BUSINESS MANAGER’ S
REPORT
From Lou Antonellis Business Manager / Financial Secretary IBEW Local 103
Brothers and Sisters, I was pleased to see so many of you enjoying a beautiful day at Fenway Park. It feels great to be able to celebrate our favorite summer pastimes with friends and family. Union Night at Fenway Park (page 14) on June 12 was a huge hit, a truly great family day at our beloved ballpark. Later in June, we enjoyed our second annual Drive-In Movie Night (page 17) at Local 103, a silver lining of the pandemic turned into a lasting tradition. It is the perfect metaphor for the adaptability and resiliency of IBEW Local 103! Despite all the fun we’ve had over the past couple of months, IBEW Local 103 professionalism prevails above all else. We remain hard at work, with a promising outlook for the market and work opportunities. One Congress Street at Bulfinch Crossing celebrated its topping-off ceremony (page 10), but we look forward to the ramp-up of many other projects, including a massive redevelopment in Kenmore Square, Union Square in Somerville and GLX, among others. In addition to our aggressive and strategic pursuit of responsible community development over the last several years, IBEW Local 103 is focusing on prefabrication. We are proud to have negotiated prefab language in our last round of negotiations with NECA. Prefabrication is nothing new; it’s been around for years, and it creates more jobs for our members and increases efficiency and safety on construction sites.
to get this bill passed, in light of the historic strides it will make toward revitalizing our nation’s roads, bridges, transit and energy systems, and what will likely equate to millions of work hours for our IBEW members over the next two decades. The bill addresses, in part, our nation’s urgent need to transition to clean energy sources, and also calls for higher corporate taxation as means of financing. IBEW Local 103 remains committed to building back better after this pandemic, and a crucial part of that vision is to build a stronger middle class through a more sustainable and equitable economy. We’re proud to take a step in the right direction within our own electrical construction industry, with the announcement of our new Empower DEI program (page 4), designed to support new and emerging minority-owned and women-owned electrical contracting businesses in the Greater Boston area. By working together, we can make this economy work for all of us, and make sure everyone has the opportunities afforded by a rewarding career in the IBEW. Fraternally, Lou Antonellis
Equally promising is President Biden’s new, Bi-partisan Infrastructure Framework (page 6), which officially passed in the Senate and is expected to be taken up by the House by the end of September. The IBEW fought

EMPOW HEADERER DEI
For far too long, the union construction industry has been held back by rampant racism and sexism, barring many of our neighbors from the opportunity of a great, family-sustaining career. This summer, in our ongoing efforts to build a more equitable construction industry and local economy, IBEW Local 103 and NECA Greater Boston contractors announced our newest Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, the Empower DEI Program. After years dedicated to diversifying the ranks of our union membership and apprenticeship programs, IBEW Local 103 and NECA are taking another step in the right direction. Empower DEI is a first-of-its-kind program aimed at increasing the number of minorityowned and women-owned union electrical contracting businesses in Greater Boston by providing the support, resources, and mentorship necessary to thrive in the competitive construction industry. The Empower DEI Program hopes to spark innovation and entrepreneurial success among participants by providing various forms of support from experienced industry leaders. In addition to giving individuals the foothold to create their own businesses and support their families, the Empower DEI Program will ultimately serve to create lasting, generational wealth by helping even the playing field for communities of color and build a stronger middle class. Congratulations to IBEW Local 103’s former Business Agent, Kenell Broomstein, who stands as the program’s first participant as the principal of her newly-founded electrical contracting company, KB Mac Inc, a partnership with Sullivan & McLaughlin Companies, Inc. IBEW Local 103 and NECA Greater Boston are committed to dismantling structural racism and sexism within our industry and beyond. To learn more about the program, visit EmpowerDEI.com.

HEADER LAUNCH DIVERSITY INITIATIVE As published in:
By Catherine Carlock | June 29, 2021 Electrical union IBEW Local 103 and the National Electrical Contractors Association are partnering to launch an equity and diversity initiative aimed at growing the number of minority- and women-owned union contractor businesses in Greater Boston. The program, called Empower DEI, aims to combine advanced electrical contracting training with mentorship, resources and support for NECA contractors and IBEW Local 103 electricians looking to open their own businesses. The initiative comes at a time when the region’s building boom continues its unprecedented gallop, as well as at a time of greater calls for diversifying a traditionally white male-dominated industry. Indeed, public agencies like the Massachusetts Port Authority have called for increased participation by Minorityand Women-Owned Business Enterprises in responses to their real-estate projects, with other projects like Harvard’s Enterprise Research Campus also calling for greater participation. “This is an exciting, necessary initiative to empower communities who have been underrepresented in business ownership. A labor-management partnership is the right approach to increase the number of woman and minority-owned contractors in Boston,” said Acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey. “Women and people of color have made this great City what it is. The IBEW 103 & NECA Empower DEI Program creates a pathway to uplift this work and strengthen our communities.”

BIPARTIS AN INFRASTR UCTURE FRAMEWO RK The Senate passed the $1 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework — negotiated by President Joe Biden — which is officially the largest U.S. investment in infrastructure in nearly a century. The Senate first approved the bill by a 69-30 vote on August 10. It now goes to the House for a vote. The passage of this bill would be a huge win for the new Biden administration, for Democrats and Republicans, and above all, for the hardworking members of IBEW Local 103 and other building trades unions, who can expect hundreds of thousands, or even millions of new work hours in the pipeline. Thanks to IBEW President Lonnie Stephenson and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh for incorporating union-friendly language into the bill! America is the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, yet we rank only 13th in terms of infrastructure. Through this framework, President Biden plans to modernize the electrical grid, expand access to broadband internet, and invest in and electrify the transportation sector, which includes public passenger rail, ports, roads, bridges and airports.
$110 billion toward new and repaired roads, bridges and highways $66 billion for new and repaired passenger and freight rail $65 billion for major upgrades to the nation’s power grid $55 billion to replace all lead pipes and solve contaminated water supply issues $7.5 billion to build a network of electrical vehicle charging stations
IBEW Local 103 applauds the Biden Administration, U.S. Congress, and all our allies in creating this historic initiative. Let’s get to work!

PRE-FAB WORK
Prefabrication is on the rise in the electrical industry, as we continue to innovate and streamline our trade, and IBEW Local 103 is proud to be forging ahead as a leader in this growing sector. Prefabrication, or assembling materials off-site then transporting them onto a job for faster installation, helps keep our projects on time and under budget. IBEW Local 103 and our NECA contractors have 18 prefabrication shops, and growing, across eastern Massachusetts. We are proud to offer our clients the highest-quality prefab services: • More efficient job sites with faster completion • Safer job sites with fewer hazards • Increased adaptability to changes • Reduced carbon footprint • Locally sourced by the best-trained professionals Due to a loophole in prevailing wage laws, some contractors have been able to misclassify and short change prefabrication workers at offsite facilities. As a growing amount of work moves offsite, it became more important than ever to ensure workers receive the wages they deserve. While IBEW Local 103 continues lobbying legislators to close the prevailing wage loophole, we didn’t wait to take matters into our own hands. In our most recent, historic contract with our NECA partners, we are proud to have added language that guarantees protections for IBEW Local 103 pre-fabrication work, specifically. Don’t miss our new ads highlighting the unparalleled prefabrication expertise of IBEW Local 103 professionals:

V I C TO R Y !
FIGHTING RIGHT TO WORK IN NEW HAMPSHIRE On June 3, the New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected an anti-union “right to work” bill (SB61) that would have undermined unions by cutting off critical funding from the workers they represent. This legislation has now been indefinitely postponed, effectively giving workers a win! This important victory, for both New Hampshire’s working families and labor across New England, comes off the heels of the strategic “NH Families for Freedom” campaign, organized by IBEW Local 103, the New Hampshire Building Trades Council, and a coalition of New Hampshire local unions. IBEW Local 103 applauds the legislature for recognizing the havoc that “right to work” laws create on the middle class and doing the right thing. Congratulations to IBEW Local 103’s New Hampshire members, their families, and to everyone who contributed to this major success and showing of union fortitude.

Congratulations and welcome to the newest apprentices of the Boston JATC! This year, we swore 350 new tradespeople into our industryleading training program. IBEW Local 103 is thrilled to open our doors to another bright and capable apprentice class and to continue building our industry’s future workforce. These new apprentices have taken the first step towards lifelong security, available through a familysustaining career with IBEW Local 103. Over the past several years, we have begun to make great strides towards a more diverse program, and this year was no different; over 31% of our new apprentices are people of color and more than 6% are women. We know this incoming class will do great things within our union and our community, and we’re excited to see where each new member's electrical industry journey takes them. 8

RENEE DOZIER
BUSINESS AGENT
IBEW Local 103 congratulates Reneeleona Dozier-Holland for her recent appointment to the post of Business Agent. Renee ascends to the new role to replace former Business Agent Kenell Broomstein, who launched her own union electrical contracting company. Over the past two decades, Renee has served as a dedicated, active member of our union and a skilled journeyperson. We are thrilled to see her rise to an official leadership position, after playing an integral role in IBEW Local 103’s historic organizing campaign at Encore Casino. Dozier’s journey with IBEW Local 103 began in 2000, when she assisted with summer work before beginning her 5-year JATC apprenticeship the following year. She was introduced to the union by her father and uncle, who were members themselves. Renee is no stranger to hard work. Throughout her journey, she faced many obstacles on her path to supporting herself and her family but approached them with faith, determination and resourcefulness. “There’s nothing in the world that you can’t be, do, or have,” Dozier said. Renee continues to pave the way for other tradeswomen, and has already taken on a key role leading the IBEW Local 103 Women’s Committee, and launching a new IBEW Local 103 Mentorship Program. We are excited to see her continue reaching new heights as Business Agent. Congratulations, Renee!

TOPPIN G OFF On July 15, IBEW Local 103 members and officers joined industry leaders, city officials and fellow trade unions in celebrating the topping-off ceremony of the One Congress Street tower. IBEW Local 103 Business Manager/Financial Secretary Lou Antonellis spoke at the ceremony – which marks the completion of the tallest office tower built in over three decades – about the importance of union jobs as we build back this city, and economy. “The American Dream is to make a living, feed your family, and go home safely at night, and no one does it better than the Boston Building Trades Unions,” said Antonellis. One Congress is the anchor of the Bulfinch Crossing redevelopment project designed to transform downtown Boston. Standing at 43 stories and 600feet tall, One Congress tower will become the newest fixture of the Boston skyline. This project represents the lively commerce that Boston continues to attract despite setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic. IBEW Local 103 played a crucial role in the construction of this tower with many of our members, plus hundreds of members from our fellow building trade unions, working on this project from start to finish. NECA Greater Boston’s executive manager Kristen Gowin said at the ceremony, “One Congress is not only transforming the Boston skyline, but it’s transforming the way that we are approaching projects in the Greater Boston area.” 10

MI K E MYER S IS
CROSS COUNTR Y FOR A CURE
Just one month into his new job at McDonald Electrical Corporation, IBEW Local 103 member Mike Myers was moved to embark on a journey for a cause much larger than himself. After learning that a fellow co-worker, Leo Cooney, had been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease”) Myers decided to put his love for cycling to good use and prepared to embark on a cross-country bike ride to raise awareness and research funding, in honor of Leo. Mike crushed his goal of raising $103,000 for ALS ONE! ALS ONE is a partnership of world-leading ALS researchers, clinicians, and care providers from MGH, UMass Medical, ALS TDI, and CCALS who have united to expedite therapeutic treatments and an ultimate cure for the disease, while providing support and equipment to individuals currently living with ALS.
Since his diagnosis in September 2017, Leo Cooney has defied the odds, outliving his initial prognosis by over three years. In addition to being a skilled electrician and dedicated IBEW Local 103 member, Cooney is a football fanatic known for his contagious sense of humor, loyalty to his loved ones, and his magnetism. Mike’s desire to make a difference illustrates the nature of what makes IBEW Local 103 so strong, and we are proud to have him on our team. Myers finished his ride in late August, and his IBEW Local 103 brothers and sisters were thrilled to welcome him home at a union hall gathering.
On Wednesday, June 16, Myers embarked upon his bike journey in Astoria, Oregon. He finished his ride in his longtime hometown of Marshfield, Massachusetts, after biking a total of nearly 4,000 miles through 14 states. On average, Myers cycled 60-75 mph per day, spending about 8-12 hours on his bike. Upon completion of his trip, Mike has officially now biked through 45 of the 50 U.S. states. 103

IBEW Local 103 was thrilled to continue our historic partnership with the Boston Red Sox this year, and to reunite at Fenway Park for another fun-filled Union Night celebration! After last year’s event was canceled due to COVID-19, this was one of our union’s first events together since social distancing measures were lifted. An IBEW Local 103 barbeque reception kicked off the day, followed by the game against the Toronto Blue Jays. IBEW Local 103 Business Manager/Financial Secretary Lou Antonellis, President Bob Sheehan and Executive Manager of NECA Kristen Gowin took the field for the ceremonial first pitch. Spirits were sky high all night (despite what ended in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays). As union electricians, we have helped light up Fenway Park for more than a century. We were pleased to once again have IBEW Local 103 members and their families come together in a ballpark that we are such a part of, and that is such a part of this city.

HABITAT FOR HUMAN ITY The electrical trade knowledge we gain as IBEW Local 103 electricians and technicians lasts a lifetime. So does the security of good wages and benefits, and the sense of duty and community we share in being able to give back our expertise to those less fortunate. Essex-county-based IBEW Local 103 retirees, Kenny Artz, Frank Lonergan, Bill Mahoney, and Donnie Miller, never slowed down since their retirement. Like many of our retirees, they never even put down their tool belts! Instead, joined by
Bill Mahoney’s son, Ryan Mahoney, the group gives back their time each week volunteering for various Habitat for Humanity jobs in their district. Below are just a few projects in Lawrence alone. The crew also recently serviced Habitat for Humanity’s discount home goods store, “ReStore,” and a local vocational kitchen in the city. IBEW Local 103 thanks and applauds this group, and all our members who use their craft to lift up our communities! Great work!

ANGELA NOENIC KX
Angela Noenickx (front right) and other members of the IBEW Local 103 Women’s Committee worked on a Habitat For Humanity build this May
Boston JATC instructor Angela Noenickx does it all “for the kids.” Since 1994, Noenickx has worked as an instructor at the Joint Apprentice Training Center (JATC), starting on a part-time basis teaching night classes after working in the field as an electrician during the day. This past year, Noeknickx transitioned to full-time teaching. Although the adjustment to fulltime classroom training was made more difficult due to COVID-19, Noenickx appreciated the change of pace and makes sure to keep in touch with her colleagues, and students that have long since graduated. “I have a million phone numbers just from being out in the field with the kids,” Noenickx said. “Some of them could be older than me and I still call them kids.” Noenickx joined IBEW Local 103 as an apprentice herself in 1986, following in the footsteps of her brother, Herbie. Back then, classroom training only took place at night, and many instructors also worked out in the field during the day. Noenickx believes the opportunity to work with apprentices both on the field and in the classroom is what allowed her to really get to know her pupils, and learn how to best support them.

“The apprenticeship program is set up like a mentoring program,” Noenickx explained. “You're working underneath journeymen or maybe [JATC] upperclassmen, who are teaching you what they know. We all share our knowledge. We all help each other. We make sure each other is safe.” For many of the apprentices, the training program can be some of the most challenging five years of their lives. It’s not easy showing up to work and class early every day, rain or shine, and that challenge makes graduation even sweeter. “The most rewarding thing is just seeing them make it,” Noenickx said. “Seeing them finish the program. When they get their licenses...it's a big deal. A lot of the outside world doesn't understand how important it is to us. Sometimes I'll have kids call me because they couldn't get ahold of their parents and they needed to call someone right away.” Great work, Angela, and thank you for helping so many members get to the finish line!

FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT On June 26, IBEW Local 103 hosted our second annual Drive-In Movie Night at the union hall. What started as a safe, socially-distanced way of bringing people together during COVID-19, has already become a family-favorite event! Members and their families got to test their gaming skills on XBOX One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch before viewing the big-screen, feature presentation, the classic 1993 film, The Sandlot, along with some movie snacks. In The Sandlot, Scotty, a dorky fifth-grader who’s new in town, starts hanging out with a group of baseball-playing neighborhood kids — even though he can barely chuck a ball. The film follows their adventures throughout the summer of 1962, including a showdown with the fearsome ‘Beast’ that lives over the left-field fence. Thank you to all who joined us for this fun-filled night!
