The Brotherhood at its Best

Thank you for your fine article about Brother John Harriel Jr. in ourMarch/April issue. It is a shining example of our Brotherhood at its best.And special thanks to Brother Everett Tims for encouraging Brother Harriel.

I’ve always felt that the IBEW should build up people, as it did with me,taking me from a low-paying job and making me gainfully employed. Sup-portive union brothers help all of us work through problems as we learn.Plus, it’s so good that people can better themselves, regardless of their past.

I read with interest “The IBEW Saved My Life.” As a journeyman some yearsago I had a similar experience with a worker at the local electric utility. I gavehim a job to do and he came to me later and said that’s done, what’s next?

Later he told me he was involved in street gangs and went to court. Thejudge told him he better join the military service or he will wind up in jail.He joined the Navy and returned to work for the company. He became ajourneyman and a friend.

All of the apprentices that worked with me, I taught how to tie knots andtold them to keep a pigging string in their pocket and practice. A youngman came to me and demonstrated he knew them all. I told him to tie themwithout looking at them. Sure enough he did. At line school the instructorcame to him and asked if he could tie a bowline. He said sure, looking theinstructor in the face, tied one and held it up. The instructor said where didyou learn that? He said from an electrician at the electric maintenance shop.

Do Your Part

The most incredible environmental problem that we are facing is globalwarming. I am concerned that if we do not take powerful and massive actionsnow, we will create a train of environmental change and damage that may beirreversible.

IBEW members can help.

1. All roofs should have solar panels, the best investment for home-owners to get free energy

2. Get LED lights, flashlights and rechargeable batteries

3. Use energy saving compact fluorescent light bulbs

4. Install energy saving HVAC thermostats, controls and auto shut-off timers

5. Perform renovations and repairs instead of disposal

6. Use fuel cells and alternative energy

7. Erect motion lights, photo cells on all outside lights and dimmers

8. Save scrap copper and metal

9. Watch videos “An Inconvenient Truth,” and “Who Killed the Electric Car”

10. Use less materials to do the job: think twice, cut once

2 IBEW JOURNAL, SUMMER 2007

tand-up comedians have gotten laughsfor years with jokes about spouses whoannoy their mates by squeezing thetoothpaste in the middle of the tube. It’s not so funny when those who makeand administer the laws in NorthAmerica do their version

of the same thing—squeezingthe middle income earners.

This is not new. It started in the 1980swith the election of conservative leadersin several industrialized nations and con-tinued with the funding of right-wingthink tanks and media centers, the rise ofthe global economy and technologicaladvances. The first two developmentsshifted the center of political gravity; thelast two changed the economic balance.

No one should underestimate the cen-tral role that the pursuit of cheap labor hasplayed in this transformation. I firmlybelieve that the ideology of the corporateand political right wing holds that workersare a commodity to be obtained as cheaplyas possible, that unions are to be resistedat all costs, and that a worker who hasachieved middle-class status is making toomuch money—money that would be bet-ter devoted to the balance sheet.

It is a sad and bitter fact of life that mil-lions of solid industrial jobs are gone, per-haps forever. But it is not too late to effecta transformation of our own.

Our Brotherhood and many otherunions represent the core of the middleclass—those men and women who perform the work thatkeeps North America functioning and, because of their unionmembership, still have a chance at home ownership, careeradvancement for themselves and their families and access tohealth care and a secure retirement. This opportunity to live adecent life is what we fight to preserve. There are some signsthat our message is getting through.

The shortage of skilled workers that is beginning to be feltin key industries, as discussed in the cover story of this issue

and in Secretary-Treasurer Walters’s column on the facingpage, has driven home the point that we cannot continue tobe a society composed of college-educated elites and low-paidservice workers. The United States and Canada need men andwomen with the skills to provide the industry and infrastruc-ture to keep our nations prosperous and strong. And thosejobs must continue to be valued and compensated accordingly.

The debate on the immigration bill that recently failed topass the Senate was also useful. Manyadvocates of the bill had good, humani-tarian motives for wanting to address theissue. But the provision to allow a mas-sive guest worker program made the Sen-ate bill a nonstarter in the eyes of most ofthe labor movement. An increasing num-ber of people saw the immigration bill tobe the flip side of the trade deals thathave destroyed so many jobs. If we can’tsend work overseas to be done by cheaplabor, the corporate reasoning goes, we’llbring the low cost labor over here to takethe jobs of better paid workers.

Bull. Legal immigration, if combinedwith training and increased opportunityfor the unemployed and underemployedin North America, may be part of theanswer to the skill shortage. But we willnot tolerate proposals designed only todrive down the living standards of allworkers. I consider it a positive sign thatthe light finally went on for so many peo-ple as this issue was being argued in themedia and in Congress.

The failure of the Employee FreeChoice Act was regrettable—but pre-dictable—in the current climate. Yet, hereagain, the fact that the bill came so closeto passage opened many eyes to thedirect link between the shrinking size of

unions and the decline of real wages and economic opportu-nity. This will help us when we come back in the future tofight for meaningful labor law reform.

So spread your elbows and fight for your space. We aregoing to end the squeeze on the middle class. 1

IBEW JOURNAL, SUMMER 2007 3

he days when the manufacturing sectorcould provide millions of stable jobs withcompetitive pay and good benefits aregone. Today, thanks to outsourcing andnew technology, the service sector is thefastest growing segment of the job market.

The bad news is that low wages,scant benefits and no collective bargain-ing agreement are the lot of today’s ser-vice workers. Have we become, as manypundits and academics claim, a post-industrial nation? Not quite.

Yes, the number of low-skilled factoryjobs has dropped 25 percent in the last 10years. But the number of high skilledindustrial jobs rose 37 percent over thesame period. As we report in this issue, allaspects of the electrical industry needmore and more qualified wiremen, line-men and technicians to meet the growingpower, telecommunications and transporta-tion needs of an expanding economy. Themanufacturing base of North America ismore high-skill and high-tech than everbefore and our workers need the besttraining available to take these jobs.

Because of the lack of investment inwork force development by industry lead-ers, government and the school system,many of these good-paying positions willgo unfilled. This neglect threatens thehealth of our economy.

Instead of providing federal money tosupport local efforts to make sure workersget the high-tech training they need, theBush administration tried to strip fundsfrom programs like Job Corps and theWorkforce Investment Act, which provides federal support forstate programs to offer services for adults, laid-off workers andyouth. The U.S. now ranks last among the major industrialnations in terms of spending for work force development.

And too many companies, in their quest for profit, slashedtheir training and recruitment budgets, not planning for thetime when their active work force retires. This is especiallytrue among many utilities.

Our educational system, with a few exceptions, has failed

to realize the importance of technical and vocational educa-tion. We place too much focus on college without preparingstudents for the kinds of jobs our economy is producing.

Skilled blue-collar labor does not get the kind of respectand support it needs. But the United States, Canada andPuerto Rico cannot run without the kind of work we do.

We need to fill these jobs with highly skilled workers ifwe want the U.S. to stay in forefront of industrial and techno-logical innovation. And we need to get workers into these

positions because it is these jobs—goodunion jobs—that can be a route back intothe middle class for millions of NorthAmericans stuck in no-future, minimum-wage jobs. Something is very wrongwhen one out of six full-time workers isliving below the poverty line. We need toinvest in our middle class again and stopthe drift into a continent of haves andhave-nots.

Studies have shown that union-ledapprenticeship programs continue toshoulder the bulk of skilled job trainingand produce the best trained workers. TheIBEW and the National Electrical Contrac-tors Association already operate more than80 percent of apprenticeship programs forthe electrical industry. Federal policy needsto be directed towards strengthening pro-grams that can attract new workers intounion-led apprenticeships as opposed tononunion, private, fly-by-night operationsout to make a quick buck.

It would be hard to imagine a strongNorth America without the top skilledwork force in the world. The IBEW hasbeen harnessing every tool we have torecruit the best and the brightest to theelectrical trade, from using online programslike Electric TV and the Electrifying CareersWeb site, to going directly to students and

young workers to let them know what a career in the IBEWcan offer. We are ready to partner with anyone—industry lead-ers, the schools, and federal, state and local governments—todo what it takes to produce skilled workers for tomorrow’sjobs. That must be our commitment. It will be our legacy. 1

Rapid growth in the Omaha region createda great need for more power, so in the sum-mer of 2004, MidAmerican Energy Co. signedan agreement with the Omaha and SoutheastIowa Buildings and Construction TradesCouncil to begin construction on the center,the first new power plant in the area indecades.

“We haven’t done a powerhouse in over20 years, so it was great for us,” said Local22 Business Manager Gary Kelly. Nearly 50

members of Des Moines, Iowa, Local 499staff the plant.

The 100-percent union workplace and reg-ular meetings with management kept thework moving smoothly. “We had bi-weeklymeetings with the owner and we assigned afull-time rep to the project. With over 900electricians we of course had our bumps andbruises, but we kept communications openand got through the project without any majorproblems,” Kelly said. 1

In the lasttwo years, over 900 IBEW members—together with more than 3,000other skilled tradesmen—have been busy making sure that the Coun-cil Bluffs Energy Center, a 790-megawatt coal-fired generating station,was up and running on its June 1 opening.

New City, NY.,Local 363 hosted aroundtable discussionon sustainable energy,bringing together en-vironmentalists, localand state politicians,

representatives from local utilities and orga-nized labor to focus on making renewableenergy a reality in the Hudson Valley. Over100 members of the community also attended.

“Environmentalists are focusing more andmore on creating new renewable energyresources. But a lot of them don’t have all thetechnical know-how needed to make it a real-ity. That’s where the IBEW comes in,” saidLocal 363 Training Director Craig Jacobs.

Some of the proposals coming out of the

meeting included doing a study on possiblesites for windmills to harvest wind powerand making plans to install solar panels onthe roofs of government buildings.

“It was the joining of what are normallytwo opposing forces: organized labor andenvironmentalists. The whole theme was get-ting labor involved with environmentalistsand environmentalists involved with labor sowe both know that we need to work hand inhand,” Jacobs said.

“(The environmentalists) look towards usbecause they know we’ve been out front,”said Local 363 Business Manager JohnMaraia, noting that the local was one of thefirst offices to set up solar panels in the area.

A two-day roundtable is tentativelyplanned for later in the year. 1

Acco rd ing to theNational Adult Literacy Sur-vey, 42 percent of Maineadults function at a readinglevel below what is neededto succeed in today’s econ-omy. So when PortlandLocal 567 had an opportu-nity to join the fight for liter-acy, they jumped at thechance, said Business Man-ager Milton McBreairty.

Local 567 leaders pre-sented the First Lady ofMaine, Karen Baldacci, witha check for $5,000 to sup-port the Maine Festival ofthe Book—a statewideevent in June that broughttogether well-known writersfrom Maine and throughoutthe nation to celebrate read-ing and focus attention onimportant state initiativesmeant to improve literacy.Some of the attendeesincluded Pulitzer Prize win-ner David McCullough,author Maxine Kumin andactress Glenn Close.

The festival is a projectof Maine Reads, a non-profitorganization established byBaldacci to promote literacy.

In a letter to Local 567,Ms. Baldacci thanked thelocal for its generosity andnoted that the IBEW’s “participation will make an immediate impact in the lives ofmany chil-dren anda d u l t sthroughoutthe State ofMaine.” 1

“Congress is not on the right track,” said IBEW InternationalSecretary-Treasurer Jon F. Walters. “A political solution may nevercome.”

The United States spent $2.1 trillion on health care services in2006—more than 4 times the amount spent on national defense.But rather than wait for a national solution to fix the broken sys-tem, the NECA/IBEW Family Health Care Plan is welcoming mem-bers and their families into the program that is already giving9,000 members better coverage for their healthcare buck.

A year and a half after its rollout, the plan includes some 30locals, mainly in the Fifth, Tenth and Seventh districts. It has nearly18,000 participants, including members and their families.

Nashville, Tenn., Local 429 Business Manager Robert Emery Jr.,said switching to the national plan saved members $600 on theannual deductible for family coverage. Members do not have towait as long to be eligible for coverage as they did in the old plan,prescription drugs are much cheaper and pre-existing conditionsare not excluded, Emery said.

“It’s a good plan, and it’s made our contractors morecompetitive,” Emery said.

Trustees for the formerly self-insured 700-memberBirmingham, Ala., Local 136 plan decided they had astark choice: either somehow keep up with rising costsor strike out on a new path based on the principles ofsolidarity and collective benefit.

For those hoping Congress will swoop

in to solve the United States’ health

care mess, the IBEW has a message:

don’t hold your breath.

Page 9: Summer 2007 · 2007-07-19 · 2 IBEW JOURNAL, SUMMER 2007 tand-up comedians have gotten laughs for years with jokes about spouses who annoy their mates by squeezing the toothpaste

pool … and help build the IBEW insur-ance plan we’ve always dreamed of?”Local 136 Business Manager Jackie Good-win asked in a presentation made tomembers.

In the end, Local 136 decided to takethe plunge, opting for a lower contribu-tion rate, retiree coverage, a lower thresh-old for maximum out-of-pocketobligations, and the creation of individualmedical accounts to offset expenses notcovered by the plan, like deductibles andco-payments.

“We truly believe that the nationalplan is the way to go for all IBEW mem-bers,” said Goodwin, who is the FourthDistrict International Executive Councilmember. “It will be beneficial to all.”

Cost, stability and health care providedby the biggest player in the healthcareindustry—Blue Cross/Blue Shield—wereall factors Local 136’s trustees consideredbefore joining up with the national plan.

“We weren’t broke, we didn’t have tomake the change,” Goodwin said.

Knoxville, Tenn. Local 760 BusinessManager George Bove said he pulled his1,800-member local out of a large fund tojoin the national plan last September.

The contribution rate went from $5.15to $3.90 an hour, with 25 cents of thesavings directed into a fund for the localtraining center and the rest into individualhealth savings accounts. “Everybody isresponding well to it,” Bove said.

The national plan is currently made upof former multi-employer funds—jointlyadministered labor-management partner-ships that provide health insurance toconstruction members. Without thenational plan, labor and managementtrustees bear the burden of trying to getthe best coverage for members withoutbreaking them financially while beingconfronted by constantly rising costs andtight-fisted insurance companies.

But the NECA/IBEW Family HealthCare Plan aims to relieve multi-employerfunds of the heavy responsibilities that goalong with trusteeship while spreadingthe burden among a larger pool of partic-ipants.

“Every review that’s been done showsit’s a cost benefit, in some cases a signifi-cant savings, and improved benefits,” saidJim Combs, Senior Executive Assistant to

the International Secretary-Treasurer.Single employers, primarily in other

branches, are being encouraged to jointoo.

In an age when one illness can wipeout a small or medium-sized fund withindays, shared risk is among the most impor-tant benefits of the national plan, saidBlomquist & Co. Vice President Kurt Star-buck, a consultant to the plan. Instability isinherent in funds with 300 active employ-ees and retirees.

“All they need todo is lose a fewhours of work or aproject shuts downor somebody getshurt, and they don’thave a paddle,” Star-buck said. “One ortwo claims can eatup reserves theyhave spent yearsbuilding up.”

No plan—even a large fund—isimmune from thehit of a large claimlike an organ trans-plant or the birth of premature triplets, ora run of plain bad luck. Insurance com-panies can require a fund to carry stop-loss coverage, which has high deductiblesborne by the fund with the carrier cover-ing everything over that price—until thenext year, Starbuck said. Then the painreally starts, with companies “lasering” or“carving out” expensive individuals. “Itused to be very rare when that hap-pened. Now it’s getting to be the rule,”Starbuck said. “That’s the kind of expo-sure people are facing. That’s thechanged marketplace.”

International Secretary-Treasurer Wal-ters stressed that although small planscould be wiped out sooner, “all plans areat risk.”

Another benefit of the plan is profes-sional management, Combs said. Joiningthe national plan spares smaller healthand welfare fund trustees around thecountry the significant fiduciary responsi-bility that goes along with the job, whichmeans, among other things, the possibil-ity of being named in lawsuits.

Today, even as they acknowledge that

someday they will probably have to takethe plunge and join in the national plan,many funds are waiting to see how thenational plan develops.

“I hear it all the time, people sayingeventually we’re going to have to dothis,” Combs said. “But they need tomake the move now, while they are stillhealthy.”

Healthcare costs are going up everyyear by double digits. If the average

increase is 12 per-cent, Combs said,costs are on sched-ule to double in sixyears. “Small plansare going to sufferthe most, butmedium and largeplans will suffertoo,” he said.

IBEW and planrepresentatives havebeen traveling thecountry in an effortto convince mem-bers and trustees tojoin up. Armed withPowerPoint presen-

tations outlining the significant discountsoffered by Blue Cross, net savings compar-isons and the steps funds must take for acomprehensive analysis, they are honingthe IBEW message and sounding thealarms for those considering waiting toolong.

“The bottom line is that plans that arewaiting are spending more money thanthey need to,” Combs said.

National plan trustee Walters, who hasbeen key in the development and admin-istration of the plan, urged IBEW mem-bers and leaders to consider joining. “Wewant to help fulfill the promises made tomembers about future benefits for activemembers and retirees,” Walters said.

“Can you imagine the savings andbenefits for members had the uniondeveloped this plan at the same time itstarted the National Electrical BenefitFund more than 50 years ago?” he said.“Our members, contractors and retireeswould be the envy of the trade unionmovement. No plan can go it alone intoday’s world. Now is the time to startbuilding this great plan.” 1

Rebekah Friend was having difficulty supportingtwo children on her nonunion job at ArizonaPublic Service in the 1970’s when she heardthat unionized workers at the utility, members ofPhoenix, Ariz., Local 387, brought home betterpay. She transferred to a bargaining unit meterreader position, drove trucks, worked in thewarehouse and got active in her union.

Hundreds of thousands of Arizona workers have benefitedfrom Friend’s decision to throw her lot in with organized labor.Her appointment as the first woman executive director of theArizona AFL-CIO in January and her election as the first womansecretary-treasurer in March are landmarks in a career thatincludes directing last year’s successful ballot referendum to raiseArizona’s minimum wage and the founding of a non-profit orga-nization that has successfully trained and recruited women towin campaigns for public office.

“I think I was born for public service. I always had a desire forpeople to have a voice. That desire has become more intense as Ilisten to horrifying stories about workers being mistreated who justwant to take care of their families,” says Friend.

After serving as a shop steward and running for union office,Friend left Arizona Public Service in the 1990’s, went back toschool and got a job with Focused Change International, teach-ing strategic planning to local unions as far away as Australia thatwere facing downsizing of their work forces.

In 1998, Local 387 hired Friend as a business representativeand lobbyist to lead the fight against deregulation of Arizona’sutilities. Deregulation opponents were effective at the ArizonaCorporation Commission, the state’s public service commission,says Friend. She drew attention to the “implosion of utility dereg-ulation in California” and the problems that Arizona had alreadyfaced from phone company deregulation.

She was elected to thepart-time position in 2002 and hired as a full-time legislativedirector by Arizona AFL-CIO Executive Director Mike McGrath, aCWA member.

“Rebekah has always had a full work load,” says McGrath, whoassigned her to direct the federation’s field program. He describesher as smart, experienced and having “good gut instincts.”

“She never left me or the AFL-CIO in a position where we gotless than we should have fromthe state’s legislators,” McGrathadded.

Friend helped marshal thestate’s Voice at Work organiz-ing initiative, which is nowviewed as a national model bythe AFL-CIO. The Bureau ofLabor Statistics reports thatunion membership in Arizonarose from 145,000 in 2005 to197,000 in 2006, a 36 percentincrease. Still, Arizona’s uniondensity is well below thenational average. Friend isencouraged, even after losingkey former AFL-CIO affiliatesafter the federation split in2005. “We’re disproving thetheory that you can’t organizein a right-to-work state,” shesays. “My main job is to seethat everybody is participatingand engaged.”

Of all the leaders that hehas worked with during hisyears in the labor movement,Friend is one of those “most intune with the union member-ship,” says McGrath. She isrespected by leaders of both parties in the state legislature and heradvocacy covers all workers. Friend played a central role in lobby-ing legislators to implement a statewide Cesar Chavez Day tohonor Arizona’s immigrant farm workers. “If we let immigrantworkers get abused and forced to work under unsafe conditions,we are making a big mistake,” she says. She was the first presidentof Maricopa County’s Coalition of Labor Union Women and wonthe 2004 YWCA Woman of the Year award.

The 2006 ballot referendum that raised Arizona’s minimumwage passed by 68 percent. In January, Friend was back lobbyingthe legislature for an increase in workers’ compensation payments.Her efforts directly resulted in passage of the largest workers’ com-pensation increase in history. “The legislators knew from her trackrecord, that if they didn’t pass a decent bill, Rebekah could get the

measure on the state ballot and that she would win,” saysMcGrath

Working together, McGrath and Friend have been key moversin the traditionally Republican state’s political transformation, fueledby new residents pouring into Arizona from the Rust Belt and otherparts of the U.S. “We went from red to purple,” says Friend, elect-ing two consecutive Democratic governors and attorneys general,since 2002. The state’s legislature has gone from 12 percent Demo-cratic to nearly 50 percent. Democrats are four members awayfrom controlling the house and three away in the senate and the

state’s eight U.S. House repre-sentatives are evenly splitbetween the parties.

Arizona State Rep. LenaSaradnik says that she wasthrilled to hear that Friendwas appointed to lead theAFL-CIO. A former flightattendant at Northwest Air-lines, where she served asbusiness agent for TeamstersLocal 2000, Saradnik waselected to represent a districtin Tucson after being trainedby Emerge Arizona. Friendhelped establish the non-profitgroup in 2004 out of frustra-tion that so many candidatesfor office were not addressingthe real needs of workingfamilies. The model has beenreplicated in six states.

“Emerge Arizona convincedme that my background wasperfect for running for office,”says Saradnik. As one of nearly75 participants in the group’sclasses over the last threeyears, Saradnik said the train-ing gave her the tools to win.

“Rebekah is incredibly competent,” says Saradnik. “Her skillshave nothing to do with gender and everything to do with whatkind of person she is. I don’t know anyone that works as tirelesslyon behalf of working families as Rebekah.”

Friend credits several IBEW leaders as mentors. Chuck Huggins,the former business manager of Globe, Ariz., Local 518, onceserved as Arizona AFL-CIO executive director. Long-serving Local387 Business Manager and IBEW International Executive Councilchairman Clyde Bowden encouraged her to participate. Gene Hill,Bowden’s predecessor, convinced her to run for shop steward andwas constantly encouraging and supportive. Bob DeSpain, the cur-rent business manager, is a trusted ally. “I think that the IBEW ismoving in the right direction and I’m pleased to see a more diversegroup of leaders and members coming forward,” Friend says. 1

This March Local 134 decided to shareits skills with other IBEW membersacross the United States by sponsor-ing—along with the National Joint

Aprenticeship TrainingCommittee (NJATC) and

the Steel Tube Institute—a train-the-trainer program on conduitbending skills.

Chicago has long been the center of metal conduit technology

thanks to long-standing city electrical codes requiring its use.

“In our local we are probably the best trained work force when

it comes to bending conduit in the country,” said Chicago

Local 134 member Tony Griffin.

Conduits are galvanized steel pipeswhich electrical wires are run through.By grounding the wire, it prevents ashort from turning into a fire. A majorpart of installing conduit consists ofbending the pipes to exact specificationsto connect the wires between junctionboxes. While required in most of com-mercial construction, it is rarely used inresidential except in the Chicago area.

Local 134 member Harry Ohde, whoteaches electrical code at the NJATC’sNational Training Institute’s center inKnoxville, Tenn., noticed last year thatthere were no classes offered in conduitbending. So Ohde approached NJATCExecutive Director Michael Callananabout developing a hands-on conduitbending train-the-trainer class.

The week-long class was more thanjust instruction in the basics of conduitbending—it was an opportunity for theattendees to take what they learnedback to their home locals. “We wanted

to make sure that the attendees wereready to train their own members whenthey got back,” Ohde said. “Each partici-pant left Chicago with ideas on buildinga better conduit bending curriculum andhow to be a better instructor.”

Basing their curriculum on the newlyissued NJATC conduit bending trainingmanual, Ohde and Griffin—with helpfrom Local 134 Business Manager Timo-thy Foley and Chicago JATC TrainingDirector John Donahue—put the 20attendees through nine hours of inten-sive training each day. “From seven tofive we worked these guys hard bendingpipe,” Ohde said.

Many local vendors of conduit tech-nology also attended, donating tools andmaterials to the class that many atten-dees took home to use in their owntrainings.

For Callanan, Local 134’s training is agreat opportunity to strengthen unionconstruction by giving members skills

that will make them a lot more attractiveto contractors.

IBEW Director of Construction andMaintenance Mark Ayers said the pipe-bending class is the beginning of a moreflexible approach to training the nextgeneration of union tradesmen that willmake the union more competitiveagainst nonunion contractors.

“We always focused on having ourmembers be able to do everything wellbefore they got started on a job, but thatis not necessarily the most realistic optionif we want to compete,” Ayers said. “If ajob needs pipe benders, then we willstart training new members on pipebending first so they have productiveskills the first day on the job.”

Based on the success of the Marchtrainings, Local 134 plans to repeat the classat the end of June. “We hope what we aredoing in Chicago can be a model for otherlocals,” Foley said. ”It’s training like this thatkeeps (the IBEW) ahead of the curve.” 1

NASCAR fans, meet Alli Owens, the 18-year-old driver of theElectrifyingCareers.com car, as it’s known at the NASCAR

Whelen Series top-level amateur circuit. Every week sheraces, she is talking up her sponsors, the IBEW and the

National Electrical Contractors Association, and educatinga new generation of poten-tial recruits about the bene-fits of working for theunionized electrical industry.

“Who would you rathersend to a high school—an18-year old or a contractor?”asked IBEW Constructionand Maintenance DepartmentDirector Mark Ayers. “To thepeople we are trying toattract, there is a generationgap. The best selling point ofthis program is younger peo-ple talking to each other.”

And talk she does, when she’s not racing late-model stock carswith high-performance engines and full-tube chassis. Owens is justas comfortable talking about horsepower and torque as she is at dis-

cussing why enteringan apprenticeship tobecome an insidewireman is a good

career choice.Every week before the race in front of 2,500 fans at the Tri-

County Motor Speedway in Hudson, N.C., drivers are given themicrophone for five minutes. Owens turns hers into an analogy onopportunity. “I tell them that I’m learning every time I’m on thetrack,” Owens said. “NECA and the IBEW have given me theopportunity to advance my career. I’m giving the fans informationabout the never-ending opportunity to enhance their futures.”

Owens, who hopes to turn pro nextyear, describes herself as a walking bill-board, with the catchy URL www.electri-fyingcareers. com splashed across herdriving suit and the “hero cards” she dis-tributes at races, job fairs and mall appear-ances she attends across the South withNECA representatives and IBEW members.The race car draws interest from youngpeople—much more than when theNECA/IBEW people stand at a booth bythemselves—and Owens takes it fromthere.

“At job fairs, if my car isn’t there, peopledon’t stop,” she said. “When people see arace car, it grabs their attention, and theystart to look around. All the informationabout the apprenticeship program isspread out across the hood of the car. It’shard to believe how the race car affectspeople.”

The race car has certainly had aneffect on Owens, a native of Florida. She grew up racing BMXbicycles and quarter midget cars. She graduated to car racing at theage of 13—years before she could drive legally on the road—in theDirt Pure Stock Division at Volusia Speedway in Florida. She placedsixth in championship points out of a field of 27 cars, and loggedtwo wins, six top-five and eight top-10 finishes by the age of 14.The next two years she cut her racing teeth at the New SmyrnaSpeedway in Florida and was named rookie of the year twice intwo divisions. Last year she raced in the Florida Goodyear Chal-lenge Series, sponsored by NECA member Brad Giles, owner ofGiles Electric. This year NECA and the IBEW, as the National LaborManagement Cooperation Committee, are her exclusive sponsors.

With focus, determination and the support of her parents,Owens finished high school in three years of rigorous study, andracing on weekends. While other girls were going to the promand hanging out at the mall, Owens was tuning engines and

paying her dues in the garage, mechanics’ grease on her faceinstead of the latest shade of eye shadow. She gave up her postas captain of the cheerleading squad and her all-star fast-pitchsoftball team to devote herself to racing.

This year is the first she has spent racing full time. Thanks toher sponsorship arrangement with IBEW and NECA, Owens isable to race every weekend and support a crew of four. She livesin Mooresville, N.C., which is the racing equivalent to Hollywoodfor aspiring actors. Known as Race City U.S.A., Mooresville ishome to NASCAR greats Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon andRobby Gordon, whose boat trailer almost collided with her carrecently on the street in Mooresville. “I thought I was going to

have to call my dad and tell him thatRobby Gordon almost got me into myfirst road accident,” she said.

This year, Owens races car No. 22, aFord Fusion, in the Whelen All American

Series and the United Speed AllianceRacing Late Model Series at tracksat Tri-County, nearby CarawaySpeedway and in Myrtle Beach,S.C. So far, she has logged two top

10’s and a top-five finish. The sea-son, which starts in the spring, ends

in late August.Speed is the rush that turns most rac-

ers on and Owens is no exception. Thehalf-mile “short-track” she runs on allowsher to reach speeds of 120 maximum,and forces her to slow down on thecurves. She competes in fields of up to26 cars in races of 75 or 100 laps.

She dreams of racing at Daytona andTalladega and the other big tracks, where

laps are two and a half miles, and the average speed is 188 milesper hour. “When you get to that track, you are full throttle thewhole time,” Owens said. “It must be such an adrenaline rush.”

As a woman, Owens stands out in a sport dominated by men,but she is not unique. Danica Patrick made headlines recently forcontending at the Indianapolis 500, an open-wheel race versusthe stock car racing that is NASCAR. Before Patrick came Lyn St.James, an open-wheel pioneer who also raced in the Indy 500,and hosts a radio show on which Owens has been interviewed.Both have been mentors to Owens. A Web site, www.racer-chicks.com even dispenses advice like track etiquette and tipson interviewing and public speaking. But for Owens, self-assur-ance comes from within.

“I am confident that in the long term I will be successful,”Owens said. “I want to make history and have NECA and theIBEW be a part of it.” 1

“My field didn’t even exist when I grad-uated high school in 1988,” says Hoer-ricks. The son of a Teamster, Hoerricksstarted working at the LAPD in 2001, join-ing a unit of surveillance and counter-sur-veillance technicians, all members ofHollywood, Calif., Local 45.

Using artistic talents that he developedin his youth and equipment in the LAPDlab, Hoerricks removed the shadows. Hiswork illuminated the suspect and victimwalking through the parking lot towardsthe suspect’s car. The car was identifiedand crime scene specialists identified keyDNA evidence in it that linked the suspectto the murder victim.

“My client is the jury,” says Hoerricks.“When you first enter your house with thelights off, you are nevertheless familiarwith the room,” he told the jury. “Byadding light, you remove the darkness andfamiliar objects are revealed.

allows the observer to see the scene moreclearly.” The same process uncovered thecar in the parking lot. The jury acceptedhis explanation and found the defendantguilty as charged.

While he specializes in high-tech inter-pretations of video evidence and deliveringexpert courtroom testimony, Hoerricks’ tal-ents are also used for standard surveillance.

Placed on cooperative assignment tothe FBI’s South Los Angeles Violent GangTask Force, Hoerricks, who had onceworked in community theatre, built a “set”to observe high dollar narcotics transac-tions by removing objects that were at thescene of criminal activity and replacingthem with concealed cameras. “With theright props, the criminals felt comfortabledealing drugs,” he says. His work directlyresulted in 16 federal warrants, 22 statewarrants and 30 parole/probation checks.

“This can be the best job in the world,but it can be also incredibly strenuous,”says Hoerricks, a married father of three,with another child on the way. In theimmediate aftermath of the September 11terrorist attacks, he and his co-workersworked for two straight days. “We weretapping the airwaves to ascertain how our

enemies were communicating,” says Hoer-ricks.

One co-worker is an electrical engi-neer, one is an electrician in the NavyReserve, and another is a retired IRS spe-cial agent. Most of the crew members inthe bargaining unit have a good basicknowledge of electricity, computers, elec-tronics, audio and video.

“We have a really good group of guys.It’s a nice thing to have so many skill setsin the room and I’m totally comfortablebeing part of a union doing this work,”says Hoerricks.

“Los Angeles can be as dangerous asIraq on any given day,” says Hoerricks,who frequently wears body armor on thejob and has been in close proximity toshootings. After feeling some early symp-toms of post traumatic stress syndromefrom the physical and emotional toll of hisjob, Hoerricks began the practice of QiGong, an ancient Chinese martial art thatstresses the harmony of breath, energyand motion. Until 2003, he worked off thestress competing in the Scottish HighlandGames where he won two California statecaber tossing championships.

Forensic video analysts, says Hoerricks,

deal with “vicarious trauma, having towatch people die or get hurt…over andover again without the ability to really doanything about it. More often than not, wedon’t ever learn of the outcome of thecases we work.” He said his relationshipwith his co-workers helps to sustain hisemotional balance. “I’ve never met a finergroup of Americans,” he says.

“They and people like them are thereason that we haven’t had another terror-ist attack since September 11,” he says.Last year, Hoerricks attended a briefing onthe London subway bombings wherevideo analysts from New Scotland Yardhad to review 58,000 pieces of video evi-dence to solve the crimes. Like London,Los Angeles is a high-profile target, but thevideo analysis field is not growing fastenough to fill the needs for homelandsecurity. The lack of trained techniciansfuels Hoerricks’ passion for teaching. Hehas held dozens of sessions for police,sheriffs and members of the L.A. CityAttorney’s Office and has helped todevelop international standards for hisfield. He is currently enrolled in WoodburyUniversity, where he is pursuing a B.A.degree in organizational leadership. 1

She was a manager for a California title company whojoined her husband in the electrical trade in 1984,became a foreman, and pavednew ground for women whenshe was appointed trainingdirector for San Mateo, Calif.,Local 617. He was a correc-tional officer who joined otherfamily members working atGeneral Electric’s refrigeratorplant in Bloomington, Ind. Asa shop steward in IBEW Local2249, he has been a key partici-pant in efforts to keep the plantfrom closing and has cam-paigned to serve working peo-ple in the Indiana legislature.

Today, Kathleen Barber and BillAbbott are sharing the honors as co-win-ners of the 2006 IBEW Founders’ Scholar-ship. They were selected by a group ofthree judges from outside of the IBEWwho reviewed applications for the awardestablished in 1966 to honor the linemenand wiremen who founded the Brother-hood in 1891.

Barber will enter the master’s programin organizations and leadership at Univer-sity of San Francisco. “Leadership is alearned skill, similar to being an electri-cian, where theories and applications canbe applied with accuracy for a predicted

outcome,” she wrote in her applica-tion essay.

“Kathleen is a bright,active, energetic wo-man who gets an

idea and then takes action to bring it tofruition. She can get people to worktogether,” says Margaret Marnell, Ph.D,who has worked on several projects withBarber.

Upon first hearing about the scholar-ship award, says Barber, “I was beyondwords.” After reflecting, she says, “Ithought what a humbling experience tobe given an opportunity by an organiza-

tion that has given me somuch, to have the chance toadvance my knowledge basein hopes that I can put itback out there for others,and to be a role model forwomen.”

Abbott, whose family hasover 100 years of combinedmembership in Bloomington,Ind., Local 2249, where heactively helped to lead theSave Our Jobs Committee,says, “I hope I can live up tothe honor that the Founders’Scholarship has bestowedupon me.”

Recruited by the Democ-rats to run for the statehouse in a heavily-Republi-can district, Abbott faced hisopponent in a debate. “If theforum was scored as a box-ing match, Bill scored a knockout in thethird,” says Jeffrey Fites, the district’sDemocratic chair. While Abbott didn’twin the election, the incumbent “learneda grudging respect for the intellect andfight of this proud IBEW man,” says Fites.

Currently completing his associatedegree in criminal justice at Ivy TechCommunity College, Abbott plans toattend Indiana State University. “Mydream,” he says, is to go to law school“to enhance my chances of a successfulpolitical career because working class

people need more peopleon their side.”

Barber and Abbott willreceive $200 per semestercredit hour, with a maximumdistribution over eight yearsof $24,000. In the traditionof prior recipients, they willbe required to submit anannual paper on a labor-related topic.

Founders’ Scholarshipjudges were John Bennett,Ph.D, Rutgers University, NewBrunswick, N.J.; RogerKeeran, Ph.D, Empire StateCollege, New York; and GregKinczewski, vice presidentand general counsel of MarcoConsulting Group, Chicago.

Kinczewski assesses theapplicants’ involvement intheir locals, communities and

political affairs. He wondered “how [theapplicants] have time for all that theyhave accomplished,” noting that manybalance demanding union positions, fam-ily responsibilities and rigorous academiccourse loads.

“Kathleen Barber and Bill Abbott aresure to continue the fine tradition ofFounders’ Scholarship winners who returnthe Brotherhood’s investment in their edu-cation with an ongoing commitment toput our core values and beliefs into prac-tice,” says President Edwin D. Hill. 1

In February, International PresidentEdwin D. Hill co-wrote an editorial withMichael G. Morris, CEO of AEP, callingfor an agreement to curb global warming.In the pages of the trade industry publi-cation The Energy Daily, the twodescribed their idea, a new-and-improvedworldwide climate agreement similar toKyoto that would compel developingcountries to limit their emissions or facepenalties for the gases released in theproduction of their imports. As the head-line of the op-ed says, “Trade is the keyto climate change.”

“We are calling on the United States tochange its policy both on greenhouse gasemissions and trade in the interest ofresponsible environmental stewardship,”President Hill said.

Kyoto is a United Nations pact ratifiedby 160 countries intent on reducing green-house gases. Nations who are party toKyoto—which do not include the UnitedStates, China or India—commit to reduc-ing carbon dioxide and other greenhousegases. But Kyoto, which expires in 2012,only applies to nations who signed it.

The Hill-Morris plan would apply toeveryone who trades with signatorynations.

Today, even with Kyoto in placeamong most Western countries,nations like China can emit as muchcarbon dioxide as they produce intothe atmosphere without penalty. InChina, pollution runoff in rivers andstreams and unending black smoke

billowing overhead are thedownsides of the nation’s

swift rise as a globalmanufacturing pow-erhouse. Expertspredict that Chinacould surpass theUnited States asthe globe’s topproducer of

greenhouse gases assoon as this year.

“We must addressthe soaring greenhousegas emissions of majoremitting nations in thedeveloping world,”said a joint statementby the IBEW and AEP.“To unilaterally capAmerica’s emissions,while ignoring othernations, is a fatallyflawed approach thatwill seriously harm theglobal environmentwhile compromisingour competitiveness and jeopardizingAmerican jobs.”

Labor and industry generally agreethat any new, effective emissions-reduc-ing law should not interfere with theAmerican economy or trade, said IBEWUtility Department Director Jim Hunter.

The IBEW/AEP idea has garnered wide-spread attention since it was first proposed,and has found a home in the Senate climate change bill introduced by EnergyCommittee Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.).

Here’s how it would work: The IBEW/AEP proposal recognizes it

would take five years to write the regula-tions and establish procedures to cap car-bon dioxide emissions through the use ofadvanced technology. Five years after that,its provisions would take effect. At thattime, if trading partners do not have simi-lar greenhouse gas-limiting protocols inplace, they must purchase carbon dioxidecredits to sell their products in the UnitedStates and other participating nations.

“The real issue is not that we wantthem to buy credits, we want them to captheir emissions,” Hunter said. “This sim-ply becomes a stick to force them to thetable.”

Depending on the scope of imports,the proposal could have a significant andserious impact on nations like China andIndia.

Unions for Jobs and the Environment,a coalition of 12 labor groups including

the IBEW, the Boilermakers, the MineWorkers, the Food and Commercial work-ers, among others, also support theIBEW/AEP proposal. The AFL-CIO is alsointerested.

“An inappropriate legislative responseto climate change could threaten the lossof millions of American jobs, impair ourinternational competitiveness, raiseenergy prices to unprecedented heightsand do little to change future global tem-peratures or sea levels,” said the UJAEJune newsletter.

The well-intentioned Kyoto pact,while reducing carbon dioxide emissionsamong member countries, could actuallyadd to the pollution problem under cer-tain scenarios. Right now under Kyoto, afactory owner in France, which dependslargely on nuclear power for electricity,could decide to close his plant and sellhis credits, only to re-open in China andbe subject to no emissions limits. “As faras global warming is concerned, that isthe worst thing that could happen,”Hunter said.

Hill and Morris consulted with expertsto help them develop a plan designed tobe compliant with the World Trade Orga-nization, which mediates trade amongnations. A tax on polluting countries, forexample, is not likely to be WTO compli-ant, Hunter said.

“This is a realistic plan that forthrightlydeals with climate-changing emissionsarising from fast-developing nations like

India and China whilecomplying with U.S.international tradeobligations,” Hill saidin a letter to Binga-man. “This provisionis absolutely essentialto America’s workingmen and women, andIBEW support for theclimate change bill iscontingent upon inclu-sion of this language.”

“Our nation mustlead, but we must becertain that our tradingpartners follow,” said

a letter to Bingaman from the Boilermak-ers union. “Otherwise, domestic indus-tries that must compete in the globaleconomy would be unfairly disadvan-taged and the goal of global emissionsreductions unmet.”

Coal-burning generating plants are thelifeblood of AEP, one of the largest elec-tric utilities in the United States. Whiledelivering electricity to more than 5 mil-lion customers in 11 states, 80 percent ofAEP’s load is coal. AEP is the biggest coalconsumer in the Western Hemisphere.

“AEP is not sticking its head in thesand,” Hunter said. “They are saying thatglobal warming needs to be addressed,and the sooner the better. They don’t wantto have a situation that is detrimental totheir consumers and the U.S. economy.”

This proposal is not the only actionAEP has taken to reduce its carbon foot-print. Over the past 10 years, it hasundertaken several voluntary actions toreduce its greenhouse gas emissions by31 million metric tons by planting trees,adding wind power, increasing powerplant generating efficiency and retiringless efficient units.

“The United States may be a latecomerto the worldwide discussion on globalwarming, but I am proud that the IBEWand one of our employers are among thefirst to propose a proactive, realistic solu-tion,” President Hill said. “I am heartenedthat so many on Capitol Hill are taking ahard look at our proposal.” 1

It is becoming a common problem. Jer-sey City, N.J., Local 164 will end up losing500 journeymen to retirement in the nextfew years according to Business ManagerRichard Dressel, while in the utility indus-try Calgary, Alberta, Local 254 BusinessManager John Briegel is facing a similarproblem as nearly 40 percent of his line-men close in on retirement age.

Many industry experts are predictingmajor skilled worker shortages acrossNorth America in the next 10 years thanksto the looming retirement of the babyboom generation; shortages that are loom-ing over the construction and powerindustry. The graying of the electricalworkforce, the shortage of new recruits toapprenticeship programs, and growingenergy demands are leading to what theNJATC Executive Director MichaelCallanan has described as a “perfect stormthat’s about to hit North America.”

The Crunch in ConstructionIn construction the squeeze is just start-

ing to be felt. According to the U.S. Bureauof Labor Statistics, by the year 2014 the

need for electrical workers will riseto more than 734,000—nearly 80,000more than currently working thefield—while the number of graduat-ing journeymen each year will notkeep up with the expected rates of

retirement. “Contractors will be forced tocompete for a reduced pool of workers inthe future, which will only keep gettingsmaller,” Callanan said. Canada is also fac-ing a similar shortage crisis as most of theiractive work force will reach retirement agewithin the next 10 years.

While the widespread use of travelershad kept projects moving in hot marketslike Las Vegas, the construction boom willmake the demand for skilled workersharder to meet. “The time is coming whenthe cumulative effects of retirements andyears of small apprenticeship classes are

going to leave us without enough skilledhands,” said International President EdwinD. Hill at the Construction and Mainte-nance Conference last spring.

While not every construction local isfacing immediate crisis, many locals see itcoming up on the horizon. “Right now it’snot having a significant impact every-where, but we’re seeing signs that it’s sooncoming most places,” said IBEW Construc-tion and Maintenance Director Mark Ayers.

Labor shortages appear to be moreserious and severe in those regions—largely the South and Southwest—that arenow dominated by nonunion contractorsas compared to the areas where construc-tion unions have remained relativelystrong. “Where building trades unionsmaintain significant market share, con-struction still remains a viable and attrac-tive career offering good wages andbenefit for young people. But where con-struction unions have been marginalized,wages have declined, conditions haveeroded, and construction is a less rationalcareer choice for talented new entrants inthe labor force. Declining levels of union-ization thus contribute to skilled laborshortages,” said Jeff Grabelsky, a facultymember of Cornell University’s School ofIndustrial Relations, and a 25-year memberof Syracuse, NY., Local 43.

New York Local 3, which retains astrong marketshare and provides its mem-bers with competitive wages and benefits,has not had a problem recruiting newapprentices. “When we accept applicationsfor apprenticeships, the line to apply goesdown the block,” said Local 3 BusinessRepresentative Ray West. “We often haveup to 10,000 applicants for 600 apprentice-ship spots.”

The expansion of nonunion construc-tion over the last 30 years stripped muchof the wage and benefits levels, not tomention the public respect that used tocome with electrical construction work.

From 1965 to 1990, the electrical construc-tion work force almost tripled in size,while IBEW membership remained almostunchanged. With the pay differentialbetween union and nonunion electricianstopping 17 percent, nonunion contractorsare having a hard time recruiting newworkers. “The nonunion outfits just don’thave the same level of wages and benefits.Kids today don’t want to do hard work foronly $9 an hour. When you take out thegood wages and benefits, like thenonunion places do, you take half of thereason for anyone to go into the trade,”said Norristown, Pa., Local 380 BusinessManager Kenneth MacDougall.

In some locations—like CorpusChristi—nonunion contractors will offermore per hour than contractors with signa-tory agreements in an attempt to undercutthe union but do not provide employeebenefits, making it a poor long-term careerchoice for most workers.

Nonunion contractors have also fallenshort when it comes to recruitment andtraining. While representing under half ofthe market, the IBEW and NECA operatemore than 80 percent of all apprenticeshipprograms.

The increased emphasis of schools oncollege prepatory classes has led manyparents, students and teachers to over-look careers in the trades. Constructionnow ranks near the bottom of careerchoices among high school students withthe number of high students taking tradeor industry related vocational coursesdown 35 percent.

“The image of the industry is horrible.It is seen by most people as dirty,unskilled and cyclical. The general publichas no conception of what this industry isall about,” said Peter Cockshaw, publisherof Cockshaw’s Construction Labor Newsand Opinion, and long time constructionindustry analyst.

Deregulation DisasterIn utilities the skilled worker crunch is

even more pressing. “It’s going to behuge. In the next five to 10 years, 60 per-cent of the work force will be eligible toretire,” said Seattle Local 77 Business Man-ager Don Guillot. A study released byCarnegie Mellon University in March 2005found that demand for entry level electriclineworkers is expected to grow by 9 per-cent every year, much more than is cur-rently entering the trade, gravelythreatening the health of the continent’selectrical supply. “It is possible to end upwith a scenario where some utilities areoperating like utilities in third world coun-tries. They won’t have a sufficient numberof qualified people to operate them,“ saidSteven Kussman, executive director of theUtility Business Education Coalition.

The main culprit behind the utilityworker shortage has been energy deregu-lation. “Because of deregulation, theindustry changed its focus from coordina-tors to competitors, with a concern forimmediate profits rather than reliability,”said Jack Casazza, president of the Ameri-can Education Institute. Since deregulationwas instituted over 10 years ago in differ-ent parts of North America, the utilityindustry eliminated most worker trainingprograms, reducing their staff by up to 30percent and all but freezing new hiring. “Itgoes back to deregulation. One of the firstthings that went was training and recruit-ment because it can be a huge cost,” Guil-lot said. “They cut a big hole in thetraining pipeline and now with the babyboomers about to retire you have noworkers in line to replace them,”

Cost-cutting led many companies to cut

The coming retirement ofthe baby boomers from theelectrical industry poses achallenge to the IBEW—notonly out in the field but at thelocal union hall. As a newgeneration of business man-agers takes office across thecountry, many are oftenforced into their new rolewith little preparation or sup-port.

“A lot of new businessmanagers come straight out of the field and when they are elected are justhanded the keys to the office and that’s it,” said West Frankfort, Ill., Local 702Business Manager Paul Noble. The IBEW’s Education Department sponsored aweek long pilot training last October—held at the National Labor College in SilverSpring, Md.,—for new business managers. For four days, 18 participants fromacross North America learned the nuts and bolts of what it takes to be a businessmanager—from knowing what is expected of them as outlined in the IBEW Con-stitution to the basics of collective bargaining. “We had one section where we didmock bargaining and half the class played the management role and the other the

union,” Noble said.“Everyone really gotinto it, it was very trueto life.”

The second week ofthe training, held inApril, provided moreskills-building, includingforming a local politicalaction committee anddeveloping good mediarelations.

“The skills you learnin the training are needed to make it through the challenging first couple ofmonths in office,” said Casper, Wyo., Local 322 Business Manager CharlesDockham.

Based on the success of the initial training, the program will become manda-tory for all new business managers. The first session—which will focus onnewly elected business managers in the Tenth District—will be held at the Chat-tanooga, Tenn., Local 175 training center this summer. Trainings for other partsof country are also being planned. 1

back on necessary maintenance, makingan aged system increasingly vulnerable tofailure, creating even more of a need forskilled workers. Consumers are alreadypaying for this lack of maintenance as thewait time to fix downed power linesgrows. After an ice storm hit central Illi-nois last November, almost half of the cus-tomers who lost power were still withoutelectricity five days later. In Los AngelesLocal 18 Business Manager Brian D’Arcy ispredicting widespread outages this sum-mer unless the local utility can find moreworkers.

Those workers who are still in theindustry are often inundated with over-time, testing their endurance in order tokeep up with the increased demand fortheir labor. Five New Jersey IBEW localswent on strike against Jersey CentralPower and Light in 2004 over contract lan-guage that would have required them toremain on call 24 hours a day.

“These are just Band-Aid fixes. Eventu-ally that person is not going to continue towork 1,000 hours of overtime a year. Theyare just trying to prolong the inevitable,”said IBEW Utility Department Director JimHunter.

While the utilities have cut back on their work force, power generation hasincreased by more than 30 percent accord-ing to a study by the Carnegie Mellon Uni-versity Electricity Industry Center, a figurelikely to go up.

Meeting the Challenge Hunter says that some utilities have

finally begun to do some hiring, but it hasbeen uneven thanks to the shortage ofskilled utility workers. “Traditionally it wasthe company that did the recruiting andhiring, but many have dropped theirresponsibility for it in the last few years,”Hunter said. “Most of the companies stilldo not want to face up to the fact they arecoming up on a crisis.”

The response by the construction

industry has so far been slow. “The wholeindustry is so stuck on looking at the shortterm. It’s like they don’t even want to talkabout what is going to be happening infive years, preferring to think about thenext five minutes instead,” said San Mateo,Calif., Local 617 Training Director KathleenBarber.

With a few exceptions, state and fed-eral leadership has also been absent. TheBush administration, instead of fundingnew programs to recruit apprentices, hasslashed worker training programs, strip-ping funds from the Workplace InvestmentAct, which provides federal support forstate programs to offer services for adults,laid-off workers and youth. “Governmentleadership on this issue has been prettymuch nonexistent,” Cockshaw said.

The worker shortage might mean fullemployment for those currently in theindustry but it remains a major long-termthreat to the future ability of the IBEW togrow. “You might think this seems like agood problem to have—but it is not. Everycustomer whose needs we can’t meet is acustomer that will go elsewhere—and willbe hard to get back, ” Hill said.

Already, some contractors and utilitieshave responded by hiring semi-skilledworkers or importing foreign labor.

“The labor shortage means that thestate usually looks the other way whencontractors bring on unlicensed workers,”Carranco said. Immigration legislationbefore Congress will increase the numberof skilled workers that are allowed intoUnited States each year. In the Canadianprovince of Alberta nonunion contractorshave convinced the federal government tolet them bring in temporary foreign work-ers as way to bypass the union—using thepredicted labor shortage as an excuse.

“There are still a lot of people whodon’t believe the numbers, but we couldlose market share in a booming economybecause we can’t staff the jobs,” Callanansaid.

“The International (Office) really needsto take the lead, but it is in the local areawhere the most work needs to be done,”Cockshaw said. And much of that involvesa proactive approach by the IBEW to pro-mote skilled electrical work as a careeroption. “What we got to do is make theindustry attractive,“ Cockshaw said. “Whenwe actually sit down and explain whatgoes into it, people are amazed.”

“We offer careers, not jobs. A job issomething temporary,” Ayers said. “Whenyou become an apprentice you and yourfamily are taken by the Brotherhood fromcradle to grave and we need to let peopleknow that.”

Web-based programs like Electric TVand Electrifying Careers—an online Website to promote careers in the industry—have played an important role in attractingnew apprentices. Many locals have insti-tuted innovative pre-apprenticeship pro-grams (See sidebar on page 24), andtraining schools to successfully attract newrecruits to the trade.

For Norristown, Pa., Local 380, one ofthe best ways to attract new members tothe trade is community outreach, particu-larly to students; even those years awayfrom graduation. “Just last week, we wentto a third-grade class to explain how aphotovoltaic device works,” MacDougallsaid. “People wondered why we weretalking to kids so young. It’s because wewant to get the kids looking at construc-tion as a career field at an early age. “Local380 has been a consistent presence in thelocal high schools and community col-leges, speaking with students at career dayevents and on other occasions to makesure they know the benefits that an IBEWcareer can offer. “We are talking about thebenefits that come with the job, which theparents like to hear,” MacDougall said.

Local 77 is planning a similar outreachprogram to the schools. “Next year we’regoing to start hitting grades K-12, and not

The coming labor shortage and continuing competitionfrom nonunion contractors have made recruiting a new gen-eration of workers one of the most pressing tasks for the

IBEW. One of more innovative

means of attracting newstudents to the trade hasbeen union-sponsored,community-based pre-apprenticeship programs.Mixing both classroom andon-the-job instruction,these programs offer anoverview of each trade,and training to prepare stu-dents to enter full-timeapprenticeships.

Jackson, Miss., Local480—working through the

Central Mississippi Building and Construction Trades Coun-cil—partnered with the city of Jackson this March to createthe Career Skills Training and Placement Program, a six-month pre-apprenticeship program meant to expose stu-dents to the building trades. According to the mayor’s chiefof staff, Marcus Ward, the program was developed to pro-duce enough skilled craftsmen to meet the city’s develop-ment boom and to provide real career opportunities for thecity’s unemployed youth population.

“We knew this program would be great because it couldkill two birds with one stone,” said Ward. “Getting unem-ployed youth off the streets and into a career and also creat-ing a steady stream of skilled workers for futuredevelopment.”

So far the program has placed 60 workers into pre-apprenticeship programs in the different trades. For thoseworkers who are interested in the program, but are academi-cally unprepared, the city provides remedial math and GEDprograms through a partnership with the local community col-lege. And interest is growing. According to Local 480 BusinessManager John Smith, attendance at the program’s monthlyorientation meetings has tripled since the program started.

“You’ve got a city with a big drug and unemploymentproblem, so what’s a better way to put these kids to workthan by attracting them to the trades,” said Mississippi AFL-CIO President Robert Shaffer.

San Mateo, Calif., Local 617 recently wrapped up thefirst six-week pilot version of their pre-apprenticeship pro-gram, the Building Futures program. The program—fundedthrough a grant from the San Mateo County WorkforceInvestment Board—was created to expose young peoplein the 18-25 age range who are chroni-cally underemployed or stuck in no-future low-wage jobs. Students takeclasses in communications, math,labor history, and social skills to pre-pare them for an apprenticeship. “Wewant to develop the social and devel-opment skills of those underem-ployed, those disenfranchised fromthe job pool and get them excitedabout the IBEW as a career,” saidLocal 617 Training Director KathleenBarber. Out of the initial 15 attendees,five applied to become electricians.Happy with the results, the local isplanning to start the full 26-week intro-ductory program in September.

In Washington, Seattle Local 77has developed a joint pre-apprentice-ship program with the City of Seattleto meet the growing need for linemenin the Pacific Northwest. Studentswho are accepted into the six-monthlineworker pre-apprentice program getinstruction and training to advance into the lineworkerapprenticeship program. Students who achieve high marksin the program can be credited up to six months towardstheir apprenticeship. “I’m tickled to death by its success,”said Local 77 Business Manager Don Guillot. “There is anew work force coming up, and we are letting them knowabout a career path that offers good wages and good benefits.” 1

just on career day, so we can tell littleJohnny what a career in utility wouldrequire and what they need to do to getready for it,” Guillot said.

Callanan believes that attracting new

workers to the industry is closely linkedwith the IBEW’s organizing efforts to winback market share. Ayers agrees. “Wehave to take a two-pronged approach.Get the best apprentices you can andrecruit the best electricians from thenonunion sites.”

For Local 380, their outreach hasalready paid off in winning overnonunion electricians. “We’re getting a lotof apprenticeship applications from peo-

ple with three and four years experiencein the industry already,” MacDougall said.“The word has definitely gotten out. “

The demonstrated success of unionapprenticeships programs, in addition tothe better wages and benefits that comewith union construction, is more likely toattract new apprentices to the tradeaccording to Callanan, and many industryobservers agree. “The ingredients to (fix-

If you’re a sportsman or -woman, youknow the money and effort is worth itfor the heart pumping sensation of tak-ing aim for the trophy animal or reelingin a monster fish. As a member of theIBEW, you can now experience a newadrenaline rush—the kind that comeswith finding new places to hunt and fish,saving money on gear and services, andracking up a host of other benefits.

The IBEW, along with seven otherleading trade unions and the AFL-CIO,joined forces with the Theodore RooseveltConservation Partnership (TRCP) to pro-vide start-up funding for the Union Sports-

man’s Alliance (USA), a one-of-a-kind,hunting and fishing club, exclusively forunion workers and their families.

You can join the USA now for anannual fee of $25 and receive a personal-ized membership card, auto and hard hatdecals, chances to win outdoor gear andservices, and the latest hunting and fishingtips and techniques to perfect your skills.Plus, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate forpurchases from Beretta USA’s field mer-chandise selection and a one-year sub-scription to a top outdoor magazine…soyour membership is practically free!

And the benefits don’t stop there.

Some say it’s crazy to rise at 5 am and hike to a tree stand incomplete darkness, to stand sun up to sun down in a cold creekwaiting for a tug on the line, to spend hundreds of dollars onwarm boots, the latest Realtree camouflage, arrows, bullets,lures and line.

An independent, scientific huntingand fishing survey, which IBEW partici-pated in, revealed that of the 20 AFL-CIOtrade unions that support the USA,approximately 3.2 million members hunt,fish and enjoy the outdoors.

Through the USA, these millions ofunion sportsmen can connect with theirunion brothers and sisters across NorthAmerica who share their passion for hunt-ing and fishing, through a dynamic USAwebsite (www.UnionSportsmen.org).Using your personal USA member num-ber, you too can access the Members-Only section of the website to find placesto hunt and fish, discover the latest news,tips and techniques, share photos, andbuy, sell or trade gear.

USA members can also stay informedabout legislation affecting hunting andfishing in America through a free mem-bership in the TRCP, a coalition of thenation’s leading conservation organiza-tions, labor unions and individualsworking together to preserve the tradi-tions of hunting and fishing.

“The union means more than a fairday’s work for a fair day’s pay. It means ahigher quality of life. If the majority ofIBEW workers spend their free time hunt-ing and fishing, we’re proud to offer aprogram that helps them better enjoy theactivities that define their lifestyle,” saidIBEW International Secretary-TreasurerJon F. Walters.

A Great OrganizationRETIREES CLUB OF L.U. 1, ST.

LOUIS, MO—Retirees were treatedto the annual Cardinals’ baseballgame outing at Busch Stadium May9. Motor coaches were provided fortransportation. What a treat it was, abeautiful day, a large crowd—andthe Cardinals beat Colorado 9-2.

At this writing we were lookingforward to our annual golf tourna-ment on May 21, 2007. In April weenjoyed the luncheon and musicalentertainment given by the LadiesAuxiliary. It was a very nice affair atthe union hall. I can’t say enough forthe dedication of the Lady’s Auxil-iary. Their crafts, spring and Christ-mas luncheons, and contributions to

the Local 1 Relief Committee aretremendous.

At the Dec. 13, 2006, Christmasparty, the Ladies Auxiliary presentedto Local 1 Bus. Mgr. Stephen P.Schoemehl a check for $8,000 tobenefit the Relief Committee. Since1988, the Ladies Auxiliary hasdonated $57,000 to the Relief Com-mittee to support our members inneed. This annual donation is aresult of the ladies’ hard work anddedication to the sick, disabled andneedy members as well as anyretirees who have fallen on difficulttimes.

ing the labor shortage) are better work-ing conditions, higher pay and moretraining,” wrote Industry Week maga-zine in 2005.

In order to meet the utility workershortage, many universities working inpartnership with the IBEW have begun

to offer on-site training programswhich provide both job training andcollege credit. For example in Washing-ton, Local 77 has for the last two yearspartnered with Centralia College torecruit and train a new generation ofutility workers, in addition to their pre-apprenticeship programs.

The labor crunch poses a majorchallenge to the IBEW but it also posesan opportunity to win back marketshare. “Given the heightened demand,it makes sense to step up organizing.

The labor shortage gives it leverage fororganizing in these markets, somethingthe IBEW is already doing in places likeFlorida,” Grabelsky said.

“We are in there slugging and readyto face the future,” President Hill said.“Our place in that future will be secureif we have that vision and the courageto do what needs to be done—orga-nize, recruit, compete for the work andcontinue to be the best trained, hardestworking, most skilled tradesmen andwomen we can possibly be.” 1
