Mean-Spirited Conservative?

I am writing in response to Deanna McGarity’s letter on the “L” word, lib-eralism. Liberalism has given us gay marriage, too many entitlement pro-grams than we can pay for and politicians like Sheila Jackson Lee, whodemands a car and driver be waiting to drive her the two blocks to work inthe morning. Also, politicians like Barney Frank, who is the main culprit inthe subprime loans scandal because he demanded people who weren’t qual-ified get housing loans and could not pay them back. Also, politicians likeCharlie Rangel, who is now under investigation by the ethics committee. Iam a conservative and I do more than my share for fellow citizens butbelieve in personal responsibility. I believe I can spend my earnings betterthan the government and the liberal politicians believe they can spend myearnings better than I can. Does that make me mean-spirited?

Looking Back

Brothers, a belated but well-intentioned thank you for my 60th year cer-tificate. I enjoyed my participation as a trade unionist in furthering the goalsand objectives of the Brotherhood. I spent 11 years as the commissioner oflabor for the State of Minnesota. Many of our labor laws have my finger-prints on them. That is a good feeling.

‘The Brotherhood’

When one enters the Brotherhooda family bond is made,a mutual care and respect,a debt that is never paid.

Whenever you travel for work,on any job that you undertake,there are friends already there,a relationship you need not make.

When someone that you meetto any Local belongs,they are accepted now as a friend,not to be accused of wrongs.

Yes, the IBEW is a family,all 'Brothers' are just that,they are always a source of help,and happy that they are where it's at.

2 IBEW JOURNAL, WINTER 2009

ne day before his inauguration, millionsof Americans answered PresidentBarack Obama’s call to greater serviceand responsibility to their communities,volunteering to help fellow citizens.A federal government group that talliesMartin Luther King Jr.

Day service efforts reports thatmore than 12,000 projects tookplace, doubling 2008’s total.Obama’s call to greater responsibility

didn’t reach everyone. In Newark, Ohio,Atlanta-based Acuity Brands Inc. pro-ceeded with plans to shut down its Holo-phane-brand lighting manufacturing plantin February, putting 102 members ofLocal 1853 out of work. Acuity Brands isno hardship case. The company declared2008 fourth quarter operating profits of$73.7 million, up 6 percent from 2007.This unfortunately is not an isolated

case. Executives of some troubled finan-cial firms are busy spending taxpayer-funded bailout payments on chauffeursand stock options, while thousands oftheir employees hit the streets in the latestround of downsizing. Citibank had to bepublicly embarrassed out of spending $50million on a new corporate jet.New rules require new leaders who

truly appreciate the contribution of work-ers to our society. I am heartened by theappointment of Rep. Hilda L. Solis (D-Calif.) as Secretary of Labor. The daughterof a Teamster and a Rubber worker, Solishelped lead a statewide referendum to raise the minimumwage and has strongly supported our locals and our nation’sworking families. As of this writing, Republicans were stillholding up the Solis nomination because of her support forthe policies favorable to labor.And after eight years of a National Labor Relations Board

that has enabled companies to sidetrack unions and work-ers’ rights, President Obama has appointed a chairwoman,Wilma Liebman, who understands the need for a level play-

ing field between labor and management.The longest-serving member of the NLRB, Liebman was

appointed by President Clinton in 1997. For the past eightyears she has patiently defended the rights of workers againstthe board’s anti-worker majority. Upon her appointment, Lieb-man said, “the statute [National Labor Relations Act] we admin-ister is the foundation of America’s commitment to humanrights recognized around the world.”

I couldn’t agree more with PresidentObama who said, in his inaugural address“…A nation cannot prosper long when itfavors only the prosperous…”But it will take more than even the best

federal appointees to turn the corner on theanti-labor climate of the past eight years.We must now tap the same grassroots

political organizing that has effectivelyopposed many of the backward policiesof the last eight years to defend our sup-porters in the Obama administration fromany and all politicians—Republicans andDemocrats alike—who would turn thetables back around.It is high time to hold profitable and

powerful corporations to the standard ofservice and responsibility to our commu-nities that is exemplified in the daily livesof so many American workers.This is my last column for the IBEW

Journal, as we will be ceasing publicationof our magazine with this issue. IBEWpublications have evolved since the firstissue was published in 1893. The maga-zine format had been used for about 60years. Our newspaper, The ElectricalWorker will now serve as our flagshippublication and will absorb the featuresthat you have come to look for in theJournal, and will still come to you on a

monthly basis. As the labor movement defends and consoli-dates the gains that we made last November, I am confidentthat The Electrical Worker and our Web site, www.ibew.org,will be equally powerful tools to inform and rally our mem-bership in our common purpose. 1

IBEW JOURNAL, WINTER 2009 3

Weathering theCrisishen I took office after the retirementof my predecessor JonWalters lastyear, the economic downturn wasonly just beginning and our benefitfunds were still riding high, thanks toprudent investing and a still-boomingconstruction market.

Since then, the consequences of thecollapse brought on by real estate specula-tors, hedge-fund managers and other high-flyers have grown more dire. Instead ofinvesting in things like long-term financialsecurity, building the middle class or pro-jects that create good jobs and expandeconomic opportunity, Wall Street spent itstime thinking up complicated financialinstruments—often little more thanupdated Ponzi schemes—that confoundedstock holders and regulators alike.Our financial managers stayed out of

the Wall Street racket, preferring to stick tothe fundamentals. Prudent and diversifiedinvestment that minimized risk while allow-ing the National Electrical Benefit Fund tosee stable and steady growth. And throughprograms like the Project Millennium initia-tive, we invested in projects that wouldmaximize our returns in blue chip realestate while helping to create jobs forIBEW and other building trades members.Since 2000, the program has created 20 mil-lion man-hours of work for our members.But since then the magnitude of the

economic collapse has grown substantially,leaving almost no pension plan, 401(k) or investment funduntouched, including the National Electrical Benefit Fund, fromwhich many members’ pensions are drawn.The hard truth is that no matter how responsible and effi-

cient we are when it comes to investing, we are never totallyimmune from the financial irresponsibility of others—espe-cially when it reaches the size and scope of the current crisis.Our funds are feeling the pinch, but as many attendees

brought up at the Employee Benefits conference in January,we’ve seen ups and down in the market—some catastrophic—and we’ve successfully navigated through them.

I can’t predict what will happen in the economy or onCapitol Hill, and in the long run our fund’s viability is depen-dent on how quickly we can pull our country out of recessionand get the economy moving again.While there is much that is out of our hands, there is no rea-

son to panic. We are responding to the crisis with fresh think-ing and decisive action. We continue to streamline our programthrough tools like the ERTS program, which will implement 100

percent electronic transactions for all reci-procity payments this year, fully bringingour program in the 21st century.We will also continue with our national

401(k) plan. 2008 may have been a prettybad year for 401(k)’s but as one confer-ence participant put it: “Markets might beup or down, but it’s always a good time tostart saving.”And we will continue to offer the

broadest array of tools to help localtrustees make it through the crises, helpingyou do your job better.The culture of financial irresponsibility

found on both Wall Street and Capitol Hillreiterates why our work on the ground toelect leaders like President Barack Obamawho are committed to reigning in theexcesses of the last decade was so impor-tant. I was there with President Hill towatch President Obama’s inaugural speechand we were both moved by his call for anew era of responsibility and service.Responsibility and service have defined

our Brotherhood’s attitude toward manag-ing your hard-earned investments in yourfuture since our fund’s founding more than80 years ago.My job as trustee is not about playing

the market or making high risk gambles with your money; it’sabout protecting benefits that our members have counted onfor generations to raise them and their families into a betterlife—in flush times and bad.I’m hopeful that we can minimize our losses and steer our-

selves back on track by using every opportunity to save moneyand promote efficiency, guaranteeing the financial security youexpect and deserve after a life of hard work. 1

Three years ago, the managers at Mil-bank considered outsourcing a portionof its operations overseas. While theircompetitors took advantage of off-shoring, all of Milbank’s production wasbased in the United States in five plants.Two are IBEW plants: one in El Dorado,Ark. is represented by Local 2284; theother, in Concordia, Mo., was organizedby Local 124 in 2006 and signed its firstcontract in 2007. Milbank’s facilities inKansas City, Mo., and Kokomo, Ind., arerepresented by the United Steelworkers

and the Sheet Metal Workers Interna-tional Association, respectively.

Ultimately Milbank decided it couldimprove its procedures and becomeeven more competitive while remainingin the U.S.

“IBEW members have contributed toMilbank’s success. They understand thecompany’s need to be profitable andcompetitive in the market,” said TenthDistrict International Vice PresidentBobby Klein.

IBEW members at Milbank have been

energized through the company’s new“lean” philosophy. Since implementing arelated waste reduction program threeyears ago, IBEW members have savedthe company $12 million a year. Thelean philosophy has led members at Mil-bank to re-evaluate the way they previ-ously worked and make changes to theassembly process. IBEW members havebeen able to respond to customer’sneeds more rapidly and reliably.

“You often hear about union shopsand how difficult it can be to implementchanges in such situations, but as peoplebecame more engaged and the unionsaw that we were committed to keepingjobs in the U.S., they jumped on boardand now we have a fantastic relationshipwith them,” said Milbank Chief ExecutiveLavon Winkler in a recent article in atrade publication, detailing the com-pany’s strategies to increase productionand decrease waste.

In the midst of the current economicdownturn, members at Milbank haveagreed to 32-hour work weeks for ashort period until business picks upagain. “They do everything they can tomake sure business remains as close tosteady as possible and are always look-ing for new customers,” said Tenth Dis-trict International Representative DaleMcCoy, who services the Local 2284members at Milbank’s El Dorado plant.

The 140 members at the Concordia,Mo., facility who reached their first con-tract agreement last year have created apartnership committee that includes cor-porate and plant management and Local124 representatives.

“The goal is that every decision madein the plant is a result of a joint effortbetween the local and the management,”said B.Z. Parscale, Local 124 businessrepresentative.

“Lean helps to ensure that jobs stay inthe U.S. by cutting out as much waste aspossible,” said Shirl Gibson, Milbankteam leader and Local 2284 financial sec-retary. “When there is little waste, thecompany is profitable and as a result theplant stays open.”

IBEW members have been flexible indealing with changes in the processesthey have used for years. “The membersdeserve the credit. They’ve had the abil-

Members are frequently given theopportunity to participate in meetings toinvestigate potential problems andopportunities, come up with strategies tofix them and examine ways to eliminateunnecessary steps.

“It has been a joint effort between thelocal and Milbank. The local has beenable to sit down with Milbank manage-ment as equal partners and walk awayfrom the table knowing that their issueshave been addressed,” McCoy said.

“We’re real proud of the fact thatwe’ve done this while keeping jobs inthe U.S. and we’ve done it with an all-union work force,” said Winkler. 1

CHICAGO BROADCAST AND CONSTRUCTION LOCALS BUILD NEW TV STUDIOS

Planning the construction of a new TVstation is a trial of technological savvyand vision. But for John Trautschold,shop steward in Chicago’s radio, televi-sion broadcasting Local 1220, who super-vised the relocation of CBS/WBBM fromits historic location—where John F.Kennedy and Richard Nixon squared offin the first televised presidential debate—to its modern quarters, the project wasalso a test of diplomacy and union soli-darity.

For several months, says WBBMVice President of Operations Tom Sch-necke, employees were producing anews product while training on newequipment. While there wasn’t a lot oflegacy knowledge on making such amove, Schnecke is proud of the workerswho weighed in on the design of thenew studio.

Strained relationships between Local1220 and inside construction Chicago Local 134 over juris-dictional issues could have put a drag on the project’s suc-cess, says Jim Sterne, Local 1220 business representative.

While there is a clear line between thework traditionally performed by Local134 and the work in control rooms thatresides with Local 1220 members, thereis some overlap.

“Everything was done union and wegot the job done on time,” says RichMurphy, Local 134 business agent, whomet with Trautschold early on in the pro-ject to discuss where the lines would bedrawn. “I can’t say enough about thewonderful cooperation we got fromLocal 134.”

Located in the “loop” of elevatedtracks across from Macy’s departmentstore, formerly Marshall Field’s,WBBM’s new location is an all-digitalhigh definition facility with a street-levelstudio looking out on Daley Plaza, itsworld-famous “Chicago Picasso” sculp-ture and City Hall.

WBBM’s old quarters was built in the1920s after the great Chicago fire. Once the premier newschannel in Chicago, WBBM was home to Bill Kurtis (CBSMorning News, American Justice), who broke the news storyabout the sickness caused by Agent Orange. The station alsohosted the Phil Donahue Show and film critic Gene Siskel.

It was unusual for a union member to be involved indesigning facilities and ordering equipment, says Trautschold,who has been doing some design work for 15 years. Whilehe continues to represent about 70 staff members, fromtechnical directors to audio operators, photographers and edi-tors, Trautschold hopes that his performance will convincebroadcast managers in other locales to reap the rewards thatcome from assigning bargaining unit members to workbeyond their traditional responsibilities.

Trautschold helped to map out moves to high-definition TVat two stations in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, says Sch-necke, praising the industry veteran for years of service. 1

IBEW members continueto push further into thegrowing solar sector,netting a major projectlabor agreement forclean energy initia-tives and establishingtraining for green col-lar jobs of the futurefrom coast to coast.

Diamond Bar, Calif.,Local 47 agreed in August toa massive project labor agreementwith Southern California Edison to putsolar panels atop city buildings to pumpenergy into the electrical grid. In thelargest project of its kind ever attempted,Edison looks to install 250 megawattsworth of solar-capturing technology onsouthern California commercial rooftopswithin the next four years—enoughenergy to power tens of thousands ofhomes.

“I can remember when people wouldtalk about solar energy like it was a pipedream,” said Local 47 Business ManagerPat Lavin, who represents the SeventhDistrict on the International ExecutiveCouncil. “But you see the technologybecoming more viable and greater possi-bilities opening up. As the country triesto limit its dependence on foreign oil,projects like these are pointing us in theproper direction, and our members areright on top of it.”

When completed, IBEW labor willhave covered 65 million square feet ofrooftops with photovoltaic arrays. Of theprojected $875 million that Edison willspend on the project over the next fewyears, nearly 30 percent will be in laborcosts.

The agreement between the local andEdison positions Lavin as a go-betweenfor the company and the 17 IBEW locals

in the 16 counties where thecompany plans to expandits solar reach. By shar-ing their solar trainingfacilities with oneanother, the arrange-ment between thelocals will also helpensure that cutting-

edge training and tech-nology is widespread.“The brother locals in

southern California work hand inhand with each other to ensure the bestresults,” said San Bernardino Local 477Business Manager John Brown. Heemphasized that locals with solar train-ing programs will reach out to those thatdo not in order to ensure quality photo-voltaic installation.

“Working together, we can look for-ward to many positive changes with thesolar technology,” Brown said. “Not onlywill our air be cleaner, but we’re grow-ing good-paying union jobs for peoplecoming into the industry.”

On the opposite coast, Montpelier,Vt., Local 300 is looking skyward aswell. The local announced in Octoberthe opening of the state’s first year-roundsolar training program to teach workershow to install photovoltaic systems. Theprogram was launched with $100,000 ingrants and donations from the state’sDepartment of Labor Workforce Educa-tion and Training program andsignatory contractorEntergy Nuclear.Nearly 200 IBEWmembers at Entergy’sVermont Yankee plantwork to provide a third ofthe state’s energy.

The local plans to train at least32 members annually at its new

state-of-the-art facility in nearby SouthBurlington. There, they will get hands-on experience with three new solartraining arrays and learn photovoltaicdesign and installation fundamentals.Local 300 hosted an open house inDecember highlighting the facility.

Like Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger inCalifornia, Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas hasdeclared a goal of significantly increasingthe state’s reliance on clean energy tech-nologies. Schwarzenegger hopes thatgreen power will account for 20 percentof California’s energy by 2010, and Dou-glas signed a bill last year aiming to gen-erate 25 percent of his state’s energy withrenewable resources by 2025.

With Local 300’s new training center,Business Manager Jeffrey Wimette saidthe IBEW can better help the state reachthat goal. And, as word of mouth hasspread about the local’s new solar pro-gram, it’s also becoming an effectiveorganizing tool.

“We’re getting a lot of calls fromnonunion electricians and people fromoutside the state who are interested inthe solar training,” Wimette said. “So notonly are we helping create a better envi-ronment, but we’re making ourselvesmore visible in the field. This will likelybring more and more members into theBrotherhood when they realize the skillsthey can learn from our programs andapply them in today’s job climate.” 1

In addition, theyhelp rebuild local school playgroundsthrough a partnership with United Way.And the committee helps repair electricalwork in homes for underprivileged fami-lies each year.

“We’re fortunate to have a goodcareer and make a decent wage. The

Community Services Committee is a wayfor us to give back. We like to getinvolved. It’s good volunteer work andthat’s why the committee has beenaround for the last 30 years,” said JohnMarfia, chairman of the Local 3 NorthCommunity Services Committee.

“A lot of times small schools like thisget overlooked, but we really appreciatehow much effort Local 3 put forth inproviding toys for our students,” saidConroy.

With more than 100 toys donated,each child at the pre-school received atoy and the rest were distributed amongthe various classrooms at the school.“We do a lot of things for the commu-nity. If we find out that someone is inneed, we have a meeting and bring it toeveryone’s attention. We then donatetime or goods with the approval of thelocal,” said Kevin Broderick, CommunityServices Committee member.

Local 3 North has participated in“Toys for Tots” since 1947.

“The most important thing is the kids.The kids are happy and have big smileson their faces,” said Broderick. 1

N.Y. Local 3 members donate toys toarea children every year.

This is a summary of the annualreport for the International Brother-hood of Electrical Workers PensionBenefit Fund, (Employer IdentificationNo. 52-0951104, Plan No. 001) for theperiod July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008.The annual report has been filed withthe Employee Benefits SecurityAdministration, as required under theEmployee Retirement Income SecurityAct of 1974 (ERISA).

Basic Financial StatementBenefits under the plan are provided

by a trust (benefits are provided inwhole from trust funds). Plan expenseswere $117,848,391. These expensesincluded $10,892,056 in administrativeexpenses and $106,956,335 in benefitspaid to participants and beneficiaries. Atotal of 446,452 persons were partici-pants in or beneficiaries of the plan atthe end of the plan year, although not allof these persons had yet earned theright to receive benefits.

The value of plan assets, after sub-tracting liabilities of the plan was$1,817,650,443 as of June 30, 2008,compared to $1,975,154,401 as of July1, 2007.

Washington State University in Vancouver this fall.“Christina takes ownership in everything she

does,” says Local 970 Business Manager DavidMyers. “Our local is constantly changing and sheis always on the front line contributing excellentideas that better both our local and our appren-ticeship program, sometimes volunteering two orthree days a week.”

“I’ve had a goal for many years to get a bach-elor’s degree, and over the years, I’ve taken afew classes here and thereas I could afford them,”says Daniels, an 18-yearIBEW member. “Now,thanks to the scholarship, Ican go full time and get itdone!”

Members of Rock Island, Ill.,Local 145 hit the jackpot witha project labor agreement towire the new Jumer’s Casinoand Hotel on the outskirts ofthe city. Electrical work onthe $151 million complexbegan in May 2007, giving thelocal’s journeymen andapprentices steady hours andvaluable experience inthe area’s largest commer-cial construction projectin recent memory.

“This is easily the largest andmost challenging project I’ve evertaken part in,” said Local 145 jour-neyman wireman Ken Holgate,electrical project superintendent forthe site. Located near the Mississippiriver divide between Rock Islandand Davenport, Iowa, Jumer’sboasts impressive amenities: five floors,205 rooms, more than 1,000 slotmachines, 24 table games, an indoor pool,restaurants and other attractions. Morethan 70 Local 145 wiremen and data tech-nicians installed 142 miles of cable toenergize the elaborate complex, whichopened its doors in December.

“Perfecting the lighting fixtures alonewas a mind-bending process,” Holgatesaid, referencing the intricate LED systemthat rivals locales on the Las Vegas strip.“This is the kind of dazzling display thatyou’d usually only see in Nevada.”

With 100 percent of the labor pro-vided by union workers, the two-yearproject tested the knowledge and qualityof craft that instructors teach and appren-tices learn at the nearby Quad City Elec-trical Training Center in Moline. Holgate,42, entered the trade two decades agothrough the Quad City program and has

seen it grow into a state-of-the-art facilityfor electrical education.

“Between training at Quad City andworking on Jumer’s, men and women justbeginning in the trade get a firsthandexperience of the challenges and excite-ment that you see doing electrical work,”Holgate said.

Already a renowned training facility inthe region, Quad City recently added a3,000-square-foot room where studentspractice pipe bending, wire work andcraft certification tasks. The local publicityfrom the Jumer’s construction, mixed witha ramped up $120,000 ad campaign forQuad City’s programs, is piquing interestamong men and women curious about acareer in the trade. Since the beginning ofthe project, and with Quad City’s recentad push, the training center is drawing ahigher number of qualified applicants—many with some college background and

others who are nonunion workers look-ing to boost their knowledge and earningpotential.

“The Jumer’s project is a great way tospotlight our program to the public,” saidMike Ellison, former Local 145 orga-nizer and training director at Quad

City. “People see that IBEW members areactive in a challenging industry, and thatwe complete tasks ahead of schedule andunder budget. My goal with the Quad Cityprogram and the media attention towardJumer’s is for people to think, ‘If I want tobecome an electrician, Quad City is theroute to go.’ We have recently set upcareer days at area high schools, and thestudents have displayed a real interest.”

Many of the workers on the Jumer’sproject pulled double duty either asinstructors or students at Quad City. Local145 member David Aguirre worked asforeman for electricians installing powerto Jumer’s heating and cooling system.Like many other site supervisors, Aguirretaught students at Quad City when hewasn’t on the job site.

“I have always gotten a sense of satis-faction out of what I do in the trade,”Aguirre said. “I try to instill that in my stu-dents—whether on a massive project likeJumer’s or in the classroom at Quad City.”

But the street name—New Hope Cir-cle—was a prescient sign of things tocome.

“I enjoyed building the first home somuch and working with the other volun-teers, I thought, ‘Hey, why can’t we domore?’” Anderson said. “A lot of people inthe area are looking for decent housing,with the economy in such a sorry state.”

So for the past two years, Andersonhas helped spearhead the construction of17 more homes on New Hope Circle—mostly townhouses with two to five bed-rooms—which are scheduled for

completion by the end of February. Withhis trade expertise and organizing skills,

Anderson has helped more than 60 adultsand children move into well-built houses,raising the quality of living for the fami-lies and involving his IBEW brothers andsisters in the process.

Since the New Hope project tookflight, more than 20 IBEW membersunder Anderson’s direction have donatedmore than $100,000 in labor to wire thehomes.

“Anytime Habitat for Humanity can’tget volunteers to do certain tasks, theyhire out professionals,” Anderson said.“Someone with no experience can comeonto a job site the first day and put upsome studs or sheetrock—but doing qual-ity, safe residential wiring is another story.”

Stevens and his crew have completedall the wiring for the houses on theblock. “Labor is our biggest expense, soit’s been invaluable for the organizationand the families living here to haveSteven’s group,” said Habitat for Human-ity Project Manager Mel Cunningham.

Part of that group included a handfulof women electricians from the local—who Anderson called “tough as nails on

Habitat started the initiative to helpbring women into the construction workforce, which is about 85 percent male.Another consistent crew was a group oflongtime Local 46 members who wereinvigorated by Anderson’s motivation andvolunteered on a regular basis. New resi-dents and their families also work on thesite, with mortgage holders completing atleast 400 hours of “sweat equity” on theirfuture homes.

“Many new homeowners expressedtheir gratitude to us—they knew that thelabor would have been expensive if thelocal hadn’t donated,” said journeymanwireman Dave Peterson, one of Ander-son’s Saturday morning regulars sinceearly 2007. “Plus it was a chance to

improve our skills, since residential workis a lot different from the commercialwork we do every day.”

While many new residents arefrom the Bremerton area, two fami-lies are from Kurdistan and one isfrom Iran. Homeowner KhalitMohammed said his family left Kur-distan in 1988 fleeing war andsevere hardships. “Applyingfor a house through Habitatwas a great decision andbrought us much relief.Having a home of ourown is such a blessingto our family.”

With the currentmomentum he hashelped generate, Ander-son looks forward to

bringing even more IBEWmembers to help completethe project and volunteer forambitious Habitat ventures inthe future.

“My New Year’s resolutionwas to get more volunteersout,” Anderson said. “Thisproject—it’s made a differentperson out of me. I want peo-ple to see the positive impactthat IBEW members can makein their communities. There’stremendous potential.”

Gordon Rowe has heard all thejokes about glowing in the dark.

Still, this Augusta, Ga., Local 1579member knows that during the 16 yearshe worked at the Department of Energy’sSavannah River site and the PortsmouthGaseous Diffusion plant, he was workingaround some very dangerous material.

He was working around nuclearweapons.

Maintenance, repair and new con-struction go on daily at sites that buildnuclear weapons, so construction work-ers are there, just doing their jobs. But inthe time they are on a site—whether afew days or years—they may be exposedto incredibly harmful substances, such asberyllium. Electricians may know it as alightweight but hard metal that’s easy toshape and a good conductor of heat andelectricity. It’s used in aerospace parts,semi-conductor chips, nuclear reactor fuelrods—and nuclear weapons.

Performing maintenance or demolitionwhere beryllium was used can disturbberyllium dust on floors, in ceiling tiles,or on pipes. Inhaling that dust can make

a person sick within a month or 30years—from bumps on skin and woundsthat don’t heal to constant coughing,shortness of breath, chest pain, coughingup blood, night sweats, loss of appetite,and rapid heartbeats.

Those are the symptoms of chronicberyllium disease, a treatable, but incur-able, disease. Beryllium also can causelung cancer. There’s no way to tell who

will be affected or howthey will be affectedby beryllium dust. Butif you’ve worked at aDOE site with nuclearweapons, it is best to

be tested for

beryllium and other hazardous materials.Rowe knows. Not only did he get

tested with a free screening through theBuilding Trades National Medical Screen-ing Program, he now helps run its out-reach office for construction workers whohave worked at the Savannah River site.

“Any construction worker who was ona Department of Energy site that involvednuclear weapons needs a screening—evenif you worked just one day,” says Rowe.Beryllium is not the only problem. Work-ers may have been exposed to asbestos,cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, radia-tion, silica and other health hazards.

Most of these exposures happenedyears ago when the government was notas forthcoming about the health hazardsconstruction workers might face. But manyof these health problems can lay dor-mant—or go undetected and undiagnosed.

“The efforts of the Building Tradesand the Center for Construction Research& Training have helped a tremendousnumber of construction workers findthings they didn’t know they had,” saysRowe. When a health problem related totheir DOE work is identified, these work-ers may be eligible for compensation and

a medical benefit to helpcover the costs associatedwith their treatment.

The free medical screenings offeredat the covered sites listed on the map (atright) are run by the building trades pro-gram. Screenings include a work historyinterview and a medical exam.

First, a specially trained buildingtrades worker, such as Rowe, or anotherwork site expert, conducts a work historyinterview to determine what exposures tohazardous material the former workermay have had and the types of illnessesthat could result. “It’s been a rewardingexperience for me since I worked outthere, too, so I know how uninformedwe were about the hazards of the workwe did,” Rowe said.

Then comes the freemedical screening examination to test forillnesses that may have developed fromexposure risks, as well as other unrelatedhealth problems. Following the exam, theworker receives a letter indicating anymedical findings and identifies those thatcould be work-related.

“The program does a very in-depthjob,” says Rowe. “The exam is remarkablythorough, and the information I receivedwas very helpful. It definitely mademe more aware of all the hazards that

were out there.”Screening participants

who discovered DOE work-related health issues may apply for gov-ernment-funded benefits for treatment byfiling a claim with the U.S. Department ofLabor under the Energy Employees Occu-pational Illness Compensation ProgramAct. This program offers workers medicalcoverage for the illness from the date theclaim was filed and a lump-sum payment.

Although the process was lengthy,says Rowe, he recently had his claimapproved for his work at Portsmouth. “Ittook three years,” he says, “but I finallygot compensated.” 1

The names of the publica-tions may have changed but themission has always remained thesame.

“We are proud of the morethan 100 years of IBEW laborjournalism represented by theJournal and we plan to continueour union’s tradition of pioneer-ing labor communications in theElectrical Worker and on theInternet,” International PresidentEdwin D. Hill said following theofficers’ decision in February tocease publication of the magazine. Follow-ing this issue, the Electrical Worker willcarry on the IBEW’s print tradition.

Production costs and a much longerpublication design timeline helped con-vince the officers to eliminate the quarterlyJournal in favor of the more nimble Elec-trical Worker. Plus the sheer cost of mail-ing 16 publications a year could not be

justified in today’s economic environment.While many unions have either elimi-

nated their print publications or greatlyreduced their frequency, the IBEW standsout in its commitment to maintaining amonthly newspaper, the ElectricalWorker.

Many of the longer, more in-depth fea-tures that typically appear in the Journal

will find their way into the pages of theElectrical Worker, continuing the IBEW’scommitment to an informative and timelyprint publication. All of the other featuresin the Journal, including retiree Local Linesand In Memoriam, will now be printed in

the Electrical Worker.The Media Department will

also continue to expand theIBEW’s presence on the Internet,adding more timely and break-ing coverage and analysis,including more videos, to theIBEW blog—www.ibew.org.

“In an increasingly wiredworld where many of ourmembers now turn to Web sitesand blogs for the latest newsand information, it’s vital thatthe IBEW’s communication pro-gram has a strong online pres-

ence.” said Media Department DirectorJim Spellane.

The IBEW’s first publication was titledthe Electrical Worker in 1893, paid for byan extra 25-cent dues assessment. Thefirst run was 5,000 copies.

On the inside cover of the first issuewas the iconic photo of the 10 foundingdelegates to the IBEW’s first convention.

Since the first issue of the Electrical Worker rolled off the press

in 1893, IBEW publications have given electrical workers across

North America a voice while keeping them informed of the lat-

est developments in their own industry.

The first issue of the Electrical Worker setthe goals for the new publication.

“At the convention of theNational Brotherhood of ElectricalWorkers recently held in Chicago,it was decided to publish a journaldevoted to the interests of the

electrical workers and the electricalindustry … The Electrical Worker,edited and published by men whohave devoted the best years of theirlives in the hazardous work of theircraft, who understand the needs and

requirements of the electricalworkers, will be a fearless championof their rights and ever watchful

of their interests.”—The Electrical Worker,

January 1893

When the United States entered WorldWar I in April 1917, the IBEW, along with themajority of the American Federation of Labor,supported the nation’s war efforts, but in aneditorial questioned if the war—waged underthe banner of spreading democracy—wouldlead to expanded freedoms at home, includ-ing the right to freely organize.

“Shall this war be for democracyat home as well as abroad?

Shall the United States engagein the war … and emerge from it

with its citizens freer than they everhave been, with social and industrial

justice more securely foundedthan they ever have been?”—The Journal of Electrical Workers and

Operators, May 1917

As the 1920s dawned, employers launcheda nationwide movement to drive organizedlabor from most work places. They called itthe “open shop” movement, and the IBEWled a public fight against it.

An average issue from the first decadefeatured a column from American Federa-tion of Labor founder Samuel Gompersexpounding on the importance of unionshaving a strong dues structure—a novelideal at the time—an article about a pro-posed bill in New York state to licenseelectricians and letters from locals fromaround the country—the earliest appear-ance of Local Lines.

The first issues were put out by Inter-national Secretary James T. Kelly and hisstenographer Mary Honzik. Kelly basedthe design on a popular electrical indus-try weekly, the Electrical World, saidInternational Representative and IBEWArchivist Mike Nugent.

Electrical Worker issues articulated theconcerns of electrical workers, whichwere often drowned out by the power ofgilded-age newspaper bosses, whilekeeping members updated on the latestdevelopments in the early days of theelectrification of North America.

Throughout IBEW history, the publica-tion has gone through many namechanges. In 1915 it was renamed theJournal of Electrical Workers and Opera-tors to represent the growing number ofmembers working for telephone compa-nies. It became the Electrical Workers’Journal in the 1950s, and was renamedthe IBEW Journal by the 1970s.

When the IBEW conceived themonthly Electrical Worker newspaper in2007, it used the name and mastheadinspired by the original publication.

While our world has drasticallychanged in the 118-year history of theIBEW, certain commonalities havealways run through the pages of its pub-lications. Each issue sought to keepmembers informed of the latest in elec-trical technology and offered safety tips.Each issue sought to inform members onthe goings on in Washington andemphasized the importance of politicalaction by labor. And each issue featuredLocal Lines, giving voice to each localunion.

It’s a tradition of labor journalism thatwill continue in the years to come, bothin print and in the virtual world of theInternet. “As long as there are electricalworkers, they will find their voice in thepublications of the IBEW,” Hill said. 1

“In the early 1900’s, theantagonists of labor, to mislead

the public, invented the expressionof “closed shop.” When strippedof its pretense the so-called open

shop is the closed shop because it isclosed to any measure of democratic

action by the workers.

They can take the jobs under thecondition fixed by the employeror go jobless. This is where theemployees are dealt with as

individuals and are voiceless, andwhere the cruel fiction is kept alivethat neither union nor non-unionworkers are discriminated against,but where the union or non-union

workers never receive fair treatment.

The union shop is not a closedshop. It is open to all who are

competent and who are not shirkers.It is void of friction, and the workers’representatives meet the employer

on a common ground.”—Journal of Electrical Workers

and Operators, April 1922

The IBEW mobilized all its resources in sup-port of President Franklin Roosevelt’s re-elec-tion efforts in 1936, predicting in the pages ofthe Journal that he would be considered byhistory as one of America’s great presidents.

“A four-year term is only anhour in the life of a great nation.Franklin Roosevelt is capable of along view. He has qualities of

lasting greatness.”—The Journal of Electrical Workers and

Operators, October 1936

IBEW members installed 95 percent of theelectrical work used for military purposes inWorld War II. Their labor was particularlyvital in the shipyards where they helped buildthe ships that would win the war.

“A new program to build65,000 naval vessels calls for theworkers of our nation to set sailagain. The program calls for theintelligence, skill, industry, brains

and brawn of approximately 34,000contractors and hundreds of

thousands of employees. But labordoesn’t shrink from the task, for

labor knows that the success of theinvasions in which the ships will beused, depends on the sweat putinto their construction and thesooner they are built the sooner

this war will be over.”—The Journal of Electrical Workers and

Operators, April 1944

Television became a mass phenomenon inthe 1950s and the IBEW was increasinglyactive in attempts to organize workers in thegrowing industry.

“TV’s tremendous growthin recent years has been bothbeneficial and a handicap to theIBEW. It has been beneficial

because of the job opportunitieswhich have opened up for memberswho have suffered in the decline inradio employment—and a handicapbecause of the tremendous influx ofworkers in the industry who requireorganization and service … however,

this TV industry is here to stay,and here to grow.”

present and the future—which canbe theirs if only they have acquired

the skills and the training.”—The Electrical Workers’ Journal,

The 1970s saw increasing numbers ofcheap foreign imports and the decline of themanufacturing sector. The IBEW used thepages of the Journal to encourage membersto buy products with the union label.

“Today with so many foreignimports causing thousands and

thousands of workers to lose theirjobs in many industries—electronics,

shoes, leather goods, pottery,clothing, steel, electrical appliances,and many others—take a good hardlook for that union label and check

your spending.”—IBEW Journal, September 1975

The election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 sawthe beginnings of a strong nationwide anti-labor offensive and the IBEW Journal remainedone of the strongest voices in defense of orga-nized labor throughout the decade.

“Ever since the ReganAdministration gained control

of the White House and fosteredsupply-side economics on the nationas a policy to balance the budget,while using unemployment and

high interest rates to cure inflation …the AFL-CIO and its affiliateshave strongly objected to

supply-side policies.

Any system that does not promote afull employment economy simplycannot do the job of moving the

economy out of the recessiontowards a full recovery.”

—IBEW Journal, March 1983

The overall decline in IBEW membershipand the rise of powerful nonunion contractorsled the IBEW to launch the Construction Orga-nizing Membership Training program(COMET) in 1990 to encourage local leadersand rank-and-file members to reach out tononunion electricians.

“The message of the COMET isthat organizing enables local unionsto win better wages and benefitsfor our members. The COMET

challenges participants to reexaminethe underlying philosophy and

mission of our union: to raise theconditions of life and labor of allelectrical workers and reject the

distorted view that the union’s onlygoal is to protect the entitlement ofcurrent members. … Our futuredepends on our ability to organize

all electricians, and with themembers’ support successful

“No one will ever forget wherehe or she was on September 11,2001, a new day that will live in

THE ROAD TO

IBEW’s 8-Point Plan to Revive the Economyand Get America Working Again

Our experience tells us that simplyasking for change is hardly ever effec-tive. President Barack Obama askedAmericans in his victory speech to“…Summon a new spirit of patrio-tism; of service and responsi-bility where each of usresolves to pitch in andwork harder and lookafter not only ourselves,but each other.”

In the followingpages, we discuss some ofthe pivotal challenges facingour members—challenges thatwill only be resolved when weidentify real solutions, make our voicesheard, pitch in and work harder.

Pass the EmployeeFree Choice Act“It’s about time that we have a presi-dent who doesn’t choke on

the word ‘union,’” PresidentObama said during the2008 campaign.

The Chamber ofCommerce and anti-union groups that arespending $200 millionto defeat the EmployeeFree Choice Act are hop-

ing that not just Obama—but the new Democratic-led

Congress—will choke on theirsupport for this bill, which would removesome of the obstacles for workers in

search of better pay, enhanced benefitsand a voice on the job.

The Employee Free Choice Act does-n’t just matter for workers who are try-ing to form a union. When moreworkers are in unions, workers havethe strength in numbers they need todemand good wages and good benefitsacross communities and industries. Thathelps all workers bargain for better con-tracts and counterbalances corporatepower.

The Employee Free Choice Act will:� Put real teeth in the laws that are

supposed to bar companies fromintimidating, harassing—even fir-ing—workers who want to formunions.

� Allow workers to form their unionwhen a majority signs cards indicat-ing that’s what they desire.

� Require arbitration to end corporatefoot-dragging when workers try toget a first contract.

Anti-labor politicians are saying thatthis bill would hurt economic recoveryefforts. Dean Baker, co-director of theCenter for Economic and PolicyResearch, says the opposite is morelikely. “If workers are able to form

A new administration and a new Congress have arrived inWashington with the hopes of America weighing heavilyon their backs. IBEW members voted their jobs and thefuture of working families in November. We have won agreat victory, but we are still only at the beginning of a longroad to reverse the damage of years of anti-labor policies.The current economic crisis has increased the urgency offundamental change in the direction of our nation.

unions and get their share of productivitygrowth, it can again put the country on apath of wage-driven consumptiongrowth.” The link between expandingunion rights and reversing bad economictimes is a historic one. The NationalLabor Relations Act was enacted duringthe Great Depression in 1933 as part of aplan to stabilize the economy.

Reforming labor law is a matter ofbasic fairness, says IBEW Florida InitiativeCoordinator Jim Rudicil, a lifelong orga-nizer. Only 12 percent of U.S. workersbelong to unions. But polls show thatnearly 60 percent report that they wouldjoin one if given the chance. Under thecurrent system, says Rudicil, an employercan fire workers who exercise their rightsguaranteed under federal labor law, and“the only people that pay a penalty arethe spouse and children of the firedemployee.”

The Green Jobs FutureGreen jobs can play a vital role in both

reducing our carbon footprint and puttingour economy back on the road to recov-ery by creating employment in everythingfrom construction to manufacturing.

A green job is any job that is associatedwith the production and distribution ofrenewable forms of energy and that helpsreduce waste, save power and lower ourdependence on oil. And if we can makesure those jobs come with a decent pay-check and good benefits, the green econ-omy can boost the consumer spendingpower that is necessary to re-boot ournation’s economy.

President Obama has reiterated his callmade on the campaign trail for green jobinvestment. His nearly trillion dollar eco-nomic stimulus package includes a sub-stantial green job component.

Congress has also stepped up invest-ment in green jobs training, authorizingmore than $100 million to train 30,000workers in solar and wind power installa-tion, green building construction and bio-fuel production as part of the Green JobsAct of 2007.

But the expected rapid growth of

those jobs will require tens of thousandsof skilled electricians who can install andwire solar panels, wind turbines and bio-fuel plants, a demand that can best bemet by the IBEW.

“You don’t need to train a separatework force, when you already have ahighly trained pool of electricians whoneed minimal training to become quali-fied solar installers,” said Los AngelesLocal 11 Assistant Business Manager KimCraft.

Already IBEW mem-bers from the construc-tion branch have beentaking the lead in incor-porating solar and windtraining into theirapprenticeship programs.Local 11 set up a solarpower road show in2007 to bring a jointIBEW-NECA solar train-ing program to IBEWmembers across Califor-nia (See “IBEW Taps intothe Power of the Sun,”Fall 2007, IBEW Journal).That same year theNational Joint Apprenticeship and TrainingCommittee published the first guide to theinstallation of commercial and residentialsolar energy systems.

Last year members of Las Vegas Local357 completed work on the largest solarphotovoltaic power system in NorthAmerica for the U.S. Air Force, while inMichigan, three IBEW locals joined forcesto sign new contractors and provide wire-men and linemen to install dozens of280-foot wind turbines.

Despite these initial efforts, mostgreen energy work is still nonunion andanti-union forces are fighting to keep itthat way. For example, the AssociatedBuilders and Contractors has spent over$1 million in lobbying Congress to blockgreen training funds from involvingunions.

Making sure these jobs will be filledby highly skilled and decently paid work-ers involves an active partnership of the

IBEW and NECA contractors with stateand federal leaders along with activetraining programs to make sure the IBEWcontinues to be a leader of the green rev-olution.

The construction side of green powerdoesn’t end with solar and wind installa-tion. Homes, commercial buildings andfactories account for nearly 70 percent ofenergy consumption, leaving a sizeablecarbon footprint. Retrofitting and weather-izing those buildings to make them more

energy efficient—alongwi th bui ld ing new“green” structures thatreduce energy usageand better conserve nat-ural resources—will alsorequire tens of thou-sands of skilled electri-cians.

The Apollo Alliance, acoalition of labor unionsand environmentalists,estimates that every $10billion invested in effi-ciency upgrades wouldtranslate to 100,000 jobs.

Green energy alsoholds out hope for rebuilding the UnitedStates’ manufacturing base, which hasbeen rapidly declining since the 1970s. Inthe past 20 years alone, the IBEW has lostnearly 120,000 manufacturing jobs. Withthe manufacturing sector paying an aver-age of $25,000 more per year than theservice sector, rebuilding the middle classstarts with encouraging the domestic pro-duction of solar cells, biofuel engines,wind turbines, fuel cells and flex-fuelvehicles.

The IBEW has already been makinginroads into green manufacturing (see“Tennessee Members Shine in SolarPanel Plant,” June 2008, the ElectricalWorker), but there are still too manyrenewable energy contractors gettingtheir supplies from overseas. Federal andstate governments need to encouragedomestic producers that pay prevailingwages.

3Wired for the Future:Rebuilding theNational Grid

Our country’s electric grid will requirea massive overhaul in the next few yearsif we want the economy to be both greenand growing.

With the usage of electricity on a con-

tinual increase and most power plantsaveraging 30 years or more of service, thegrid system will require updated genera-tion, transmission and distribution facili-ties in addition to new long-distancetransmission lines that are necessary tomake renewable energy a realistic option.

“If you’re going to green the economy,we’re going to need to build a transmissionsuperhighway to make it happen,” saidUtility Department Director Jim Hunter.

The grid system was built to produceand distribute electricity within a utility’sregional area, not to transmit large powerloads over long distances. But mostsources of renewable energy are gener-ated far away from large population cen-ters—solar energy in the Southwest orwind power in the Great Plains forexample— creating a challenge forutilities on how to get the energy towhere it’s most needed.

“It’s like the connection between theD.C. grid and the Baltimore one is a one-

way dirt road,” Hunter said. “If we wantto get wind power from Montana toChicago, we’re going to need to replace itwith a six-lane highway.”

Green blogger Gar Lipow estimates thatwithout new long-distance transmissionlines, renewable energy will cost twice asmuch as it would with transmission lines inplace, making green power unattractive toboth utilities and consumers.

Rebuilding the electrical grid will be amassive undertaking on a scale similar tothe Highway Act of 1956, which estab-lished the interstate highway system. Theenormous investment of both manpowerand financial resources required torevamp the grid means that the federalgovernment has to take leadership. It cando so by offering incentives for publicand private investments and workingwith state and local authorities to harmo-nize the permitting process for the sitingof new facilities.

Universal, AffordableHealth Care

President Obama supports “affordable,accessible health care for every singleAmerican.” His own personal storyincludes watching his mother haggle withhealth insurance companies as she laydying of cancer. On the campaign trail,Obama became even more convinced thatuniversal health care was long overdue.

Obama’s goal has broad supportacross the nation. Change is long overduein a system that is more expensive thanthose in other industrialized nations whileoffering less coverage. The higher costshere make businesses less competitiveand result in lost jobs.

Over 45 million Americans are withouthealth insurance. According to the KaiserFamily Foundation, for each1 percent rise in thenation’s unem-ployment

rate, one million more Americans will losetheir health insurance. Another million willgo on public programs like Medicaid.

During Congress’ deliberation overloans to the Big Three automakers, thehigh cost of health insurance as a contrib-utory factor to the industry’s competitivepressures was often overlooked.

Comparing the costs of automobileproduction in the U.S. and Canada,Christopher Martin, a professor of journal-ism at the University of Iowa, says, “Theirwork and wages are similar, except that… health benefits for unionizedautoworkers in Canada (which has a pub-lic health care system that evens the play-ing field for all companies) cost $120 percar.” In the same year, says Martin, healthbenefits for Big Three automakers cost$1,500 per car and they’re still rising.

A national debate is taking place oversolutions to the health care crisis. Someare advocating a ‘Medicare for all’ system,which would offer the benefits of thatpopular and effective program to citizensof all ages.

Some favor a “single-payer” systemsimilar to Canada’s, where one entity,either government or one insurance com-pany, covers all citizens from cradle tograve, with both employers and workerspaying into a joint fund. Others see aMassachusetts-type plan.

In Massachusetts, all citizens areforced to buy health insurance exceptthose who are eligible for Medicaid.Employers with 12 or more employeesand citizens who don’t purchase healthinsurance are fined.

“We must be cautious in how we con-struct solutions to the health care crisis,”says International President Edwin D. Hill.The Massachusetts model, for instance,

forces citizens to buy into a plan with veryhigh deductibles. Many cannot afford nec-essary medical procedures. “It’s a Swisscheese plan,” says International Represen-tative John Walsh, who monitors healthcare policy at the International Office. Andsince Bay State employers are only fined$295 per year for each employee theyleave uncovered, many don’t comply.

“The labor movement must cometogether around one health care reformplan, or the insurance companies, thepharmaceutical industry and the for-profithospitals who favor the current systemwill prevail,” says President Hill. “Whenwe have a plan we can agree on, we’llneed a lot of membership participation toget it passed.”

ReverseJob-KillingTradePolicies

President Obama hasspoken out strongly onthe need to establish amore level playing fieldfor workers and smallfarmers in exis t ingand future trade agree-ments. President Obamapledged to stand up toother nations, like China,that manipulate their cur-rencies and leave theUnited States at a competitive disadvan-tage, resulting in factory shutdowns andlost jobs.

Unfair trade policy continues to blockan economic recovery for many workingfamilies. While the financial crisis has dri-ven some responsible employers intobankruptcy, others like Acuity Brands—aprofitable IBEW-organized lighting manu-facturer in Newark, Ohio—are seizing onthe crisis and bad trade policy to sendmore jobs to Mexico and other low-wagehavens. A real recovery demands strongchanges in trade policy.

The IBEW supports policy changesthat would:

� Include labor and environmental stan-dards in future trade agreements.

� Improve Trade Adjustment Assistance

benefits to help workers, includingthose in the service sector, retrain fornew jobs.

� Change the tax code to reward com-panies that stay home rather than out-sourcing jobs.

� Provide for improved inspections ofimports like toys and food, includingU.S. inspectors working on the groundin nations like China.

� Fix NAFTA so that it works for Ameri-can workers.

As with labor rights and health care,unions must press our case with the newCongress to take strong, immediate stepsto enact fair trade policy, or corporateinterests will keep the deck stacked against

us. And we need thenew administration tosupport those efforts.

Last July, the IBEWencouraged then-Sen.Obama to support theTrade Reform, Account-ability, Developmentand Employment(TRADE) Act, which islikely to be re-intro-duced this year. Spon-sored by Sen. SherrodBrown (D-Ohio) andSen. Byron Dorgan(D-N.D.) and others,including Rep. LindaSanchez (D-Calif.), an

IBEW member, the bill would help craftfuture trade agreements that benefit work-ers, business owners and the nation.

Endorsed by more than a dozen fairtrade groups, the TRADE Act would man-date trade pact reviews, establish stan-dards, protect workers in developingnations and help restore congressionaloversight of future trade agreements.

An Energy Plan thatKeeps America Working

Most scientists agree that greenhousegases have led to a warming of the earth,which will have disastrous consequencesfor future generations unless we reduceour reliance on carbon-based forms ofenergy.

As the new administration works on

an energy plan that can begin greeningour economy, many congressional lead-ers have been giving more attention to aninnovative plan sponsored by the IBEWand an IBEW-represented utility, Ameri-can Electric Power, which uses trade asan incentive for rapidly industrializingcountries to reduce their carbon dioxideemissions.

Under the IBEW’s plan, nations thathaven’t signed on to a greenhouse gas-limiting agreement would have to buycarbon dioxide credits to sell their prod-ucts in the United States.

Unveiled in 2007, elements of the planwere incorporated into a climate changebill that was introduced in the Senate in2007 by Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and for-mer Sen. John Warner (R-Va.). The billwas unable to garner enough support tobreak a threatened filibuster, but the planstoked interest on Capitol Hill.

One disadvantage of current interna-tional agreements like the United Nation’sKyoto pact is that it only applies to signa-tory nations. This gives factories inrapidly industrializing countries freelicense to pollute as much as they like,providing an incentive for companies incountries that have signed the accord tomove their production overseas to avoidemission limits.

“The IBEW/AEP proposal is a realisticplan that forthrightly deals with climate-changing emissions arising from fast-developing nations like India and Chinawhile complying with U.S. international

trade obligations,” President Hill said.“The key challenge is how to fight

global warming while making sure wekeep good jobs here at home,” Huntersaid. “The IBEW/AEP plan is an excel-lent framework in which we can con-front both head on.”

Hunter recently joined with otherlabor leaders from the United States asdelegates to the United Nations ClimateChange Conference in Poland, in Decem-ber, to create a successor agreement tothe Kyoto pact, which expires in 2012.

Hunter lobbied delegates to confer-ence with the IBEW/AEP plan. “It gotsome attention because everyone knowsyou have to get China and India on boardwith any agreement to make it work.”

Keeping Nuclearin the MixEmitting no greenhouse gases or air

pollutants, nuclear power has re-enteredthe national energy debate as a reliablealternative to carbon-based fuels. TheEnergy Policy Act of 2005 put nuclearback into America’s energy portfolio byproviding billions of dollars in govern-ment subsidies for nuclear power andrecently the first new civilian nuclear facil-ity in 30 years began construction in NewMexico, built by mem-bers of AlbuquerqueLocal 611 (see “IBEW,NECA Contractors HelpLead Nuclear Renais-sance in New Mexico,”September 2008, theElectrical Worker).

The Building andConstruct ion TradesDepartment of the AFL-CIO estimates that eachnuclear power plant cre-ates approximately 1,500construction jobs and upto 700 permanent posi-tions.

Despite heightenedinterest, the recessionhas caused a construc-tion slowdown that has

dried up potential investment in nuclearpower, which is why it’s vital that taxincentives for nuclear be part of anycongressional energy plan.

Rebuild Amtrak andU.S. Passenger RailSystem

A growing number of members inCongress agree with Rep. John L. Mica(R-Fla.) that the United States hasbecome a Third World country in railinfrastructure. The nation’s fastest pas-senger train, Amtrak’s Acela, travels at apeak speed of 150 mph. Yet, France’sTGV regularly hits 200 mph. The U.S.has the largest rail system of any countryin the world, yet it ranks behind under-developed countries like Egypt, Pakistanand Indonesia in passenger miles.

After years of fighting the Bushadministration’s attempts to bankruptand privatize Amtrak, IBEW RailroadDepartment Director Bill Bohné seeshope for a renewal of passenger railunder the Obama-Biden administration.He also looks for open positions on theAmtrak board of directors, the FederalRailroad Administration and the NationalMediation Board to be filled byappointees who understand the need fora level playing field between manage-ment and labor.

Obama and Biden’s rail trip to theinauguration “sends avery strong message,”says Bohné, aboutstrengthening a federalcommitment to passen-ger rail.

Even be fo re therecent election, a biparti-san coalition in Congresssuccessful ly pushedBush to increase fundingfor infrastructure andrailroad security andhelped to settle a collec-tive bargaining agree-ment with Amtrak’sunions—including over1,200 IBEW members—who had been workingeight years without anew contract.

On several occasions, Congressrejected moves to shift more of Amtrak’sbudgetary burden on states that werealready under severe pressure. And rail-road advocates persuaded politiciansthat selling off the railroads would be adisaster, citing England, where delaysand increasing accidents followed priva-tization. Now, even cabinet departmentsare demonstrating their appreciation ofrail’s necessity.

The Transportation Department isrequesting proposals for development ofa high-speed rail line between Washing-ton and New York City. With the newadministration fielding enough other bud-get requests to fill a mile-long string offreight cars, labor’s railroad workers andtheir supporters must make the strongestpossible case for bringing modern pas-senger rail into the current century.

The need to reduce the nation’sreliance upon fossil fuels can bolsterpassenger rail advocates. Passenger railuses half the energy of an airplane andcan carry twice the number of peopleper mile. And rail has the capacity tocarry 16 lanes of highway travelers perpassenger mile.

Since Amtrak has already garneredmajor bipartisan support under a Repub-lican administration, President Hill iseven more hopeful that the Obama-Biden administration will take steps torebuild a passenger railroad that can bethe envy of the world. But it won’t hap-pen, says Hill, without grassroots helpfrom unions in the rail industry and ourfriends. 1

FOR THE INTERNATIONALEXECUTIVECOUNCIL

Patrick Lavin, Secretary

Is it Made in the U.S.A.?

As a member of the IBEW for over 20 years, I feel that asa group we take a lot of pride promoting a pro-Americanenvironment. But is it enough to only talk about being aproud American?Buying products made in U.S.A. is something we should

all do, instead of just talking about. Sit down at your com-puter and type in what you are looking for. Then add “madein U.S.A." It only takes a couple of minutes, and will giveyou lots of options. While it is not always possible to buyAmerican for everything we need, it is always possible to try.If we blindly make purchases without a care for where andby whom it was made, then we are part of the problem, nomatter how proud we are to be Americans.

All these vehicles aremade in the UnitedStates or Canada bymembers of the UnitedAuto Workers (UAW),Canadian Auto Workers(CAW) or InternationalUnion of ElectricalWorkers-CommunicationsWorkers of America (IUE).

Because of the inte-gration of U.S. andCanadian vehicleproduction, all thesevehicles include signifi-cant UAW-made contentand support the jobs

of UAW members.However, those

marked with an asterisk(*) are sourced from theUnited States and another country.

When purchasing oneof these models, checkthe Vehicle IdentificationNumber (VIN). A VINbeginning with 1, 4 or 5identifies a U.S.-madevehicle; 2 identifies aCanadian-made vehicle.

Not all vehicles madein the United States orCanada are built by

union-represented work-ers. The Toyota Corolla,for example, is made inthe United States by UAWmembers, but theCanadian model ismade in a nonunionplant and other modelsare imported from a thirdcountry.
