SEVENTY PERCENT OF AMERICANS SUPPORT UNIONS
A Gallup Poll conducted in 2024 concluded that 70% of Americans supported unions, 23% were opposed to unions and 7% were undecided. Unfortunately, the very laws and agencies in place that allow workers and unions the ability to form a union in the workplace are now under attack by Donald Trump and the guy nobody voted for.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent federal agency responsible for enforcing labor laws for most American workers and has been in place since July 5, 1935. The NLRB oversees elections to form unions and investigates complaints concerning unfair labor practices by employers, such as firing workers for supporting unions, discussing wages, or mentioning workplace safety issues. The NLRB also facilitates settlements, decides cases involving complaints of unfair labor practices and ensures those settlements and decisions are enforced. One of the two branches of the NLRB is comprised of a five-member panel that acts as a judicial body, deciding cases on a simple majority vote. The five-member panel had been operating with only three members until President Trump, in an unpresidential move, fired the third member, obstructing the ability of the panel to operate. While this is only one of several federal agencies vital to equality for workers in the workplace, there are a number under attack, and the value of many of those agencies may not
be fully recognized until they no longer exist. And for anyone questioning the attack on the NLRB, I would say that it is to make the ultra-wealthy 1% of Americans wealthier.
Wealth inequality in the United States has been steadily increasing over the last few decades, while union density—the percentage of workers who are union members— has been declining. Studies have shown a clear inverse correlation between these two trends, meaning that as union membership falls, wealth inequality tends to rise.
Data from the Federal Reserve reveals that union households have 1.7 times the median wealth of nonunion households. (Center for American Progress, 2024) The reason is: unions raise wages, provide greater job stability, and offer enhanced benefits like pensions and health insurance, which all contribute to higher savings and wealth. (Center for American Progress, 2024)
In the 1950s, approximately 35% of U.S. workers were unionized. Unfortunately, union membership has steadily dropped, with only 10.8% of workers being unionized as of 2020. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020) At the same time, wealth inequality has soared. The top 1% of Americans held around 25% of the nation’s wealth in 1989, but by 2020, that share had grown to over 40%. (Federal Reserve, 2020)
Unions play an essential role in reducing economic inequality. By negotiating better wages and benefits, they help close the wage gap between high-income earners and the rest of the population. Union workers earn about 13% more than their non-union counterparts. (Economic Policy Institute, 2019) However, as union membership declines, workers lose bargaining power, resulting in stagnant wages and widening inequality.
There is no question that the decline of unions has contributed to the growing wealth gap, underscoring the importance of unions in creating a more equitable economy.
When 70% of Americans supported unions a few years ago, I felt as though we were on a better path to grow union density for many working families and shift a portion of the profits back to the workers who deserve a livable wage for their dedication and hard work.
It is more important than ever that we continue in our support of all unions. As we have witnessed continued attacks against our existence, with so many lies being spread by media outlets and leaders in our country about unions, we need to be the voice of reason to combat those falsehoods and educate those who believe the lies. Being a member of Local 104 for nearly 40 years makes me proud, and I will always respect all it has provided. As a young teenager on a bad path, Local 104 afforded me an opportunity for an education, to learn a trade at no expense, earn a better wage ($11.00 rather than $5.50 at a non-union machine shop) with benefits and working conditions that I did not have in 1984. This is one of the many reasons I am so passionate about our Union. It’s not just our Union providing better opportunities for the working class, it is every union. And from my perspective, an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
As I have stated in prior articles, I completely respect a member’s choice to vote for the person who represents the values most important to them. It is unfortunate that, at times, we have supported candidates (Democrat or Republican) who have promised one thing and once elected, failed to keep that promise, leaving us with voter’s remorse.
When it comes to attacks against our Union and on those employers whom we have partnerships with, please push back. Support one another so that we can protect what we have and continue to provide opportunities for future members and employers.
In Solidarity, Rick

The Financial Secretary's Report

Mike Nesbitt Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ Recording Secretary

TARIFF$.
Since President Trump took the oath of office in January, there has been a flurry of executive actions, controversies, and early policy moves. Most recently, he levied tariffs on goods coming from Mexico, Canada, and China. A tariff is a tax levied on imported goods. Historically tariffs have created a revenue for many countries and in some instances may represent their main source of federal revenue. On March 4, 2025, the Trump Administration imposed a 25% tariff on several imports from Mexico and Canada, while doubling the levy on some Chinese goods to 20%. Canada responded with 25% retaliatory tariffs on selected US imports. China immediately reacted by placing tariffs on US food and farm products. This was the beginning of a so-called trade war.
On March 6, 2025, Trump granted a one-month exemption on the new tariffs impacting goods from Mexico and Canada until April 2. On March 10, 2025, China again retaliated by placing additional tariffs on imported food and farm products further escalating tensions with the US. The escalation had an immediate effect on the US Markets, pushing stocks lower. This sense of whiplash from the back-and-forth tariff threats and retaliations has shaken financial markets, lowering consumer confidence while adversely affecting the business community. On March 11, 2025, the US government expanded tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all foreign countries. This expansion affects nearly $150 billion dollars of goods such as stainless-steel sinks, air conditioner coils, electronics, and other mechanical equipment. The objective of these measures is to bolster domestic pro -
duction and job growth. Conversely, certain industries reliant on these materials have expressed great concerns about increased costs and potential price hikes that will be passed onto domestic purchases.
As of March 12, 2025, Canada has announced 25% retaliatory tariffs on approximately $20 billion of US imports and now the European Union has gotten involved and responded with a $28 billion in countermeasures from the issuance of the 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. By the time you read this, there may be more tariff changes.
The recent tariff announcements have contributed to a sell-off in US markets. The S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial, and the NASDAQ have experienced declines, erasing significant market gains. The NASDAQ is currently in “correction mode” meaning the drop in a major stock market index is between 10%-20% from recent highs. The increased tariffs on Canadian imports, particularly aluminum, have raised concerns about the fragility of stock markets and the potential for further economic repercussions. This latest development may have a harmful effect on international trade relations and economic dynamics.
These tariff wars directly affect Sheet Metal Workers by increasing production costs for businesses, potentially leading to reduced demand, job losses, and higher prices for consumers. Higher costs could hurt construction, HVAC, and fabrication workers due to slowed projects and price-sensitive customers. Remember we are UNION STRONG! We all need to stay vigilant with our invol-
vement in Campaign for Jobs actions where we can work together with legislators to protect jobs and stabilize the industry, maintaining production levels, and job security. By being proactive, we can better navigate the challenges posed by
tariffs, and work towards sustaining our industry and livelihoods.
In Solidarity, Mike

PATTON: A TRADITION OF TRUST
For over a century, Patton has been synonymous with craftsmanship, innovation, and trust. Founded in 1919 as Patton Sheet Metal Works by James Monroe Patton—who initially crafted water troughs for horses—the company has evolved across generations into a leader in HVAC and energy solutions. Under Bill Patton’s leadership, it expanded into air conditioning, and with Mike Patton at the helm, technology and design innovation became the driving force. Today, under Chris May, alongside Justin Fortmeyer and Steve Gejeian, Patton contin-
ues its legacy of excellence, keeping Central California at the forefront of energy-efficient solutions and construction.
Renowned for quality and expertise in Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) services, Patton’s involvement in this project began in December 2019 when the company learned of a local hospital’s plan to replace every existing air handler on its expansive campus. Although Patton missed the opportunity to provide pre-construc-

tion services, it pursued the larger construction scope. On February 14, 2020, the team at Patton- Chris May, John Foster, Pat Shattuck, and Scott Likins- attended an interview at the general contractor’s construction trailer, where they were evaluated on cost, execution capability, confidence in handling the complex scope, and past experience. Shortly after, Patton was awarded multiple scopes of work, including mechanical/HVAC fabrication and installation work to be done by Fresno-area SMW 104 members.
The first unit, AHU-3, arrived at Patton’s yard on March 15, 2022. After weeks of modifications and preparation, Patton successfully removed and replaced AHU-3.
The team at Patton is known for its commitment to innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM), Point Cloud Scanning, and 3D modeling to enhance efficiency on projects. Through meticulous planning and BIM technology, all necessary components were fabricated before field mobilization, allowing the entire swap-out process to be completed in just 14 hours—from shutdown to reenergization. “With
the scan data and the model, we were able to create a virtual model in digital space that allows us to fabricate and place our components in the field, within an eighth to a quarter of an inch.” stated Gabriel Garcia, Local 104 member and BIM/VDC Project Lead for Patton.
Efficiency has been a defining feature of this project. Thanks to expert planning by Patton’s team and Local 104 members, each air handler replacement is executed more quickly than the last. However, each unit presents unique challenges—some have down-draft configurations, others side-draft; some require large pedestals, while others sit directly on the slab. Varying amounts of rooftop ductwork have added complexity, but these challenges have provided Patton the opportunity to showcase its expertise in emerging construction technologies and problem solving.
Beyond technical execution, the success of this project has been driven by strong teamwork and leadership. Collaboration between Patton, the general contractor, and hospital staff has ensured seamless operations. Safety perimeters were secured, crane setups were meticu-
lously planned, and HVAC ductwork was installed without disrupting hospital operations.
Patton Sheet Metal Foreman Jeremy Welk spoke about the synergy across the Patton team and its role in this project.
“The great team that I had behind me is what made this a success, from the office crew to the shop crew to the field crew, it really did take a tremendous effort for everyone to collaborate and come together for this to be a success.”
Patton continues to refine its processes, setting new benchmarks in efficiency and quality. With a deep-rooted commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Patton and its team of Sheet Metal Workers and MEP experts remain at the forefront of healthcare infrastructure modernization, paving the way for future advancements in energy solutions across Central California.

Local 104 Members Continue to Secure Work with School Districts.
As Union Sheet Metal Workers, we know firsthand how important it is to secure school district work under PLAs to protect the rights and livelihoods of skilled tradespeople while delivering high-quality facilities for our students and communities.
These agreements ensure that public funds are invested back into the community by employing skilled local workers and apprentices, rather than being outsourced to lower-wage, out-of-area contractors. For us, it’s about protecting our brothers and sisters while building the future, both in terms of infrastructure and workforce development.
We’ve seen the power of PLAs firsthand through recent victories. On Thursday, January 23, 2025, after a decade-long struggle, Local 104 and the South Bay Building Trades Council secured a groundbreaking PLA with the Santa Clara Unified School District. This historic win represents the tireless dedication of our members and allies who fought to secure good jobs and maintain high standards for local construction projects.
Just days later, on January 28, we celebrated another significant win as Stockton Unified School District Trustees voted 6-0 to renew our Community Workforce and Training Agreement. Local 104 members stood proudly alongside the San Joaquin County Building Trades Council to reaffirm our commitment to working families and community investment.
Thank you to our members for showing up!

MEMBER PROFILE
BY: MANUEL ZAPATA

What is your background? How did you get into the trade?
I just started at a shop. I was a 19-year-old pushing a broom. To be honest, I just needed a job. I was tired of working in fast food. Then, I started watching all the guys out in the shop and thought, Hey, that looks really cool. So, I took the apprenticeship test. That next summer, when they were hiring apprentices, they brought me on. I did my apprenticeship in Modesto, California.
What are your current role and responsibilities at the Modesto JATC?
I’m the Training Coordinator for Modesto. It involves overseeing the apprenticeship program, training apprentices, working with instructors, and handling many aspects of how the business runs. It’s about both current operations and future planning, making improvements to keep the program moving forward.
Is there an extra sense of pride because you did your apprenticeship in the same building?
Absolutely. I care about this place. I was a part-ti-




me instructor for 10 years before taking on this role. The reason I started teaching was that I wanted to be involved in the program—I wanted to be part of something, help it grow, and make it better.
What direction do you want to take the apprenticeship program in the Modesto area?
I want to take it to the top. I want to provide the best training available in all aspects—ensuring apprentices learn as much as possible, develop the skills they need, and gain the knowledge necessary to succeed as journeymen. I also want to prepare them for opportunities beyond this area, so they’re ready to travel if needed.
What improvements have you made in the program so far?
I’ve helped organize and set a clear direction for growth—working on budgets and laying the foundation for stronger training.
For example, I brought in a forklift so we can offer forklift certifications. Some training isn’t always provided by contractors, so I want to fill those gaps. My goal is to make the Modesto Training Center a place where apprentices—and, in the
MITCH KOCH
MODESTO AREA JATC COORDINATOR

near future, journeymen—can come to develop the skills they need to be top-tier union sheet metal workers.
Do you collaborate with the Sacramento and Fresno training centers?
Absolutely. I’m in constant communication with Eric Priest from Fresno and Alex Tiechner from Sacramento. We have a team mentality—we’re always trying to help each other, whether it’s sharing ideas, coordinating projects, or learning from each other’s experiences.
Even though Sacramento, Fresno, and Modesto have their differences, we’re in close proximity, and our markets have similarities. That collaboration is ongoing—it’s a constant effort to strengthen the district as a whole.
What do you think defines the culture of the Central Valley, particularly in the Modesto area? What sets it apart?
It’s a unique area because it’s somewhat separate from everything else. It’s not as busy as the Bay Area, and agriculture plays a big role in the community. Farming and industry here are deeply connected.
For example, if you like eating almonds, chances are you’ll be working in an almond plant. The almonds grow in our backyard, we work in the plants, and then we see them in stores—it’s a full-circle connection. The identity of the Central Valley, and Modesto specifically, plays a huge role in understanding the job market, the work, and even the politics of the area. Many of the businesses here are run by independent farmers, and that affects everything.
What is life like outside of work?
I have a wife and two kids, so most of my time is spent with my family—after work and on weekends, we always try to do something fun and spend quality time together. I also enjoy outdoor
activities like cycling and fishing.
I’ve seen pics of you at the SMW 104 Clay Shoot, right? It seems like outdoor activities are a big part of the culture in the Central Valley.
Yeah, definitely. We’re really close to the Sierra Nevadas, so a lot of guys go up there. People from the Bay Area drive for hours to do things that are right in our backyard. There are so many outdoor activities available here. I used to do more shooting sports. I don’t do it as much now, but I used to be into it.
That’s awesome. What overall message would you want to send to apprentices in the area? How do you keep them involved in the union and instill a sense of pride?
I think it ties into the journeyman mindset—being ready for anything. As apprentices, this is your time to learn, develop skills, and make the most of the opportunities in front of you.
The apprenticeship is a golden period where you can absorb as much as possible. My goal is to provide as much as I can so that you have what you need for a long, successful career. This isn’t just about today—it’s about setting yourself up for 25 or 30 years down the road so you can retire with confidence.
So, my message would be: make good use of your time. Yes, there will be opportunities to come back and continue learning, but the tools and knowledge you gain here are invaluable.

David Peña
Fresno Area Business Development Representative
David Peña has dedicated 25 years to Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 104, beginning his career in 1999. With extensive experience, including over 17 years as an Organizer and Business Development Representative, he has been a tireless advocate for workers’ rights and union growth. A lifelong resident of Fresno, Mr. Peña has remained steadfast in his commitment to both the labor movement and his community.
His journey in the sheet metal trade began in 1993 in an open shop environment, but in 1999, he made the pivotal decision to join Sheet Metal Workers Local Union 162. Demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication, he completed his apprenticeship in just two and a half years, earning journeyman status by 2001. He worked as a journeyman until 2006, when he transitioned into the role of Organizer, focusing on expanding opportunities for union workers. To further his expertise, Mr. Peña attended the George Meany Center in Maryland, in 2006 to study labor law.

In 2012, Local Union 162 merged with Local Union 104, forming the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation (SMART) Local Union 104. Since then, Mr. Peña has continued his impactful work as a Business Development Representative.
Beyond his professional contributions, Mr. Peña has played a significant role in local labor movements. In 2008, he was appointed as a trustee for the Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings Counties Central Labor Council. Additionally, he has served as a delegate and Sergeant-at-Arms for the Fresno, Madera, Kings, and Tulare Counties Building Trades Council. His advocacy extends to workforce development and community planning, serving on the Workforce Investment Board of Tulare County since 2015 and being appointed Chair of the West Area Specific Plan Steering Committee in 2018.
Mr. Peña’s legacy is not only defined by his professional achievements but also by his dedication to his family. He is a proud father to three children—Roxanne, David III, and Dominic—and a loving grandfather to five grandchildren—Andrew, Gianna, Amorette, Roman, and Amelio. As he steps into retirement, Mr. Peña looks forward to enjoying his passions, including traveling, deepsea fishing, and golfing, while cherishing quality time with his family.
