The Business Manager's Report

Rick Werner President/Business Manager

Navigating Change and Building our Future

As we stand at the threshold of a new era with an economy that’s anything but predicable, I find it fitting to reflect on the past several years and acknowledge the unwavering dedication each of you has displayed through thick and thin. Our collective journey has seen both prosperous times and challenging moments, and I am immensely proud of how our Union has weathered the storms together. Looking back, the last several years has been a testament to your hard work and commitment to excellence. Prior to the pandemic, our members experienced busy work hours, contributing not only to personal livelihoods but also to the overall success of our Union. However, the landscape shifted, and we’ve recently faced higher unemployment and fewer hours due to post-pandemic economic conditions. In the graph, since 2016 (when we merged with District 3), our hours collectively have been between nearly nine million hours to nearly 10.5 million hours at the height in 2019.

It’s important to recognize that our work hours are not just a measure of productivity; they are the lifeblood of our pension and healthcare plans. The challenges brought on by the pandemic have impacted our ability to maintain the same level of work hours, but your resilience and dedication have remained constant.

Despite the challenges, I am pleased to share that our pension plans have maintained stability,

thanks to the prudent management of our resources. The stock market and overall economic conditions have played a crucial role in ensuring steady returns for 2023, allowing us to keep our pension percentage funded and secure.

The cover story of this newsletter is truly a reflection of why it’s important to get involved in our Campaign for Jobs program. The Berkeley Commons project was a multi-year endeavor in the City of Berkeley to make a reality. In having a commitment from the developer to build this project all Union, we stood by them through City Commission and Council meetings. Members turned out to come and speak at meetings and to show their support consistently. Now, we have members working for both Silicon Valley Mechanical and West Coast Architectural Sheet Metal on the project helping to bring this to life. Because of the Campaign for Jobs, members are actively working on this project.

It’s noteworthy to mention that the Mayor of Berkeley, Jesse Arreguin, played a pivotal role in helping to make this project a reality – along with our strong allies on Berkeley City Council. I bring up Mayor Arreguin in particular because he’s currently running for State Senate and is the grandson of a Local 104 member, Louis Fernandez. Mayor Arreguin has many groundbreaking accomplishments to support Local 104 members working in the city of Berkeley - including championing the HARD HATS Ordinance, a pioneering effort to apply construction labor standards on private projects exceeding 50,000 square feet, a first-of-its-kind ordinance in the

country. Mayor Arreguin has been a strong supporter of the citywide Project Labor Agreement in Berkeley - one of the most robust citywide PLAs within Local 104’s jurisdiction. His commitment to our membership is further demonstrated by ensuring that projects over eight stories in downtown Berkeley prioritize the skilled labor provided by our members in Local 104. This Primary Election cycle, Local 104 members have been busy walking and literature dropping for Jesse Arreguin – along with dozens of other working class champions who are going to support us when it comes time to helping secure future work hours.

Our Campaign for Jobs program is a vital pillar of our Union’s efforts to secure work opportunities for our members and signatory employers. The Berkeley Commons project demonstrates the tangible results that come from active involvement. In these challenging times, it is crucial for each member to participate and contribute to the success of our Campaign for Jobs. Together, we can help secure as many work hours as possible, ensuring the continued success of our Union.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all members who have actively engaged in helping get our working class champions elected into office. Your efforts in supporting individuals who understand and champion our cause make a significant impact on the decisions that shape our future. Your commitment to securing future work opportunities for our Union is truly commendable. As we move forward, let us continue to stand united, face challenges with resilience, and work collaboratively to build a future that ensures the prosperity of Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 104.

In solidarity, Rick Werner President/Business Manager

The Financial Secretary's Report

Mike Nesbitt Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ Recording Secretary

Updates to the Dues Receipt

Recently, it was brought to my attention by a retired member that the new dues receipt needed some important editing. The word “Customer” was used instead of “Member” erroneously, and the Classification for some members is listed as “unknown”.

As your Financial Secretary-Treasurer/Recording Secretary, I want to be clear with you, Local Union No. 104 is YOUR Union and we, as members, are not customers. I take full responsibility for the misprint and sincerely thank the member who brought this matter to my attention.

Since I was notified, the misprint has been corrected. We are currently in the process of correcting the classification as well. During the past nine years, we have done two major data migrations in JAMS. Unfortunately, we learned our prior system did not store classification history in a ‘readable’ format. Therefore, the data did not transfer the classification information to the new system. However, as I mentioned above, we are working on other ways to update the information as soon as possible.

BERKELEY IS UNION MADE

SILICON VALLEY MECHANICAL AT BERKELEY COMMONS

Local 104 members have been an important part of the driving force behind the Berkeley Commons project, a cornerstone of the East Bay’s blossoming life science community. Situated near the I-80 freeway at 600 Addison St., this project comprises two impressive three-story Research and Development buildings totaling 540k square feet (SF)—the Addison Building at 305k SF and the Bancroft Building at 234k SF. The Berkeley Commons symbolizes a commitment to sustainability with features like EV chargers and secure bike parking, but it also reflects a dedication to supporting working families and enriching local culture, revitalizing the traditionally industrial West Berkeley area it now calls home.

Beyond its physical presence, the Berkeley Commons project embodies values of craftsmanship and collaboration. Local 104 members have been steadfast champions since its inception, advocating for the project at City Council meetings through our Local 104 Campaign for Jobs. Due to the organizing and collaborating with fellow Building Trades Unions, political allies, and its developers, Berkeley Commons committed itself to using an allUnion workforce, including SMW 104 Contractors West Coast ASM and Silicon Valley Mechanical (SVM).

Silicon Valley Mechanical is a Design/Build contractor renowned for its expertise in Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), Architectural Sheet Metal, and

Controls. As proud signatories to Local 104, SVM’s commitment to excellence in construction is evident. Note: SVM was key in the construction of the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 East Bay JATC.

SVM’s piece in bringing Berkeley Commons to life was no small feat. They were entrusted with the core and shell work of the project, requiring them to install custom air handlers in the mechanical penthouses of both the Addison and Bancroft buildings. Additionally, they had to navigate the intricate installation of large double-stacked roof ducts and shafts across the expansive campus, complemented by multiple lab and garage exhaust fans. With approximately 15,000 total sheet metal hours dedicated to the project, the scale of their undertaking was monumental.

However, as with any ambitious project, challenges arose, including planning around the unpredictable Bay Area weather, disruptions in the supply chain, and unexpected site conditions. Yet, it was in overcoming these obstacles that the true strength of Union collaboration shone through. Local 104 members are skilled and trained in our craft, and our contractors take pride in their strategic planning, including adapting to a flexible schedule. Clear communication and unity among all involved were par-

amount in overcoming obstacles and ensuring support throughout the project. This collaborative spirit enabled SVM to navigate complexities seamlessly.

As we look back on our journey with the Berkeley Commons, we are reminded of the power of collaboration and the unwavering spirit of our Union workforce. The project is a testament to what can be achieved when Unions, contractors, and communities come together to pursue a common goal.

AMOUNT ENCLOSED:

The Importance of Voting for Labor-Endorsed Candidates! Vote Union Strong!

Our Campaign For Jobs actions have been a massive success across Local 104. This year, our members have a significant stake in electing labor-friendly candidates and re-electing working-class champions. These candidates directly impact the policies and legislation that shape working conditions, wages, and benefits. By supporting candidates prioritizing labor rights and protections, we can ensure our members’ voices are heard in the political arena.

Local 104 is no stranger to navigating the political landscapes across Central and Northern California. In a system where our members’ livelihoods are directly affected by decisions made at the dais, we know we must actively participate to continue building coalitions at all government levels. The importance of an active CFJ committee cannot be overstated. To be clear, Local 104 is a trusted volunteer force for our allies and champions, and we will continue that tradition proudly. Our participation is both about treading new ground and safeguarding the progress we’ve made from water districts, school boards, cities, to statewide policy. Every action we take is about hours, putting our members to work, and paving the way for the future of Local 104 Sheet Metal Workers and our labor family.

Thank you to every member who has stepped up to make Local 104 the go-to trade for bootson-the-ground action in many areas. If you want to get involved and know about future CFJ actions, contact your local dispatch office!

JATC UPDATES & Announcements

District 1 JATC Updates:

• The training program has hired Nick Colon as a new full time instructor. Nick comes to the program with an extensive background in service with a focus on Direct Digital Controls. Nick’s teaching experience as a part time instructor has allowed him to step right into the role.

• The training program is working with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to become a Department of Energy recognized Heat Pump Training Program. Currently only one training program across the country has been recognized. Once finalized, this will allow the training program to access grants for training through the Department of Energy.

DISTRICT 1 JATC COORDINATOR’S LIST

• ERiCA Grant Childcare Stipend – The Training Program is participating in the ERiCA Grant (Equal Representation in Construction Apprenticeship). The childcare stipend is an opportunity for childcare cost reimbursement to active apprentices. This stipend has a max opportunity of $10,000.00 per year of reimbursement. We currently have over 40 apprentices participating in this grant. This is a new grant and we are hopeful the DAS (Division of Apprenticeship Standards) and the State will maintain this in the following years.

The Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 and Bay Area Industry Training Fund (District 1) is proud to present the following list of Apprentices who have made the Coordinators’ List. This list represents Building Trades Sheet Metal, Building Trades Service, TAB, AC Specialist and Service Tech Apprentice Classifications. While we believe every one of our apprentices has the potential to be great, these are the apprentices who are trying to be on top of their game. With nearly one thousand Apprentices, 21% meet or surpass this criteria. We are confident that this number will grow as the Program continues to reinforce positive behaviors. We will continue to report out the names of high performance apprentices in future newsletters.

Criteria:

• Must maintain an 85% GPA or better

• Perfect class attendance for the previous advancement period.

• All OJT reports turned in on time for the previous advancement period.

• Must have received Employer Evaluations, no “Poor” marks and achieved a scoring of 23 or greater on the evaluations in the past advancement period.

Republican Assemblymembers Josh Hoover and Joe Patterson kicked off the event extending a warm welcome that emphasized the importance of working together to support hard working families and Union Sheet Metal Workers throughout California.

The California Republican Caucus is made up of State Legislators and Legislative Directors throughout the state of California who help shape laws and vote on issues that are important to us. Being able to host the Republican Caucus gave us the opportunity to give the Legislature more of an idea of the work we perform and for them to hear personal stories from Local 104 members in how the trade and Union has changed their lives for the better.

An aspect the Caucus found interesting was the partnership between our contractors and Union, illustrating the collective commitment with each member contributing to our training fund and how we administer the training centers jointly. We also

were able to talk about our legislative priorities –including prevailing wage on offsite fabrication, the importance of a skilled and trained workforce, the CalSHAPE program and the importance of Indoor Air Quality, and helping us expand future work hours to help us grow our apprenticeship programs.

Apprentice Anthony Gutierrez was a highlight for the members in attendance, and his real life story of becoming an apprentice and sharing about a day in the life of a Union Sheet Metal Worker had everyone intrigued. Anthony did a phenomenal job answering questions for those in attendance and represented the membership of Local 104 exceptionally well.

As the presentation wrapped up, Apprenticeship Training Administrator Alex Tiechner gave a guided tour of our training facility with several active classes in session. Having classes in session truly helped provide a visual representation of the work we perform and the Republican Caucus members were extremely impressed with the program. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to advocate and work collaboratively for the prosperity of our Local 104 membership!

RETIREE PROFILE

Julie the Revit-er

Julie Fifield - Retired 2014

Can you tell us a little about your background?

I was born in Alaska in 1959, the same year it became a state. It’s where I started my apprenticeship, with Local 23, in Anchorage, Alaska. Becoming a Sheet Metal Worker was my husband’s idea, he thought it would suit me well, and he turned out to be right.

When did you move to California? What kind of work did you end up doing for Local 104?

It was in 1987. I was still a second-year apprentice, so I got approval from my JATC to allow me to move here. I moved to San Rafael & went to work for Anderson Rowe & Buckley (AR&B) in San Francisco as a pre-apprentice. After a few months, I was taken into the program here and eventually was given credit for my two years in Local 23.

I worked in the shop throughout my apprenticeship, both here and in Alaska. Once I turned out, I went to the field,

where I was a foreman for 6 years before being offered the 1st CAD detailing position at AR&B. I detailed, or produced design-build drawings, for 18 years before retiring.

The only hesitation I had about detailing full-time was hand detailing the projects I ran, and whether I would be able to sit still for so long since I really enjoyed moving around and building things. The biggest advantage was that I love learning new things and CAD detailing was going to be a huge learning experience. Also, I was 37 & my body was not getting any younger, so it was a no brainer.

I loved working in the shop, the field and detailing. I really cannot think of any other career that I would have enjoyed more or could have been more successful at than Sheet Metal.

What have you been doing since you retired?

When I retired in 2014, I started teaching AutoCAD classes at the Fairfield Training Center. My real goal was to be allowed to teach a Revit class to retrain AutoCAD detailers, since it was starting to be used. At that time, Local 104 did not offer any Revit training. Since most of my detailing was done at smaller contractors, I did not have the support and training options that the large contractors had in place. This was my way of giving back to the Local, to provide the kind of training I wish had been available to me when I was detailing.

Can you explain a little more about Revit?

Revit is BIM software, which is exclusively used for building modeling, while AutoCAD is a drafting software. It is more efficient to detail in Revit than in AutoCAD once you get past the learning curve. I developed a class to teach Revit and taught it in person starting in 2016.

Detailers are generally busy people and it was hard to get them to commit to a 5pm class two evenings a week to learn Revit. That is what prompted me to look into getting a Revit class online, so we could reach more detailers without the extra commute, which in the Bay Area can be time consuming. Detailers seemed like the perfect candidates for online classes since they were computer savvy and are

used to working independently. The first online Revit class was offered in 2020 and has been offered every year since.

While I was the one to get the Revit class started, it has grown since then and is now a group effort. We now have two online classes, Revit & Fabrication, which is the software that draws duct inside Revit. The two-class series, which lasts six months, are offered twice a year, starting in September and January. The goal of the online classes is to retrain existing detailers and to provide a path for members who would like to become detailers.

Are the online classes enough training to turn members into detailers?

No, the classes focus on the software used to detail only, not how to detail. Detailing is a balance between general sheet metal knowledge and specialized software knowledge. Learning good duct construction methods, fitting selection, and the space requirements for ductwork and all the other trades our work shares space with are all things that can be learned through the regular apprenticeship classes and on the jobsite. Currently, our classes focus on the software side of detailing.

How would a member know if they are a good fit for detailing?

We have a new Intro to Revit class that is designed to give members a taste of what it would be like to use the software. It is offered in-person or via distance learning, using zoom meetings. This is an apprentice level class that can give members an idea what it would be like to work with the software. District 2 now offers this class to its fifth-year apprentices. It is not

currently an apprentice class in District 1, but it will be soon. In District 1, if you are interested in this class, please let your Coordinator know or email: BrianL@ smw104jatc.org

All of this is fascinating work, what are you most proud of?

What I am most proud of is that our classes are by detailers for detailers. The detailers that have taken the classes have made suggestions and have greatly improved what was originally offered. Our instructor group is made up of detailers who took the classes and wanted to become involved with what we were doing. It truly is a group effort, and I am confident it will continue to grow and improve after I am no longer involved.

Are these Local 104 detailing courses now being used by other locals?

Yes, we are sharing our content with 10 other JATCs now, including 104 District 2. I have taught the ITI Intermediate Revit class for a several years now, so that is where other locals have heard about our program. It is gratifying to see our curriculum being used to help train detailers across the country. We have also found a way to allow detailers from other 104 Districts to take our online classes now, so that was a big deal to me.

What is currently in the pipeline for the online detailing program?

We have just started to work on a new course, which will be Coordination with Navis. It will complete the detailing workflow that was started in the Fabrication class. Brian Lyon, currently a lead detailer at ACCO, and a part-time employee of the

Bay Area Training Fund, has taken over the management of the online classes. He is working with me on the new class, providing real world input. I have been away from the trade too long, so any writing I do now has to be a joint effort with someone who is still working as a detailer. I think it is extremely important that we are teaching the actual way software is used by real detailers. That is the difference between our program and other Revit training out there.

How successful has the program been?

I never dreamed it would be as successful as it has been. It is very gratifying to hear so many detailers tell us they were able to put something they just learned to use at work. I am aware of 16 members who moved into detailing trainee positions after completing our classes.

To see class descriptions or when classes will be offered in District 1, please visit smw104training.org/detailing-classes. If you are a detailing manager or detailer and want to know what we are up to, have suggestions, or want to get involved, please email: BrianL@smw104jatc.org

“While I had an amazing Sheet Metal career for 32 years, being allowed to develop Detailing training since then has been the most rewarding. I am grateful to Local 104 for giving me the opportunity to make a difference.”
