Calgary Stampede and IATSE Local 212 Celebrating 100 Years Together TThis summer The Calgary Stampede marked its 100th anniversary of celebrating Western heritage and values. And it was fabulous! IATSE Local 212 was granted its Charter one year earlier than the first ever Stampede. The two have developed together and grown closer, working through a collective agreement to become an integral part of the 10 days of what is regularly called the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”. At the heart of the Stampede, Local 212 members are in the infield working the stage for both the afternoon rodeo followed by the “Half Mile of Hell” Rangeland Derby Chuckwagon races. In the evening, Local 212 crews the Young Canadians Grandstand nightly extravaganza with centennial star Paul Brandt, while at the same time working all the concert series (this year – the Beach Boys, Garth Brooks, Johnny Reid & Brad Paisley) at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Even before the Stampede opened its gates the first Friday in July, Local 212 members at F&D Scene Changes Ltd. had been working for weeks to produce numerous award-winning Stampede parade floats and all the scenery and props for the Grandstand show. Elsewhere on the Stampede grounds, Local 212 supplies crew to install rigging and décor for the events in the Big Four building and the BMO Roundup Centre - and crewed all the live shows at the Coke Stage and the Corral as well as the Archie Boyce Theatre. Local 212 members also erected “the world’s longest temporary zip-line ride” for the centenary year. This year, the Calgary Stampede broke all its attendance records, welcoming over 1.4 million guests through the gates over the 10 days. Local 212 is proud to have done its part in making their experience a truly memorable one! Long-time Local 212 member Clarke Smith receives recognition from Damian Petti, International V.P./Local 212 President, for 45 years of consecutive employment at the Calgary Stampede Coke Stage. Clarke is believed to be the Calgary Stampede's longest-serving active employee. 70’ high x 140’base Teepee sculpture at the Stampede Park entrance, constructed and installed by F&D Scene Changes Ltd.

We must Stand Up and Fight Back by joining the PAC and letting our voices be heard.” The 2012 Contest will offer three prepaid Union Plus VISA cards (to be used wherever VISA is accepted): Grand Prize $1,500 card Second Prize $1,000 card Third Prize $500 card Three Ways to Contribute: Use the Online Contribution System Use the Credit/Debit Authorization Card Use Payroll Authorization voucher Three Suggested Levels of Giving: President’s Club: $40/month, receive cap Leader’s Club: $20/month, receive t-shirt Activist’s Club: $10/month, receive lapel pin Michael J. Sullivan Retired International Vice President By supporting your IATSE-PAC, you will be deepening your commitment to preserve the promise of Social Security and Medicare for current and future retired Americans. The contest is effective immediately and will run until the drawing is held at the Mid-Winter meeting of the General Executive Board in January 2013 when three winners will be announced. Only IATSE members, employees of the IATSE and IATSE local unions, and their families who contribute $10 or more per month to the IATSE-PAC are eligible to win and will automatically be enrolled in this year’s contest. Those who have previously committed to making monthly contributions of $10 or more are automatically enrolled in the 2012 contest. Solicitation Rules • The IATSE-PAC makes contributions in federal elections. • Contributions to the IATSE-PAC are not tax deductible. • The amount of your contribution to the IATSE-PAC is voluntary. No member will face any reprisal, retribution or retaliation for contributions less than the price of a ticket or decision not to contribute. • Federal Law requires the IATSE-PAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contribution exceeds $200 in a calendar year. • This solicitation is directed to IATSE members, executives, administrators and their families only. • Individuals must be a United States citizen or a lawful permanent resident to contribute to the IATSE-PAC. The Stand Up, Fight Back campaign is a way for the IATSE to stand up to attacks on our members from antiworker politicians. The mission of the Stand Up, Fight Back campaign is to increase IATSE-PAC contributions so that the IATSE can support those politicians who fight for working people and stand behind the policies important to our membership, while fighting politicians and policies that do not benefit our members. The IATSE, along with every other union and guild across the country, has come under recent attacks. Everywhere from Madison, Wisconsin to Washington, DC, anti-worker politicians are trying to silence the voices of American workers by taking away their collective bargaining rights, stripping their healthcare coverage, and doing away with defined pension plans. Support Candidates Who Stand With Us! For our collective voice to be heard, IATSE’s members must become more involved in shaping the federal legislative and administrative agenda. Our concerns and interests must be heard and considered by federal lawmakers. But labor unions (like corporations) cannot contribute to the campaigns of candidates for federal office. Most prominent labor organizations have established PAC’s which may make voluntary campaign contributions to federal candidates and seek contributions to the PAC from union members. To give you a voice in Washington, the IATSE has its own PAC, the IATSE Political Action Committee (“IATSE-PAC”), a federal political action committee designed to support candidates for federal office who promote the interests of working men and women. Join The Stand Up, Fight Back Campaign!
