Manager Nate Richmond reported to the General Executive Board on his activities as the IATSE representative on the Canada Labour Congress Human Rights Advisory Committee Solidarity & Pride Working Group. Richmond reported that he attended the CLC Solidarity & Pride Working Group meetings in Ottawa over two days in April 2019. At those meetings, the Working Group confirmed its next convention will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia in May 2020. The Working Group also confirmed that non-gendered based pronouns would be used for all name badges for Convention attendees. Over the course of the two days, the Working Group engaged in a number of discussions on topics of relevance to the Working Group including the Canadian Blood Services differential treatment of blood donations received from men who engage in sex with other men (MSM’s) and the “Blood Surrogate” social media campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the issue. President Loeb thanked Richmond for his representation of IATSE on the Working Group and his report. CORNELL UNIVERSITY/ AFL-CIO STRATEGIC CORPO- RATE RESEARCH SUMMER SCHOOL Interim Director of Communications Jonas Loeb reported that he, along with International Representatives Jeremy Salter and Kevin Allen, and West Coast Office Paralegal Dinh-Tuong Luong, attended the AFL-CIO Strategic Corporate Research Summer School at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations in Ithaca, New York from June 9 - 14, 2019. The course featured a twenty-fourstep model for conducting strategic corporate research, designed to include the information necessary to engage in comprehensive campaigns, including identifying corporate decision makers, key relationships, profit centers, growth strategies, and supply chains. Using this model gives researchers a comprehensive look at organizations’ internal operations, command and control, and outside stakeholders. In long-term campaigns, being armed with this information can be indispensable in verifying that unions are in touch with the right people and the campaign is run most effectively. Through hands-on work examining real companies and corporate structures, the course familiarized attendees with a variety of legal, academic, and business research tools including Mergent Intellect, Mergent Online, LexisNexis, the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database, and other tools in the Cornell University Library, which the attendees have continued access to in the months following the week-long course. The week-long course successfully equipped the four IATSE attendees with the necessary skills to conduct strategic corporate research at a sophisticated level. Those reporting expressed enthusiasm about gaining the experience, and qualifications offered by the program and look forward to utilizing these skills, and a methodical approach to strategic corporate research in future IATSE campaigns. President Loeb thanked the attendees for their report and noted that applications to this program are required and acceptance is limited. The Alliance now has several people who have been trained in this program and to the extent we can do so, will continue to send participants to this course and invest in this type of training. EVERY PLATE FULL CHALLENGE International Vice President Damian Petti presented a power-point presentation to the General Executive Board on the 2019 Canadian National Food Drive and IATSE’s year-over-year successes in the Every Plate Full Challenge. The initiative, in its fifth year, was an overwhelming success again in 2019, raising over 300,000 meals and cash donations of $102,500. Over the past five years, IATSE has raised over 1.2 million meals and over $412,000 in cash donations. Vice President Petti highlighted some of the notable efforts by IATSE Locals in 2019, including contributions by Locals 58, 129, 212, 580, 828, 856 and 873. President Loeb congratulated Vice President Petti, the Canadian Office and all participating Canadian Locals on the tremendous success of the national food drive again in 2019. FISERV FORUM International Vice President Craig Carlson, International Representative Ben Hague, Local 2 Vice President Frank Taylor, Local 18 Business Manager and President Tom Gergerich and Mike Griebl, respectively, reported to the Board on the successful effort to organize Milwaukee’s brand-new Fiserv Forum Arena. On January 26, 2018, Local 18 requested assistance from the International with its representation campaign. President Loeb assigned Vice President Carlson who—over the course of nineteen 60 OFFICIAL BULLETIN
International Vice President Craig Carlson, International Representative Benjamin Hague, Local 2 Vice President Frank Taylor, Local 18 Business Manager Tom Gergerich and President Mike Griebl, and IT Administrator Jimmy Rainey. months—worked tirelessly along with the dedicated officers of Local 18 to win a representation election and negotiate an inaugural collective bargaining agreement at Fiserv. At the outset of the campaign, President Loeb defined the mission in one sentence, “All stagehands who worked Bradley Center and now crew Fiserv Forum must be covered by a Local 18 Agreement and offered membership”. Against the backdrop of a video showing the diverse workers at Fiserv as they were sworn into membership/received their Local 18 membership cards, Vice President Carlson stated: n Due to the courage of over 100 stagehands, seen on the screen, who entrusted us to represent them in a bottom up organizational effort with an NLRB election; n Due to the brave leadership of Local 18’s Business Manager and President Tom Gergerich and Mike Griebl, respectively, who acknowledged these stagehands as brothers and sisters who exercise the skills of the IATSE craft and deserve an area standard agreement with Local 18 Membership; n Due to the hard work of Local 2 Vice-President Frank Taylor who for months led bannering and rally efforts; n Due to International Representative Ben Hague’s tremendous organizing efforts; n Due to Vice President and Stagecraft Department Director Daniel Di Tolla, Assistant Director Joe Hartnett and General Counsel Samantha Dulaney’s encouragement, advice, support and candid guidance; n Due to the former IATSE Political and Legislative Director Erika Dinkel-Smith’s informing Milwaukee’s political leaders and the Democratic National Committee Officials about the IATSE’s campaign for the workers; n And especially, due to President Loeb’s unwavering support in all the above and his complete dedication to this fight; That for all these reasons, Vice President Carlson can proudly report that he and the officers of Local 18 had realized the mission set forth by President Loeb in January of 2018 to organize the Fiserv Forum. Vice President Carlson further advised that more than 120 applicants have been welcomed into Local 18 membership. He thanked General Secretary- Treasurer James B. Wood for processing those applications expeditiously. Vice President Carlson reported that the collective bargaining agreement includes area-standard wages with annual increases, retirement and health contributions, terms and conditions that provide for worker protections and safety. Local 18 Business Manager Gergerich added that in addition to the new members and the new agreement, another excellent point is that all of this happened in Wisconsin—the new incubator for antiworker legislation and attacks. He stated that this organizing drive shows that labor can fight back and achieve great success. He expressed his deep appreciation to Vice President Carlson, Brother Taylor and all the members of Local 2 for “their incredible show of solidarity” with Local 18. Brother Gergerich thanked President Loeb for his stalwart support through the entire process. He advised President Loeb that the response from new and current members was exciting and heartwarming. President Loeb remarked that the Fiserv Forum efforts are “monumental,” observing that because of this campaign, the lives of workers and families will be changed. He stated that our job is to “represent workers.” He noted that Local 18—with the capable assistance of Vice President Carlson, Representative Hague, Brother Taylor and all the mem- THIRD QUARTER 2019 61
