A Number of Priorities
I
every one of you. Know a young man or
woman who you believe has what it takes
to be a good ironworker? Send them our
way. Know a journeyman who has left the
trade? Let them know that work is available. Know an unorganized ironworker
or craftsman? Send them our way. Does
your community have returning veterans? We have a future for them. Do you
have apprentices or probationary ironworkers in your gang? Instill your pride
and safe working skills in them. Working with organized journeymen? Show
them the brotherhood that makes us all
strong. Your future is tied to them. Larger
market share means more bargaining
WALTER WISE
General President
As we closeout 2014, let’s focus on
our priorities and continue to grow a safe,
skilled and proactive union workforce.
strength and more jobs for everyone. In
1980, we had 7.5 active journeymen for
each retiree. Today it is 2.85 active journeymen for each retiree. Your retirement
security depends on growth.
We offer our sincere thanks to all veterans for their heroic service to our nations.
Whether you are celebrating Veterans Day
in the United States or Remembrance Day
in Canada, it is a day that we reflect on
those who served and our debt to them.
That debt is reflected in our support of our
troops and to Helmets to Hardhats upon
their return. Thank you for your service
and welcome home.
I wish you and your families a joyous
Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you for helping to build our great union.
NOVEMBER 2014
t has been three months since General
Secretary Eric Dean, Executive Director of Safety Steve Rank and I delivered
an emergency webcast to all local unions
and contractors regarding the loss of eight
brother ironworkers during the first seven
months of this year. (Available on both the
Iron Worker and IMPACT websites). To
date, even with more man-hours worked,
we have not suffered another tragic loss.
Thank you for your increased vigilance
and commitment to safety, but we need to
re-double those efforts if we are to finish
the year strong with a string of zeros.
As this issue goes to press, we are in the
closing days of the 2014 elections when
it comes down to Get-Out-The-Vote. I
wish to thank all of our members across
North America who went to the polls and
instilled the precious right of democracy
in their family and friends to let their
voice be heard in the halls of government.
Given the possibility of a new U.S. Congress, we will have to continue our fight to
protect and secure the middle class’ right
to fair wages, a voice in the workplace and
a future for your families.
The value that you bring to the projects we build speaks for itself. Your skills,
training and work ethic provide our signatory contractors the ability to deliver
projects on time and within budget. It
builds the foundation for our growth
but only if we embrace the vision of a
larger, stronger union. The opportunities abound as we rebuild our nations
and will outstrip our existing membership if we do not expand apprenticeship
programs and organize the unorganized
and their contractors. IMPACT and our
business development initiatives are
opening doors that have been closed for
decades, but it is up to us to deliver the
workforce needed, a union workforce.
There is a role in our future for each and

Iron Workers International Union and the AFL-CIO
PROUD FOUNDERS OF THE
Union Veterans Council
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Our union proudly and actively supports our brothers and sisters who have
served in our nation’s military. The International Association of Iron Workers along
with other AFL-CIO affiliates formed the Union Veterans Council (UVC) in order to
better advocate on behalf of our veteran members and their families. Through direct
and productive communication, your union works to hold public officials and government leaders accountable to the needs of military veterans. The UVC strives to
bring union members, union leaders and government officials together to create and
influence public policies that will improve the quality of life for all military veterans
and their families.
If you are an ironworker and a military veteran, please consider joining the Union
Veterans Council. The UVC registration form can be found on the Iron Workers
website, www.ironworkers.org. If you have further questions, concerns, or suggestions please contact Dave Kolbe, our political and legislative director and a Vietnam
veteran, via phone at (202) 383-4805 or via email at [email protected].
As ironworkers, let’s do our part to thank our honored veterans with the dignity and
respect they have earned. Thank you for your support of this noble and just cause.
Sincerely,
Walter W. Wise
General President

HELMETS TO HARDHATS:
STRENGTHENING
OUR UNION
12
L
ike many veterans of the Armed Forces,
Maxwell Svader enlisted in the Army in
2010 to help provide a better life for his wife
Mariana and their two children. Max served
proudly in the United States Army. His experience there
taught him how to stay focused, dedicated to the task
at hand, adapt to changes, and overcome obstacles. All
positive attributes that will help him throughout his life.
past 10 years, Helmets to Hardhats
has helped over 10,000 veterans
make the transition to a career in
the construction industry. Each
year the U.S. military discharges
between 150,000 and 250,000 service members. These numbers are
expected to stay high in the coming years as our military forces
downsize. This will provide a
great opportunity for all of our
local unions to reach out and hire
qualified young men and women
being discharged from the military
directly into your local union.
As a United States Marine
Corps veteran and a Local 416
business agent, Rich Byrd sees the
value in helping returning veterans. “Not only do they make great
apprentices, they strengthen the
entire local.” Many returning veterans in the Los Angeles area are
participating in Local 416 Gladi-
Ironworkers have always answered the call of
helping military veterans. Whether it is offering
quality training and an opportunity to a great
career or helping to fund Helmets to Hardhats.

NOVEMBER 2014
After his discharge Max was
having a difficult time transitioning
from his life as a solider to that of a
civilian. “Once I arrived home, the
transition wasn’t the easiest while
living with seven people in a two
bedroom apartment.” Max told us
that, “It took time to find employment until coming across Helmets
to Hardhats.” The Helmets to Hardhats program helped ease Max’s
transition from being a United
States Army veteran to becoming
an ironworker apprentice.
Now a proud member of Iron
Workers Local 416 in Los Angeles,
he is currently working for CMC
Rebar. His new career allows him
the ability to work one job and take
care of his family as his wife currently attends school. His career in
the Iron Worker’s Union is off to a
great start. In June of this year, Max
was one of the top place finishers in
the State of California and Vicinity District Council apprenticeship
competition, which was held in Oakland, California. He represented his
local union and district council at
the National Apprenticeship Competition, held in Toronto, Canada on
September 27 and 28.
Helmets to Hardhats is a Building and Construction Trades
program that helps military veterans, National Guard, and reservists
like Max get started in a career in
the construction industry. In the
ator training. This is a hands-on
boot camp introducing them to
work as an ironworker. “Veterans
are the answer to a skilled workforce shortage that could threaten
the maintenance and building
of our nation’s infrastructure.”
While enrolled as an apprentice,
veterans are able to utilize the Post
9/11 GI Bill that provides educational benefit payments for on the
job training/apprenticeship. These
monthly checks help provide extra
income to veterans while learning
the ironworker’s trade.
Ironworkers have always answered the call of helping military
veterans. Whether it is offering
quality training and an opportunity
to a great career or helping to fund
Helmets to Hardhats. Recently, First
General Vice President and Tennessee Valley District Council President
Richard Ward negotiated 2 cents per
hour in their district council collective bargaining agreement. Each
local union in his district council will now contribute $.02 per
man-hour directly to Helmets to
Hardhats in Washington, D.C.
Locals that post career opportunities on the Helmets to Hardhats
website are seeing an increase in
veterans applying to their apprenticeship programs. To improve
outreach to our returning veterans, locals can create a profile on
the Helmets to Hardhats website.
This allows the local to post career
opportunities and also allows
them to search for veterans within
their jurisdiction.

Thoughts
from a Member
a thank you to my uncle,
Thomas Earl Williams
July 29, 2014
My uncle Thomas Earl “Slick” Williams was born in West
Tennessee on July 30, 1922. He was raised on a farm and spent
long days in the fields. Times were tough growing up during
the Depression, but family was everything and nobody really
knew what the word “poor” meant. When he turned 18, he
joined the regular army in 1940. He worked hard and at a
young age showed leadership qualities. He became a platoon
sergeant and was over 75 men at the ripe age of 22.
He landed at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944 and built the first of
many landing strips for the P47s and P51s across France and
Germany. Enclosed is a picture in 1944 of my uncle overseeing the construction of the first landing strip in France after
landing on Utah beach. This year, he returned to the beaches
of Normandy 70 years later and actually visited the fields
where he built the first landing strip.
I am thankful that he is still here and I had a privilege of
working under him as an apprentice. He was hard on me as
a nephew, but he made me a better man and ironworker. He
still attends our picnics and retirees’ luncheons. I am grateful
for his service to our country and especially his loyal membership of 62 years to Iron Workers Local 167.
Respectfully Submitted,
Michael E. Scoggins
Business Manager

local universities, is called in to review the applications
and select recipients. The John H. Lyons Sr. Scholarship
Foundation is fortunate to have committed, knowledgeable and experienced individuals who serve in this
capacity. Vicki Baker (George Washington University)
has served on this committee since 1979; Robert Talbot
(Catholic University) has served since 1982; and, David
Webster (Dickinson College) has served since 2008.
Cheri Rice-May, general secretary’s office, and Terry
Suite, general treasurer’s office, have worked with the
committee for numerous years, preparing application
packets and ensuring payment to the recipients.
As we celebrate our 45th anniversary, we felt it
was a good time to check in with some past recipients to see where they are now. After reading their
stories, it is clear the John H. Lyons Sr. Scholarship
Foundation has done an outstanding job of selecting
highly qualified individuals.
While each of these recipients has followed their
own path, they all agree on one thing, generous support of the John H. Lyons Sr. Scholarship greatly
aided in the pursuit of their educational dream.
NOVEMBER 2014
he John H. Lyons Sr. Scholarship program
was started in 1968 to provide educational funding to sons and daughters of
Iron Worker members. Since that time, the
scholarship program has provided over $2 million in
scholarships and other awards, helping the children of
our members attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
What began as a small program, providing a $1,000
scholarship to one male and one female recipient, has
grown through the years as the need for college education has increased, along with the high cost of tuition to
achieve that education. Based on funding available, we
are proud to provide up to 18 scholarships (6 – $5,000;
6 – $2,500; 6 – $1,500), which are valid for four years,
provided the recipient continues to meet academic and
other eligibility criteria. For the past several years, funding has also provided the ability to grant a number of
one-time $500 awards to deserving candidates.
We are proud to announce that, beginning this
year, all applications will be filed electronically.
Information regarding scholarship rules, eligibility,
selection criteria, etc., can be located on our website
at www.ironworkers.org. Click on the banner titled
“JHL Scholarship” and review all application criteria,
making sure to note that a portion must be completed and submitted by the principal or academic
advisor of the student’s school. Once all necessary
materials have been received, student packets will be
compiled and prepared for the judges. If there are
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
scholarship office at [email protected] or by
phone at (800) 368-0105, Ext. 899.
Our members often question how the recipients are
selected. Each year, a committee of judges, made up of

IRONWORKERS POLITICAL ACTION LEAGUE
Dave Kolbe
The Need for Political Action Never Stops
B
y the time you read this,
the United States midterm elections of 2014 will
have already passed. This magazine went to press before the
results came in, so we can’t bask in the glow of victory
or pout in the gloom of defeat. What we can do is
congratulate the many ironworkers who contributed
their time and money to races that mattered to their
union brothers and sisters. Thanks also to the ironworkers who took to the polls on Election Day with
their families. When we all put in this kind of effort,
we can have a real impact on the result.
What’s next? Most people tune out of politics
after an election is over, but that is a mistake. The
next elections are just around the corner. Canadian
federal elections will take place next year, along with
an assortment of state and local races in the United
States. These elections will affect the jobs and lives of
ironworkers, so it’s important to pay attention.
More importantly, and more urgently, we need
to engage with the legislative process. After all,
what’s the point of engaging in politics in the first
place if we can’t get beneficial legislation out of the
deal? We’ve put together a guide of legislative priorities in the United States that the Ironworkers
Political Action League (IPAL) will tackle in the
coming year.
Infrastructure
We’ve said this before: our nation’s
bridges are aging at an alarming rate while skilled ironworkers
are looking for work. The problem is funding. Infrastructure is
funded through the gas tax, which hasn’t changed since the
Clinton administration. Inflation and improved gas mileage
has eaten away at tax revenues in that time. We’ll work with
labor and business to find an effective way to guarantee
sufficient funding for our roads and bridges, and protect the
prevailing wage and project labor agreements that help union
contractors win contracts.
Immigration Our current immigration system
is broken. Unscrupulous employers exploit undocumented
workers to build on the cheap, forcing down wages for
20
everyone. We support the building trades efforts to have
secure borders, punish exploitive employers, and eliminate
unneeded guest worker programs while protecting the basic
rights of all workers to organize.
Retirement Retirees have had to deal with threats
of Social Security cuts every time the federal budget comes
up for negotiation. This is no way to guarantee retirement
security. Simple adjustments to Social Security funding,
such as removing the payroll tax cap for millionaires and
billionaires, would keep the system solvent without cuts until
after our grandchildren retire. Likewise, pension regulation
needs to be updated to strengthen our defined benefit plans
in the modern economy.
Training Elected officials are becoming more
aware of a looming skills gap as many skilled tradesmen
and tradeswomen near retirement. A new government focus
on education and training is coming, and IPAL will work
along with the rest of the building trades to make sure that
our apprenticeship programs are a central part of it. We will
arrange tours and demonstrations of our apprenticeship
facilities to educate decision-makers about the value we bring
to workforce development.
Trade The Obama administration is negotiating several
trade agreements with foreign countries. The largest of
these is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a potential deal
with Asian and Latin American countries such as Japan,
Mexico, Vietnam, and, potentially, China and South Korea.
The contents of the deal are secret, but we have reason to be
suspicious. Previous trade deals, such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), devastated the job market
while providing little economic benefit. We’ll pressure the
administration to make TPP’s details public and make sure the
American people have input.
Take Action!
Legislation is not a spectator sport.
While IPAL is working on these goals in Washington, D.C.,
ironworkers have the power to influence the legislative
process from their legislators’ districts. Look out for
opportunities to write letters, make calls, and attend
rallies alongside your union brothers and sisters. This kind
of concerted action makes a difference. Get out there, and
make 2015 a winning year for ironworkers!

Hubbard Place, located at 360
West Hubbard in Chicago, is
a 43-story residential building
standing 449 feet tall. MidStates Glass and Metal, Inc. installed approximately
110,000 square feet of aluminum and glass window
wall supplied by Custom Window. Installation of
the pre-glazed unitized wall included head and sill
receptors with slab edge covers at each floor. Over
300 terrace swing doors and 1,600 operable vent
windows were included within the window wall system. Mid-States also installed the sliding glass patio
doors and screens.
At its peak, Mid-States employed 29 Local 63
ornamental ironworkers to ensure its schedule commitments were met. Local
63 members Ken Schraub
and Ron Deuter served as
foreman and as steward,
respectively.
Additional contractors working on the 360
Hubbard project are:
McHugh Construction, general contractor,
also did the rebar and

Local 63 Apprenticeship
Training Center
Unitized Curtain Wall Training
The architectural and ornamental ironworkers from
Local 63 have installed the storefronts and the preglazed curtain walls of Chicago for decades. It was
time for all the locals of the Chicago district council,
along with Local 63, to show their contractors they
train their members to install pre-glazed unitized
curtain wall. A request was put into IMPACT and
an 800-square-foot, pre-glazed curtain wall was purchased. It was designed to be installed on a pre-existing
steel structure 30 foot by 30 foot by 20 foot tall.
The skills necessary to install a unitized curtain
wall are:
• PRINT READING – The ironworker has to set up
an erection sequence, determine the distance from
column centers, elevations, panel sequence, proper
caulking and joint preparation to prevent leaks.
• SURVEYING AND LAYOUT – The ironworker has
to mark all the anchor centers using a Total Station,
and chain the elevations from floor to floor.
• WELDING – Curtain wall anchors (dead load and
wind load) may be welded or bolted. Sill starter
installed and set to elevation with an auto level.
• RIGGING – Unitized glazed panels are sent to the
jobsite in various sizes. Sometimes 400-pound panels
crated three to four in a crate, or 1000-pound panels sent in single crates. Either way these panels
are unloaded with a crane and brought to the
proper floors, uncrated, rolled to the location to be
installed, then are set using a manipulator or larger
panels are set right from the truck using a crane
with power cups or lifting bar. All this is accomplished without damaging or scratching the panels.
Thanks go to the trustees of Local 63’s
joint apprentice committee who were
instrumental in setting up this curtain
wall training.

History of the Architectural
and Ornamental Iron Workers
Union of Chicago
Richard Rowe, Local 63 (Chicago)
NOVEMBER 2014
|
The history of Architectural and Ornamental
Iron Workers Union 63 begins with a catastrophic
event, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Post-Civil
War Chicago was the most rapidly growing city in
America due in part to commerce through Great
Lakes shipping, the Illinois and Michigan Canal
and the railroads. The summer of 1871 was long,
hot and dry. Autumn brought little relief and a
disaster was waiting to happen. Fire broke out on
October 8, 1871 and burned for three days destroying over one-third of the city, including the entire
downtown business district.
Civic leaders decided to rebuild the city bigger
and better than it ever was utilizing fireproof construction methods. Tradesmen with metalworking
or masonry skills began to arrive in Chicago looking for work. Many of these workers were European
immigrants and East Coasters who had been blacklisted back at home due to their union sympathies.
Gilded Age employers had little concern for
the welfare of their employees and many Chicago
workers toiled long hard hours in dangerous conditions for little pay. By the early 1880s, architectural
ironworkers began to organize for their own protection. These were usually small independent unions
confined to one shop or foundry.
The Haymarket Affair of 1886 and the martyrs
struggle for the eight-hour day radicalized many
Chicago workers, especially the European immigrants. In 1890, the small independent architectural
ironworker unions banded together to form the
Architectural Iron Workers Union of Chicago. This
independent union had 1,500 members in three
separate locals. One local conducted its business in
English, one in German and one in Bohemian. On
May 1, 1892, this union went on strike for recognition and the eight-hour day. The strike was lost and
the fledgling union was crushed. The architectural
ironworkers re-organized and once again went on
strike. This was during the building of the 1893
World’s Fair commemorating the 400th anniversary
of Columbus’ discovery of America. The strike was
won earning recognition from the employers, the
eight-hour day and a raise in pay.
During the 1890s, a technological revolution was
taking place in the construction industry. Buildings were beginning to be framed in structural steel.
Railroad bridge builders were brought into Chicago
to erect these new “skyscrapers.” Jurisdictional disputes soon arose between the bridge and structural
ironworkers and the architectural ironworkers. In
1896, Chicago’s bridge and structural men were
among the founders of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers and became
Local 1 of that organization. The Architectural and
Ornamental Iron Workers Union of Chicago did not
immediately affiliate with that organization however, and would remain independent.
In 1900, they would affiliate with the much
more radical United Metal Workers becoming
Local 14 of that organization. The United Metal
Workers were associated with Eugene V. Debs’
American Socialist Party and would later become
one of the founding organizations of the Industrial Workers of the World or I.W.W. In 1902, the
Architectural Iron Workers Union of Chicago
would disaffiliate with the United Metal Workers
and once again be independent.
In 1903, our president at the time, O.H. Hill,
entered into negotiations with Iron Workers Local
1 over jurisdictional boundaries. Once all parties
were in agreement, the Architectural and Ornamental Iron Workers Union of Chicago affiliated
with the International Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers and was chartered as Local
63 of that organization.
At the 17th International Convention held in
1914 delegates from Architectural and Ornamental
Iron Workers Union Local 63 submitted a resolution to change the name of the organization to
the International Association of Bridge Structural
and Ornamental Iron Workers. The resolution
was passed by the delegates in attendance and was
later amended to include Pile Drivers, but that’s
another story.

Recognizes Members Making a Difference
A
s part of the 2014 ZERO
Incident
Campaign,
the “Iron Workers-IMPACT
North American Safety
Honors Program” would like
to recognize the following members who exhibited outstanding safety performance. The purpose
of this program is to formally recognize our ironworkers and contractors who achieve outstanding
safety performance on a bi-annual basis. Many
complex projects throughout the United States and
Canada are completed on time, on budget, with
outstanding safety performance. However, in many
cases these efforts remain unnoticed to project
owners, regulatory agencies, insurance carriers and
others in the construction industry. Contractors
are encouraged during IMPACT regional advisory board meetings and other events to nominate
ironworkers who have demonstrated outstanding
safety performance or intervened on projects. “SEE
SOMETHING – SAY SOMETHING.”
It is important to note that the “Iron WorkersIMPACT North American Safety Honors Program”
is not a safety incentive program, but rather a special
program designed to recognize and honor members
for utilizing their training and skill to increase safety
performance in the workplace. The criteria for the Iron
Workers Safety Honors Program are not based on
“OSHA recordable or reportable” workplace incidents
that can be misrepresented or abused. This drawing
included nominees from January 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2014. The following ironworkers will receive
a $250 gift certificate in recognition for their efforts to
increase safety performance in the workplace.

American Apprenticeships
E
arlier this year President
Obama set an ambitious
goal to double the number
of apprenticeship programs
in the U.S. within five years
and on April 16 announced the American Apprenticeships Initiative to help meet this goal. A key
element of this goal is to expand innovative apprenticeship models into new and growing industries
like construction. I attended a meeting recently to
participate in a Construction Industry Roundtable
discussion focused on the skilled talent needs of our
industry and how apprenticeships recognized by the
Department of Labor can help meet those needs.
and structured “earn and learn” model pairing paid
on-the-job learning with related technical classroom instruction in any number of career fields. It
offers job seekers immediate employment opportunities that usually pay higher than average wages
and offer continued career growth. However, individuals at the roundtable commented on how often
we hear the notion that apprenticeship is referred to
as a “dumping ground” for non-college bound students. Quite the contrary, apprenticeship is a form
of secondary education equal to a 2 or 4 year college degree – WITH ZERO STUDENT LOANS TO
PAY BACK! Over a career, someone who has gone
through a registered apprenticeship program earns
The Employment and Training
Administration acknowledges registered
apprenticeship as a proven and structured
“earn and learn” model pairing paid
on-the-job learning with related technical
classroom instruction in any number
of career fields.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez opened the
meeting with an inspiring message to the attendees
and encouraged all to voice their experiences, challenges and opinions to the group.
One of the biggest challenges many apprentice
programs face when recruiting new applicants is
the lack of knowledge the general population has
towards the building and construction trades. Add
to the fact that most U.S. high schools are preparing
students for college and completely ignore apprenticeship as a viable career option, it is no wonder
why union membership has declined steadily over
the last several decades. (Since the early 1980s, union
membership rate in the U.S. has dropped from 20.1
percent to 11.3 percent in 2013. Union membership
rate in Canada is nearly 30 percent).
The Employment and Training Administration
acknowledges registered apprenticeship as a proven
26
an estimated $300,000 more in salary and benefits
than someone who did not.
Currently, our organization has just over 12,000
apprentices registered in our 154 training centers
in North America and 93,000 active members.
Approximately $50 million is spent collectively
each year training our members in a variety of
safety and welding certifications. These certifications are instrumental in keeping our members
employed and usually without a direct cost to the
member. No tuition is charged and if there is a
certification fee IMPACT will incur the cost! The
average wage for a journeyman ironworker in our
organization in May 2014 was $28.87 an hour. That
would make the annualized average income to be
approximately $62,000.
Now let’s look at the cost of a student attending a
four year university. If annual tuition is $20,000 and
it takes an individual four years to graduate you’re
looking at a grand total of $80,000 – not including
room and board! I’m not going to debate the pros
and cons of going to college versus joining a skilled
trade because both are important to our country’s
welfare, however, it’s easy to see after four years one
of our members would have earned over $240,000 in
wages compared to a student who would have paid
or will owe over $80,000 in student loans minus the
potential earnings!
I had an opportunity to address the roundtable
participants and I stressed trade awareness and
career opportunities is the direction the building
and construction trades should direct their efforts
as a way for an organization to grow. If the general
population has no idea about apprenticeships in construction, for example, how likely are they to know
who the Iron Workers are? If President Obama is to
succeed with his goal, then national campaigns and
literature is to be disseminated to the general public,
educational institutions, and yes, even to employers!
The term apprenticeship should not be kept a secret.
General President Walter Wise’s goal of doubling
our market share means an increase in employers and membership. Having a trained and steady
workforce is not attained overnight. A continual
flow of new members must be initiated into our
local unions! Our apprentice coordinators spend a
lot of time recruiting new applicants and it’s a timeconsuming job. Hopefully, with President Obama’s
national campaign, and with your help spreading
the word, a larger pool of qualified applicants will be

The Off-The-Job Accident
Program Can Work For You
H
as this ever happened to you? An accident
or injury occurs in the off-hours that makes
working practically impossible, sidelining
you for days or even weeks. With any accident, the
uncertainty and worry start almost immediately – Will
I be covered if I’m hurt during non-working hours?
How will I be able to pay my medical bills? What about
my regular bills? How will I be able to support myself
and my family if I’m not able to work?
Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common.
With this in mind, IMPACT created a program that
will be there for you when you need help most: the OffThe-Job Accident Program. Thanks to this invaluable
program, ironworkers hurt during non-work hours
will be able to have peace of mind while they’re recovering and getting ready to come back to work.
With this benefit, IMPACT will cover up to twothirds of your paycheck per week for up to six weeks
(see inset for further details). In an era where medical
emergencies often break the bank, participants in this
program will rest a little easier knowing they will have
income while they’re in recovery.
Many unions have greeted the Off-The-Job Accident Program with praise and appreciation. “[The
Off-The-Job Accident Program] has been a godsend
for our injured members and helps them from digging a financial hole,” said Local 21 (Omaha, Neb.)
Business Manager Michael Baker.
PROGRAM DETAILS*:
WAITING PERIOD: 7 Days
INCOME REPLACEMENT:
66.7% of Weekly Income
MAXIMUM WEEKLY BENEFIT: Up to $800 per Week
(Total benefit combined with your existing plan and IMPACT
Accident Disability Plan)
BENEFIT DURATION: 6 Weeks per Disability
*Eligibility is based on current member eligibility requirements under existing local union health and welfare
plans and is subject to approval by the respective regional advisory board trustees. Complete plan details are
available through IMPACT. Any potential benefits will be payable as defined in the policy.
And the program benefits contractors and employers, too; by making sure that workers are covered on and
off the job, their employees do better work. “[The Program]… meets financial obligations in a time of need for
the member… It’s good for morale,” said Harvey Swift,
field operations manager for Bennett Steel.
What do actual ironworkers have to say about this
program? “I got injured at home,” said Keith Williams,
a union member with Local 396 of St. Louis, Mo. “I
applied for IMPACT’s Off-The-Job Disability and
28
received $800.00 a week for six weeks. That saved me.
This is a terrific IMPACT program.”
So the next time you hurt yourself, whether you
slip in the shower, take a foul ball to the head during
your kid’s Little League game or get rear-ended on
the way home from a job, rest assured that IMPACT
will have your back.
