision on Health Care. John
Roberts may have had a pique of conscience
on this one, but imagine two more Scalia's or
Alito's on the bench.
I agree that this isn't health care, it's insurance reform. But it is a first step, and the
Republicans know it is a game changer. That's
why they will fight it tooth and nail to kill it.
I actually sent my first contribution to the
DNCC yesterday!
Bottom lines, hold your nose and vote
Democratic, and keep holding their feet to the
fire.
GPSEW
Update
Greater Puget Sound Electrical Workers is Local 46’s educational
outreach program to un-represented
electricians and trainees. GPSEW is
funded through Organizing, and with
the addition of the Associate Membership program, Local 46 continues to expand our contact with un-represented electricians and trainees.
It is important to keep in mind that we have a unique opportunity to introduce the IBEW and Local
46 to every un-represented electrician or trainee who attends one of our classes. This gives us a chance to
demonstrate the value and advantages of IBEW membership. We must also never lose sight that we are
better off with every electrician joining with us as IBEW members. Just think what Local 46’s Market Share
would be if we organized a greater number of the un-represented electricians out there!
Greater Puget Sound Electrical Workers also offers no-cost CEU classes to all IBEW members. This
gives our members a tremendous opportunity to get their required CEUs and the ability to increase their
knowledge and marketability by attending other educational opportunities. With so many brothers and
sisters on the out-of-work list, this is the best time to take come on down to the Hall and take classes. Just
go to the GPSEW.org website and check out the current schedule.
One trend we all need to be aware of is that many contractors are now requiring that all of their employees have OSHA safety classes. In response to this, we are offering both the OSHA 10 and the OSHA
30 class. We also offer a Master Electrician Exam Prep class and an Oregon Exam Prep class. We appear
to be the only Local Union in Washington State to offer an Oregon Exam Prep class since we have IBEW
members from as far away as Local 73 and 112 traveling to attend these classes.
Another advantage of providing electrical and safety education through Local 46 is our ability to select
what topics our members want. Our classes are determined without the necessity of getting management
approval. If there are any classes you would like to see offered, please contact Ebby Ghojiei, our Training
Director, and let him know what you would like to see.

In Honor of Women
By EWMC/IBEW MemberTraVaughn Cobbs
1st Year Inside Wireman Apprentice
Without women, there would be no life. There
would be no you, there would be no me, and
humanity as we know it, would be non-existent. Just think about it, every single person
walking the face of this earth was created,
formed, and nurtured within the womb of
a woman. Women are the reason most men
wear cologne, women are the reason most
men go to the barber shop, and some men
even spend many hours in the gym only to
go to the beach and remove their shirt for,
yes you guessed it, women! In addition,
most men would also agree that there is no
greater feeling than receiving the love, attention, and touch from a woman that they
love; but there was a time when woman
didn’t feel so appreciated.
It was the year of 1908, and great unrest
and critical debate was occurring amongst
women. Woman’s oppression and inequality
was spurring women to become more vocal
and active in campaigning for change. As
a result, sometime during that year, 15,000
women marched the streets of New York
City demanding shorter hours, better pay,
and voting rights; little did these women
know that it was during this moment, an
international holiday for women would
be birthed. International Woman’s Day,
which is celebrated on March 8th, is an
official holiday in 27 countries on the
continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. It
is also recognized in many others places
around the world as a day which honors
women, and so in celebrating such a special day, I was given the privilege of picking one influential woman to spotlight who
I believe played a critical role in history not
only for women, but the world as well.
Her name is Margaret Knight, and
although you may not see her name on
a list of the top 50 most inspirational
women, on the cover of TIME Magazine,
or anywhere else where someone of importance is recognized, Margaret Knight’s
intelligence and integrity made life for the
average person cheaper, and more convenient, even to this day. It was because
of Margaret Knight that made it possible
for kids, whose mother or father couldn’t
afford to buy them a shiny red lunch
box, to still be able to bring a lunch to
school. It was because of Margaret
Knight that made it possible for people
to have a choice of paper or plastic at
the grocery store; and it was because of
Margaret Knight that made it possible
for an electrical contractor to receive
the two ‘one-inch’ couplings he ordered.
Yes, that’s right! I’m talking about the
good ol’ fashion “Paper Bag”. Lunches
are carried in paper bags, groceries are
carried in paper bags, and when I go
to pick up material from our supplier,
various sorts of fittings, hardware, and
other material are sometimes packaged in
brown paper bags. But Margaret didn’t
invent paper bags, SHE INVENTED
THE ENTIRE MACHINE!
Born in Maine in 1838, it was said
that Margaret, “showed a proclivity toward inventing from a very young age.”
After the Civil War, Margaret Knight
went to work in a Massachusetts paper
bag plant. While working in the plant,
Knight thought how much easier it
would be to pack items in paper bags if
the bottoms were flat (which they weren’t
at the time). That idea inspired Margaret to create the machine that would
transform her into a famous
woman inventor. Knight’s
machine automatically folded
and glued paper-bag bottoms,
thus creating flat-bottom
paper bags that are still being
used to this day. Margaret
also received her patent for
the invention in 1871.
Therefore, with all that
said, let us take this moment
to recognize, honor, and
celebrate not only the women
who paved the way like Margaret Knight, but all the
beautiful women in the world and in our lives today.
So to the all the strong, independent, hard working women, including my fellow Electricians, Happy
Women’s Day!

(Reprinted from the Jan. 14, 07 issue of Parade Magazine)
Lung cancer is one of the
most deadly malignancies killing 1 million people worldwide
each year.
Heavy smokers, current
and former, are vulnerable,
as is anyone who has been
chronically exposed to secondhand smoke, asbestos, uranium or radon. Lung cancer can
be cured only if it is removed
surgically in its earliest stages.
By the time it shows up on a
regular chest X-ray, it's usually
too late.
But now, tiny curable lung
cancers can be detected in vulnerable individuals by a spiral
CT scan of the lungs. I have
several patients continue to be
cancer-free years after their
tumor was detected by such a
scan.
In a recent study, CT scans
of 32,000 men and women
at high risk for lung cancer
detected 484 cancers; 85%
of them were at a very early
stage. When such tumors are
removed in time, the estimated
survival rate for these patients
is 92% for a 10-year period.
By comparison, 95% of those
whose lung cancers are diagnosed only after symptoms
develop die within five years.
Anyone at risk for lung cancer
should have a spiral CT scan
of the lungs every year.
