Ready for 2011Well, as you can see onthe cover of this editionof the Journal, we hadsome winners on Election Day. And yes,you saw it right, we hadDemocratic and RepublicanIUPAT supported winners.Surprised? You shouldn’t be.The IUPAT political philosophy inthis election was summed up in aphrase we yelled at every stop in ourcoast-to-coast bus tour: We’re followingunemployment lines, not partylines! Our winners last Novemberwere “working family” winners, notjust Democrat or Republican. We letall candidates we met with knowthat everything we did in that electionwas about getting jobs for ourmembers - period.Now, as the members of 112th United StatesCongress prepare to be sworn in next January, weare readying ourselves to once again take this messageto Capitol Hill. This fight didn’t stop withElection Day, it continues to go on every day. OnNovember 30th, Vermont Independent SenatorBernie Sanders delivered a speech to the Senate thattruly explains the attack against working familiesand how the people we elected have taken sidesagainst each other and, even worse, against us.I’ve directed the communications department toplace this video on our YouTube channel -www.YouTube.com/GoIUPAT. Watch this video andyou'll see why we fight so hard in Washington, DCevery day.Today, in North America, over 17% of Americansand Canadians are out of work. The official statisticsJ A M E S A . W I L L I A M SG E N E R A L P R E S I D E N Twere just listed as 9.8% in the U.S., but the rest haveeither given up on claiming unemployment and/orare homeless and left on their own. They’ve beenforgotten in the underground economy in both ourcountries.We need to understand that and make our electedofficials in both the United States and Canada standup for us and stay focused on the working familiesagenda - Jobs, Jobs and more Jobs.We at the International aregoing to do our part, but we needyour help. In fact, our Election Dayactivities gave us the opportunity toput thousands of our unemployedmembers to work. We hired themto get out the vote by going doorto door and working the phonebanks to get the best candidateselected. I received hundreds ofcomments on how effective theirefforts were and I want to personallythank them for making ourunion the best organization in thelabor movement in good times andbad.When I met with the other AFL-CIO general presidents after theelection, some of the politiciansthat won called into our meeting. Icannot tell you how proud I waswhen Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois and Senator-electJoe Manchin of West Virginia singled out the IUPAT tothank us for our help. We were the only BuildingTrades union mentioned on the call.Needless to say, I received quite a few positivecomments from the other union leaders about ourrecognition on the call. I told them I have the best jobin the world because I have the best members in thelabor movement. Thank you to those who put so muchtime into the campaigns we worked on this year.Obviously not all of them were winners but believeme, they knew who was in this fight.I also want to thank our members who ran for publicoffice. Whether they won or lost doesn't matter,what's commendable is that they got involved andtook the challenge.Continued on page 304 O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

IUPAT Launches New Program to AnnounceJob Alerts for Members on Their Mobile PhonesThe International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) has just launcheda new service that enables members in our core crafts to get job leads via textalerts on their mobile phones. Here's how it works: Members text the first letterof their craft from their mobile phone to 48728.*Example:Painters (Industrial and Commercial) text the letter P to 48728.Glaziers text the letter G to 48728.Drywall workers text the letter D to 48728.Floor covering installers text the letter F to 48728.Trade show workers text the letter T to 48728.Sign and display workers text the letter S to 48728.Those who do so will get a confirmation message andinstructions via text to finalize their registration. When localIUPAT leaders need workers in any of those crafts, a job alertwill go out to those registered with contact information in themessage.Until recently, members willing to travel for work couldonly register on the IUPAT Traveling Journey Worker web sitewith their trade, name, address, phone numbers and emailaddress. However, when a call for workers to man jobs wentout, the news often failed to reach a portion of the listbecause of incorrect information. People move, change emailor home phones, and then fail to update it on the list.Because mobile phones – and, more importantly, theirmobile phone numbers – typically remain active when someonemoves, this text messaging program is expected to be farmore successful in reaching those looking for work.Rest assured, those who register on the Traveling JourneyWorker web site will still be contacted on the list. However, itis hoped that those with mobile phones will also be certain toregister to receive job alerts via text, as well. Local IUPATleaders often have only a 24-48 hour window to man thejob. The text message alerts will better ensure a more timelyresponse.Members with any questions about this new program cansend their questions to gmcdonald@iupat.org.*U.S. only.

EXECUTIVE GENERAL VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORTChallenges and OpportunitiesIn this harsh economy, one thing is perfectlyclear - we are all affected by it.Each of us has a family member, friend,neighbor or co-worker who is dealing witha profound change in their livelihoodbecause of underemployment or evenunemployment.Opportunities are sure to return and we as an organizationmust be ready to seize them. How do weready ourselves? We start with thebasics - training. Since 2002, Ihave served as your executive generalvice-president as well as cochairof the Finishing TradesInstitute (FTI). The FTI is a part ofour organization that, thanks toyou, has made a remarkableexpansion in resources available toour membership.In a down economy where thereis a profound lack of work opportunitiesfor our membership, the keyto being prepared for the surge ofwork that I have no doubt willcome is to take advantage of trainingopportunities by certifying andqualifying our members. The FTIwill continue to provide the methodscourses, teaching techniquesand safety training that will qualify our instructorsacross North America to deliver advanced skills trainingin our many crafts. Moreover, FTI will continue tostrive in the delivery of instructor qualifying coursessuch as lead awareness, First Aid/CPR, OSHA 10and 30 in the U.S., and many others.We have taken every step necessary to ensure thatour instructors are not only the best prepared to deliverthe training courses you need in your local area, butheavily motivated to do so as well. The FinishingTrades Institute has put a lot of work into standardizingcurriculum and developing innovative courses and programsto qualify our members as the best workforceavailable. Thanks to the FTI, and the instructors whoK E N N E T H E . R I G M A I D E NEXECUTIVE GENERAL VICE PRESIDENTtrain and learn at the International Training Centerevery day, we will stay ahead of the curve in workplaceskills.Yet, being the best at what we do on the job site isn'tenough for what IUPAT leadership expects to provide itsmembership. I firmly believe that you must work just ashard at creating opportunities as you do in seizing theones presented to you. That's where the Painters andAllied Trades Labor Management Cooperation Initiative(LMCI) is making a difference in the members’ livesevery day.The LMCI has been a bit of a mystery to our membershipbecause most believe it to be an arm of theunion that is strictly for the benefitof our employers. Those whobelieve such a thing couldn't bemore wrong. See for yourself byreading the LMCI story in the lastissue of the Journal. You'll find thatLMCI played an integral part inmaking industrial painting trainingpossible in several areas of theUnited States on short notice. As aresult, we were able to respondquickly to an industry need. WhenLMCI’s work was done more of ourmembership was working.I have been a trustee and the cosecretaryof the LMCI for nearly tenyears, and I am proud to have beena part of bringing about dramaticprogress in what it offers ouremployers and membership in theform of grants, international meetings among industryleaders, member leadership training and last, but notleast, marketing. The LMCI is the voice of the IUPAT inleading trade publications, industry meetings andevents. It is promoting how good our members are atwhat they do and marketing the companies that hireus. That’s where we’re making opportunities for ourselves.We’re showing the construction world why theyshould hire the proud members of the IUPAT to get thejob done.However, as much as we do on a daily basis, westill cannot do everything alone. As a union memberyou are a part of something that encompasses muchContinued on page 306 O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

GENERAL SECRETARY-TREASURER’S REPORTNecessity is the Mother of InventionFor years, the IUPAT has sought innovativeways to increase market share,because, after all, it is market sharethat determines how much work IUPAT membershave. To that end, we have developedmany policies and programs over the last15 years. In many ways, the district councilstructure itself was designedto increase market share.Other efforts to increase marketshare include our internationaltraining center and enhancementsto local training; the LMCI and itsprograms; millions of dollars inorganizing assistance to our districtcouncils and local unions overthe last 5 years; our ever improvinggovernment affairs departmentand our political activism;Leadership Series Training; specialinitiatives in floor covering, glazingand industrial painting; TopWorkplace Performance; and severalothers too numerous to list.Many more innovative ideas and programs havebeen developed and implemented by our districtcouncils and local unions. All of these policies andprograms must continue; however, in many placesthey are not enough. Bold steps will be required toincrease market share … steps that may represent adeparture from how we have unsuccessfully donebusiness … steps that will require careful considerationand intense member education.One possible step that may help in some areaswould be to base future pay increases upon our abilityto expand market share.This may be necessary in areas where we are indanger of pricing ourselves out of the market, wherethere is a declining market share, or whereG E O R G EG E N E R A L S E C R E T A R Y - T R E A S U R E Rdepressed economic conditions have eliminatedmost of the new construction and markets we havetraditionally enjoyed. This only leaves us withrepaint, service work, retro fit, light commercial andother markets in which we have not recently beencompetitive.In those areas we must take a hard look at ourselvesand decide, “Do we want to be the highestpaid unemployed workers in our industries, or do wewant to make fair wages and benefits and worksteady?”If the answer is we want steady work at a fairwage, then we must examine ourcollective bargaining process andour Collective BargainingAgreements.The following two sampleCollective Bargaining Agreement(CBA) clauses may assist in thisendeavor:“Effective (Insert Date) theincrease in the wage and fringepackage of this agreement shallbe based upon the number ofman-hours worked by the employeesof the bargaining unit coveredby this Collective BargainingAgreement in the preceding calendaryear.

It alsocalculates the cost of wasted paint and othervaluable data. The students continue trying toimprove their scores following basic sprayingfundamentals. The result is rapid learning of betterspray technique with zero materials wasted.The VirtualSpray equipment was developed bythe University of Northern Iowa for the Departmentof Defense.

Recently, with the assistanceof your company, we executed one of the last steps inthis four month project.I have had around 15 different vendors take partin this project from beginning to end. Although eachgroup plays a significant role in a project’s success, Ibelieve it is important to recognize certain people fortheir outstanding efforts that go above and beyondthe normal call of duty. In saying that, I want to letyou know that the group of painters Aluma sent outdid a fantastic job in every aspect. They were verycustomer service-oriented and were the hardest workinggroup on this project by far. They were problemsolvers in the face of many obstacles, but overcameeach with flying colors. They worked safe and verywell together and the quality of the product wasexceptional. They required very little supervision anddid not overwhelm me with requests.Because of these workers, I will not hesitate to useyour painting division of Aluma in the future on anyprojects I am on, and expect me to request this specificgroup of guys.Now for the most important part of this letter, thenames of those individuals:Jason Villain- Project foremanJuan Flores- painterJorge Flores- painterAndres Flores- painterPlease pass on my gratitude for a job well doneand I would encourage you to recognize them.Thank you.IUPAT industrial painters from Local Union 177 who are showing the world we're the best in the business.

F I N I S H I N G C O N T R A C T O R SA S S O C I A T I O NThe Election Process:Truth, Fiction, Reality, and OpinionFirst, you need to know that mymom was a Republican and mydad was a Democrat. Theyreally didn’t talk much politics.They knew me, and my brothers and sisters wouldall grow up soon enough and, as we all should do,shoulder the responsibilities of our convictions andbeliefs. There would be plenty of time for that later inour young lives.My first real recollection of an election was whenFive Star General Dwight David Eisenhower won in1952, defeating Senator Adlai Stevenson, a senatorfrom Illinois. What I remember was GeneralEisenhower’s slogan, “I like Ike.” As a kid that was allthat mattered to me. I don’t remember SenatorStevenson’s slogan, so maybe the guy with the bestslogan does have a better chance. That’s an opinion.What I do remember about Stevenson is when hewas our ambassador to the United Nations during theCuban Missile Crisis, as it was called in 1962, hestood up against the Russian ambassador and askedsome tough questions. When the Russian ambassadorsaid he would have to wait for the Russians’ answer,Stevenson said, “I am prepared to wait until hellfreezes over.” That was impressive and he became atrue hero. That’s the truth.On the evening of the 1952 election, I remember Iwas sprawled out on the living room floor in front of a16-inch round screen TV in our tiny 450 square foot“dream home” with carpet and everything, warm andhappy. When the election results came in, Mom justsmiled because her guy won and Dad said, “Well,we survived the last Republican president. Guess wecan survive this one.”In those days, for the first time in his young life, mydad was making “good money” as a union painter.Life was good and he didn’t want to see anythingchange. But, we all know change is inevitable. It’shard to face, but change is an integral part of ourpolitical system as well. Over time, we the people sortout the truth and make the necessary changes thatkeep our nation strong.Sadly, the election process brings out the absoluteworst in some people. I can’t believe the negative adcampaigns on both sides of the aisle. We are hammeredwith rhetoric day and night, a constant barrageof phone calls to the point that I don’t believemuch of anything that is said. There is the fiction.What the political leaders do is what counts. It’swhat they accomplish as individuals, before and afteran election, that matters to me. Another opinion.Elections are a necessary part of our political systemwhich, no matter what, remains the absolute best system.We don’t need to abandon our democratic political system.We do need to take a hard look at what we do toinfluence the vote. Too much time and money is wastedon empty promises and pie in the sky dreams by bothparties that simply are impossible to achieve.The process of winning an election has become ahuge business unto itself. Consider for a moment thatin excess of $5 billion was spent on the 2008 election.Granted, that was a big election year, but thereis a problem when the process overshadows the realityof what we are trying to accomplish. The politicalsystem needs a thorough overhaul. The electionprocess is a distraction from the real business of seekingout the smartest and best leaders to serve ourcountry. We need to change this.In this election, the Republican Party has gainedsubstantial ground and will enjoy a period of euphoria.When that runs its course, Republicans andDemocrats both will be charged with the responsibilityof dealing with the economy, unemployment, andhealth care costs -- all these things, both here andaround the world. The party will be over and it willbe time to move forward with the most serious businessof running our country. We have got to worktogether to make real progress. That is reality.Ed Smith is chairman of the Finishing Contractors Association (FCA), the only international trade associationdevoted exclusively to serving the unique needs of U.S. and Canadian union contractors in the drywall finishing,glass and glazing, floor covering, painting and decorating, and signs and display trades.

I N T E R N A T I O N A L U N I O N O FP A I N T E R S A N D A L L I E D T R A D E SJob Corps Restores Massive Pennsylvania LandmarkGrey Towers, built in 1886 and located inMilford, Pennsylvania, is the ancestral home ofthe founder and first chief of the U.S. ForestService, Gifford Pinchot. Son of a wealthy businessman,Pinchot (who also twice-served as governor ofPennsylvania) grew up to be a staunch supporter of conservationand was a leader in the movement to preserveour country's nature destinations.Today, Grey Towers serves as a center to educateand promote conservationism to both the general publicand leaders in the conservation movement.Understandably, this 124 year-old building is in regularneed of repair and renovation to continue to show wellfor its many visitors each year. In the summer of 2010,the Forest Service called on the International Union ofPainters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) Job Corps programto give Grey Towers a new shine.When National Project Coordinator Andrew Larsonreceived the call from Larry Dawson, the national directorof the Job Corps for the U.S. Forest Service, he wasn'tsurprised. “Job Corps and the Forest Service have along history together in many ways,” said Larson. “Ourstudents have done a lot of work in national parks andmonuments.” However, when Larson visited GreyTowers with Field Coordinator Newt Sayers andKeystone Job Corps Center Painting Instructor FrankSikora, the scope of work required admittedly caughthim a bit off guard.“They had a bid from a contractor that was almost$140,000 to get the job done and I could seewhy,”said Larson. Total work on Grey Towers, a barnand 4 other large dwellings required interior and exteriorprep and painting, some decorative painting and agreat number of equipment and workers to get the jobdone. Undeterred, Larson and his crew put a plan intomotion that would eventually put ten IUPAT Job Corpsinstructors and over 60 students from all over the countryto work on this project.In the end, after this small army of craftsmen andwomen were done, the job came in on schedule and ona budget that was nearly half of what was originallybid. The finished product at Grey Towers is just that, afinished product in which these fine young men andwomen should be proud. Almost daily, both during thejob and after, the IUPAT Job Corps offices received complimentson how well-mannered and professional thepre-apprentices and their instructors executed their tasks.Today, Grey Towers greets its visitors with a freshand formal look that everyone has come to expect fromsuch a grand venue and it’s all thanks to the young menand women of Job Corps. Congratulations to all whoput so much time and talent into this worthy project. Aspecial note of thanks to the IUPAT instructors who madethis happen: Frank Sikora, Tammy Witt, Michael Smith,Mark Love, Tim Raftery, Dennis Mersman, HarryHinrichs, Justin Martak, Rod Perkins and Frank Massey.O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L27

I N T E R N A T I O N A L U N I O N O FP A I N T E R S A N D A L L I E D T R A D E SMidterm MakeoverIt was yet another history-making election on November 2 in the United States as theRepublicans took control of the House of Representatives and gained ground in theSenate. Perhaps President Obama summed the results of the mid-term elections up the bestfor the Democrats when he said, “It was a shellacking.”Not surprisingly, it wasn’t longbefore pundits, politicians andreporters tied the fortunes of the labormovement to the woes of theDemocratic Party. In the final weeksbefore the election, mainstream mediaheavily reported on how the labormovement was a major source offunding for the Democratic Party'sefforts, calling the funding almostcomparable to what the Chamber ofCommerce and other conservativeg r o u p s w e r e d o i n g f o r t h eRepublicans. On election night, whenit became clear that the Democratssuffered major losses, the media concludedand then announced (not forthe first time) that labor had evidentlylost its punch in politics.It wasn't just the major media outletseither. Indiana’s The KokomoPerspective ran a headline thatannounced, “Election Results CouldMean Doom For Unions.” Doom?Obviously, they didn't listen to therallying call of the International Unionof Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT)‘It’s About Jobs!’ bus tour lastOctober.IUPAT COAST-TO-COASTThis latest IUPAT bus tour began inSeattle, Washington where IUPATGeneral Vice President Ray Sesmagave an early morning address to acrowd of union members. He immediatelymade it clear to all how thisIUPAT tour was going to operatewhen he proclaimed to the cheeringcrowd, “The only lines this bus is followingare unemployment lines; notpartisan lines.IUPAT members then announcedan endorsement for CongressmanDave Reichert, a Republican congressmanseeking re-election inWashington’s 8th CongressionalDistrict. The endorsement came onlyhours before another event to endorsepro-working family Senator PattyMurray, a Democrat seeking her ownre-election. Endorsements on bothsides of the aisle were greeted withsurprise by both the media and thosein politics, but it showed everyonehow serious the IUPAT was aboutmaking this election about JOBS andnot party politics. In the end, Jobswas the number one issue and unemployedAmericans came out to vote inan unprecedented way. Exit pollsshow that nearly 40% of all unemployedor underemployed Americans“We need to cometogether as Americansto solve our problemsand stop thinkingabout solutions in termsof Republican ideas orDemocrat ideas. I'mproud to work withIUPAT to make surethat happens.”Congressman Dave Reichert,R-Washington28 O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

voted in this election and voted for thecandidate who was talking about jobcreation in a real, tangible way. Thisis exactly what the bus tour and theIUPAT’s 2010 political campaignwere aimed at getting candidates todo.“I hear from just as many memberswho are Republican as I do who areDemocrat,” said IUPAT GeneralPresident James Williams. “My job,and the job of the IUPAT GovernmentAffairs staff, is to speak up for theinterests of our members to those whoare elected to represent them - period.We do not check to see whether theyhave a donkey or an elephant pin ontheir lapel before we talk to them.”But before we can talk to pro-workingfamily candidates on Capitol Hill,we have to get them to Capitol Hill,and General President Williamslaunched an unprecedented get-outthevote effort to make that happen.In addition to the 19-day, nearly6,000-mile bus tour that connectedunion members and pro-working familycandidates on the campaign trailacross the country, IUPAT leadershipauthorized the hiring of 1,500 unemployedand retired IUPAT members towork Election Day and early votingactivities.“It was a win-win situation for us,”said IUPAT General Vice PresidentRay Price. “Not only did we rally asmall army to put feet on the streetand get out the vote for the candidateswe support, but, more importantly,we were able to put some ofour unemployed members to workand earn some badly neededmoney.”On Election Day, the IUPAT Armyof Black and Gold took to the streetslike never before. Over 3,500 membersand staff across the country werecampaigning for the candidates wesupport. It is estimated that this wasthe strongest showing of any BuildingTrades union and ranks with manyother international unions that are 10times larger than the IUPAT.Although the outcome of ElectionDay left labor with more losers thanwinners, the IUPAT still won an importantvictory. “We came, we foughtand we don't have anything to beashamed of,” said IUPAT GeneralVice President Bill Candelori. “Boththe candidates who won, and thoseI U P A T 2 0 1 0 B YT H E N U M B E R S3,500 Election Day workersOver 150 Jobs rallies orevents with 2010 candidates175,000 leaflets/fliersprinted out off of theWorking Families Toolkitand passed outGEB Members attendedlabor walks or labor2010 events in 25 stateswho lost, saw our strength and ourcommitment to our members. We’llnow focus that same strength andcommitment on forging new allianceswith those now in office, and find thecommon ground we need to makecertain the voices of our members areheard.”In a post-election radio interview,General President Williams had amessage for those new leaders comingto Washington: “Congratulationsto all those who won yesterday. Theball is now in your court. You wonand now you must take ownership ofthe economy. Be ready to work withme and the AFL-CIO to put the unemployedback to work.”Clearly our priority on Capitol Hillcan be summed up in one word -JOBS. The IUPAT Government Affairsteam will be working every day withthe incoming members of Congress tomake certain all campaign promisesare fulfilled when it comes to puttingAmerica back to work.“I look forward to working with the members ofthe Painters Union to fight for the priorities ofworking families in Congress. My campaign forCongress was about bringing back economicstability and fighting for meaningful jobs,and I look forward to going to Washingtonto do just that.”Congressman-electPat Meehan, R-PennsylvaniaO C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L29

GENERAL PRESIDENT’S REPORTContinued from page 4Finally, I want each of you reading this article toregister for our Mobile News Network by textingIUPAT to 48728. You'll get news directly on yourmobile phone about job alerts, union events andyou might even hear about a meeting at your localunion hall when I'll be there to answer your questions.I know that texting might seem a bit strangeto some of us. But I want you to do what I did andask someone younger than 40 to show you how todo it. It's important. It's the future. We need tomake this happen.Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays to allof you and your families. Here's to the victories wehave ahead of us.EXECUTIVE GENERAL VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORTContinued from page 6more than the IUPAT and its associated programs.Being a part of the organized labor movement is veryimportant for you in these hard times. The IUPAT is oneof 57 national and international unions represented bythe AFL-CIO. Your union represents over 160,000active and retired members in the United States andCanada. As a whole, the AFL-CIO represents over 15million union members. That's right. You have over 15million union brothers and sisters in North Americawatching your back. Now you can see why labor as aunited force can make such an impact when it comes toinitiatives and elections that matter so much to workingfamilies.In addition to being responsible for “making the trainsrun on time” relative to the day-to-day operations of themany departments of the IUPAT, I have the honor of servingon several AFL-CIO Executive Council committees. Ialso represent General President Williams on the AFL-CIOBuilding and Construction Trades Department’s (BCTD)Governing Board of Presidents when his schedule conflictswith a meeting.My years of working with the AFL-CIO and theBCTD have been encouraging for me as I look at whatis ahead for us as a union. I can report to you that ourconnection to the house of labor is stronger than it hasever been, and more importantly, we are not alone inseizing and creating opportunities that may be outthere on a national scale thanks to the AFL-CIO andBCTD. For example, through the BCTD and its affiliatemember unions, we’re 6working under project laboragreements (which means more jobs for union members)that ensure that the end-user has a stable, skilledand qualified workforce, and that any disputes over thedivision of work can be resolved in a manner agreeableto all.The opportunity for me to be a part of the leadershipteam of the International Union of Painters and AlliedTrades has been an invaluable experience andstrengthens my resolve to work to maintain our standingin the house of labor and, more importantly, takethese opportunities and work them to the advantage ofour members.I've given you a glimpse of what is happening on thenational and international level in the name of theIUPAT and the rest of the labor movement. Now, I hopeyou’ll be inspired to do your part on the local level.Continue your training, stay involved in union activities,and go to your union meetings.We've got a new year ahead of us with plenty of challengesand opportunities. Join me in meeting them withnot only resolve, but hope as well.Happy Holidays to all.30O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

GENERAL SECRETARY TREASURER’S REPORTContinued from page 7ment exceeds (Insert number) for the calendar year of (Insert year){i.e. 2009}. If the man-hours exceed (Insert number) for ____ (year)then ($ Insert amount) shall be added to the hourly wage and fringepackage of this Collective Bargaining Agreement. For the purpose ofdetermining the total man-hours worked under this CollectiveBargaining Agreement for this clause, the number of hours contributedto the (Insert Name of Trust Fund) for the year shall be thedetermining factor. This process will repeat for each subsequent yearof this agreement.The only exception to the above clause is (Insert amount) per houradded annually to the fringe benefit funds, as called for in this agreement.”These clauses are certainly not for every Collective BargainingAgreement and every situation; however, some circumstances, industries,and market segments may need this approach to stabilize costs until marketshare increases or the economy improves. In some areas, the currenteconomic conditions and the amount of unemployment we are experiencingwill bring the employers to the bargaining table seeking concessionsor a wage freeze. This clause will allow us to still get a pay increase inthese situations if the economy improves over the course of the CBA. Thisapproach can also provide an incentive for the district councils or LocalUnions to organize and find innovative ways to increase market share,and it will motivate members to self-police any attempts by unscrupulousemployers to shave the number of man-hours reported.Determining what that man-hour threshold should be can be challenging.One idea is to use a 10 year average of the annual manhours,thus taking into consideration good years and bad. This willresult in increases when we are doing better than average, and it willkeep our employers competitive in the down years.If this clause can increase or maintain man-hours, it will have apositive effect on members even if they do not receive an hourlyincrease each year. For example, a member making $25 an hour andworking 1,800 hours per year earns $45,000 per year, but if a $2per hour increase results in that member only working 1,600 hours,he or she would earn only $43,200 the next year. Also, at 1,800hours, the members would have more hours paid into the fringe benefitspackage, thus increasing health and welfare, and pension benefits.In all markets, you control the market, compete in it, or becomeirrelevant. Since we do not control the market, we must compete in itor run the risk of becoming irrelevant.

P A I N T E R S & A L L I E D T R A D E SL A B O R M A N A G E M E N TC O O P E R A T I O N I N I T I A T I V EThe 2010 LMCI Finishing Industries ForumThe inaugural Painters and Allied Trades LMCI FinishingIndustries Forum (FIF) was held in 2004. It broughttogether International Union of Painters and AlliedTrades (IUPAT) union leaders and employers to discuss thechallenges we face in our industries and to work together tofind solutions to those challenges.Back in 2004, the economy wasfinally recovering from the marketcrash after September 11th, andexperts were predicting an upcomingconstruction boom. So, the agenda ofthat first FIF concentrated on how ourunion and employers could best prepareto bid, win and man the jobs thatwere on their way.Obviously, since then, times havechanged. Through the down economicyears, the LMCI adapted the agenda ofFIF to meet current needs of its signatorycontractors and union leaders. It is thatability to modify itself that has made thisa signature event for the LMCI, theIUPAT and the Finishing ContractorsAssociation (FCA). It is one of the mostwell attended events in our industries.Today, as the market shows signs ofmaking a slow, but hopefully steadyrecovery in 2011, the LMCI has shiftedits focus from purely market survival toinitiating market recovery in this year’sFIF. The union and management leadershipof LMCI believes that now is thetime to make certain that both laborand management are ready to man thejobs that will surely return.The 2010 LMCI Finishing IndustriesForum (FIF), held December 1-3, 2010,in Las Vegas, announced the theme of‘It’s Now or Never!’ and the event’srecord-setting crowd of IUPAT contractorsand union leaders rose to the challengethat week. A new feature of thisyear’s event were craft-specific workshopspaneled by industry leaders inboth labor and management. Theywere modeled on a wildly successfulworkshop that was held last year.“In 2009, we held a workshop thatspecifically addressed our market sharein the floor covering installation industry,and it was enormously popular,”said Kevin LaRue, LMCI administrator.“Since that workshop, we’ve puttogether a marketing plan, trained ourmembers in new marketing techniquesand have made plans to build ourworkforce (membership) when the tideof the economy takes a positive turn.“Based on that substantial success,we’ve put together workshops for thisyear that cover industrial painting,commercial painting, drywall finishing,glazing and sign/display andtradeshow,” LaRue said. “The plan ofthe union and the FCA is to put thesame kind of marketing initiatives thatwe used for Floor Covering to work forthe rest of our core trades.”Sean McGarvey, secretary treasurerof the AFL-CIO Building andConstruction Trades Department,applauded LMCI’s goals in this FIFwhen he spoke during the first morningof the event. “Believe it or not, we willThe three-day event wrapped withIUPAT General President JamesWilliams and FCA President Ed Smith,the LMCI co-chairs, taking questionsfrom event attendees.The 2010 LMCI Finishing Industries Forum.32O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

You’ll need to perform as acontractor, and we’ll need to performas crafts people. And if we do, we’llget the next project and the next projectafter that. As long as we perform,we’ll grow.”IUPAT General President JamesWilliams and FCA Chairman Ed Smith,co-chairs of the LMCI, reminded theattendees that accountability and teamworkare paramount to the mutual successof IUPAT labor and management.“When we took that oath of officeto be a labor leader, it was to beresponsible for our actions,” saidWilliams. “I know every single daywhen I get up, I look forward togoing to work. We all should havethat attitude. If someone doesn’t, weshould remove those people fromtheir positions. I know that mightsound a little hard coming from alabor leader, but I think it’s necessary;leaders lead.”“Our mission is to gain marketshare for our contractors and we dothat by building and maintaining astrong partnership with our labor partners,”said Smith. “It’s the only way itwill work.”The LMCI Finishing Industries Forumworks every year to put IUPAT signatorycompanies at the top of their industriesso that IUPAT members can count on along and successful career in our manytrades.

In thesemeetings, such as theIndustrial PaintWorkshop (left) led byLMCI Industry LiaisonJohn Courtien (podium),industry and unionleaders met to identifyand discuss issuesrelevant to our mutualsuccess in our industries.Everyone had theopportunity to offeropinions and ideas onhow to prepare ourselvesfor when the economytakes a turn for thebetter.LMCI LAUNCHES WEB SITEAT FIF TO BUILD NEWMARKET SHAREFaux Finishing, or decorativepainting, is a craft in which IUPATcontractors see great potential forexpanding their painting business.However, although the training thatthe IUPAT Finishing Trades Instituteprovides has been very successful,some companies are finding itdifficult to price the work. The LMCIworked with noted Faux Finishingexpert Sheri Zeman to develop anew web site to solve that problem.“An issue with decorative paintinghas always been that contractorssay that they know how to do it, butthey don’t know how much tocharge. There are just too manyfactors that go into it versustraditional painting work,”explained Zeman. “What we'vedone is develop this site to take thatguesswork out of it.” Learn more atwww.LMCIonline.org.O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L 33

P A I N T E R S A N D A L L I E D T R A D E SI N D U S T R Y P E N S I O N F U N DDefinitely a Happy Anniversaryfor a Pension Fund Investment!On October 10, 2003, the IUPAT Industry PensionFund and Hilton Hotels Corporation broke groundon the Embassy Suites Hotel WashingtonConvention Center in downtown Washington, DC.“The hard working men andwomen of the IUPAT are proudto make this sound investmentin Washington, DC’s success,”declared James A. Williams, generalpresident of the IUPAT at the groundbreakingceremony on that sunnyOctober day. The general presidentdidn't know just how prophetic hiswords would prove to be.Two years later, construction wascomplete and the union and PensionFund Trustees celebrated the grandopening of what would become oneof Washington DC’s busiest hotels.After only five years, it’s enjoyed farabove average occupancy and continuesto receive rave reviews andawards in the hospitality industry.More importantly, however, it hasbeen an incredibly profitable investmentfor IUPAT Industry Pension Fundparticipants.Since the land purchase in 2000,the average return on this investmenthas been 10.3 percent. When youconsider the two significant downturnsin the financial markets since 2000,the first after attacks on 9/11 andthen the crash of 2008, that rate ofreturn on an original investment of$95 million is impressive to say theleast. This success has proven thatreal estate is one of the best investmentsyou can make because, as thesaying goes, ‘they’re not making anymore land.’“The property has been a steadyand reliable investment for the Fundfrom day one,” said Pension FundAdministrator Gary Meyers. “In thisnew economy, where every financialexpert is looking for stable investmentopportunities, our choice toinvest in real estate and this hotelhas turned out to be one of the wisestdecisions the trustees have evermade.”November 2010 marked the fifthanniversary of the hotel’s grand openingand there are no signs of businessslowing down. In fact, the latestanalysis of investment returns on theproperty indicate that, overall, theFund is seeing a remarkable 13.3percent return on the hotel from thestart of construction.The Board of Trustees for theIUPAT Industry Pension Fund will continueto press our hired professionalsto find more investment opportunitieslike the hotel. Although the financialmarkets continue to show signs ofrecovery, the volatility we’ve encounteredover the last decade demandsthat we continue to diversify andbroaden our investment strategy. Ourmission is to make certain every participantand beneficiary can rely onwhat they’ve worked so hard for - asecure retirement.Happy Holidays and New Year toall!“On behalf of Esterline Defense Technologies,I would like to personally thank you for thesuccessful events we recently held at yourproperty. The hotel is the perfect venue withits close proximity to the [Washington, DC]Convention Center. However, what truly setsyour hotel apart is the amazing quality ofyour entire staff. I work with many hotelsacross the country and I can honestly saythat yours sets the standard.”Very best regards,Lisa MontgomeryMarketing Manager, Esterline Defense Technologies34 O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR CANADIAN PARTICIPANTS:SOMEPP ELECTION NOTICEAs communicated to you last year, the Trustees had filed a written election with theOntario Superintendent of Financial Services to be declared a Specified Ontario Multi-Employer Pension Plan (SOMEPP).The SOMEPP designation is a new category of Multi-Employer Pension Plan (MEPP)under the Ontario pension legislation designed to provide temporary relief from solvencyfunding requirements until the province implements a permanent solution for MEPPs.Where a solvency deficiency exists, the Ontario pension regulator normallyrequires action to be taken to address the solvency shortfall, and for MEPPs such as ours, this may involve benefitreductions. Thus, the purpose of the SOMEPP election is to avoid any unnecessary and inappropriate benefit reductions.The SOMEPP election will have no impact on your benefits except in the unlikely event that the plan were to be fullyterminated, in which case, benefits would have to be reduced to reflect the plan’s transfer ratio (57% as of January 1, 2010).RETIREELIVINGJust over 30 years ago, Richard Ribanic was a nonunionpainter working a union job in New York. He waspainting closets and just trying to put in aday’s work when Edward Capaldo, an officerfrom IUPAT Local Union 1486,approached him. “Basically, I was caught,but they still wanted me on the job,” saidRibanic. “So, they brought me down to theunion hall the next day. I paid towards myapprenticeship book and moved up to paintingat a local power plant not long after. Iwas at that job for the next eight yearsthanks to joining the union.”In 2001, Brother Ribanic moved toFlorida and joined District Council 78/LocalUnion 1010 to work for Disney at Buena VistaConstruction in Orlando. He immediately impressed hisnew employers. “Disney sets some pretty high standardsfor those who work for them,” said Jack Plettinck, businessrepresentative for District Council 78. “Richard did thework of two men on the job every day, and Disney sawthat. So, they asked for him by name for every job andmade sure he was always on the crew.”In November, Ribanic decided it was time to retire sohe could relax, do some traveling and spend some timewith his grandchildren. When asked what he'll missRICHARD RIBANICLocal Union 1010District Council 78Floridamost about the job, Ribanic didn't hesitate to answer. “Itwas meeting the new people and traveling to a differentplace for each job back up in New York.There was a lot of variety in what I didfrom day to day and I enjoyed that.”In addition to being such a skilledworker, Ribanic was a leader as well. Heserved as a delegate for DC 78/LU 1010since 2003.Ribanic plans to travel out west for hisfirst trip, perhaps to the Grand Canyon. Heoften tells the young members of the IUPAThe talks to at meetings about the life of theunion painter compared to the life of thenon-union painter. “I explain that the unionpainter gets two checks each week - one for his weeklypay, the other goes to his pension. The non-union painteronly gets one. When it's time to retire, the union man haswhat he's managed to save plus his pension waiting forhim. Not so for the non-union worker. That's why I'm fortunateenough to retire in my fifties. God Bless the IUPAT.”“Richard was a great mentor for our younger guys onthe job and we're lucky that he continues to come in to ourmeetings and speak with them,” said Plettinck. “We allwish him a long and happy retirement. He's definitelyearned it.”O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L35
