The

Business Manager's Report —

Contract Updates for 2025 This year, Local 104 has negotiated several Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs). Throughout Districts 1, 2 and 3 we have a total of nine Building Trades Agreements, and four of the nine were negotiated and ratified by the membership this year.

Rick Werner

President/Business Manager

1) Fresno CBA: A tentative agreement to extend the CBA was reached on March 5th and ratified by the membership on March 13th. The agreement covered wage/benefit increases over five years totaling $19.70. Notable changes: the Apprentice starting rate increased from 50% to 55%; the Apprentice rate increased from 36% to 40%; the General Foreperson increased by 1% annually from 18% to 20%, and the Foreperson rate increased by 1% annually from 10% to 15%. The short call to maintain your spot on the out of work list changed from 11 days to 16 days. We also agreed to clean up some outdated language. In addition, a stand-alone CBA for the Fresno area is close to completion and should be distributed to the members in the Fresno area within the next few months.

As you may or may not be aware, over a decade ago, the four Building Trades CBAs in District 2 were merged into one book. Since that time, it has been difficult to maintain and entirely follow the changes that take place. As a result, we decided to draft four separate CBAs in District 2.

Last year we negotiated the CBAs for both Modesto and Stockton. Each of these CBAs are near completion and will be distributed to the membership in those areas within the next few months.

SMW 104 News

So, after negotiations with Sacramento SMACNA next year have concluded, the process of drafting the four separate CBAs in District 2 will be effectively completed.

2) Monterey Bay Area CBA: A tentative agreement to extend the CBA was reached on April 2nd and ratified by the members on April 22nd. The agreement covered wage/benefit increases over five years totaling $21.00.

Notable changes: Veterans Day was added as a holiday. The Special Shift pay increased from 12% to 15% and the Pre-Apprentice rate increased from 35% to 40% for the first six months. The short call to maintain your spot on the out of work list changed from 11 days to 16 days. We also agreed to clean up some outdated language and draft a revised CBA, with the end of the year being the target set for distribution to the members in this area.

3 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

3 & 4) Bay Area and Silicon Valley Building Trades CBAs: A tentative agreement was reached on May 12th and ratified by the membership on May 21st. The agreement covered wage/fringe increases over four years totaling $21.20. Notable changes: Veterans Day was added as a holiday. The 2-hour show-up pay was changed to 4 hours. The beginning Apprentice 1st and 2nd bracket increased from 40% to 41% and 43% and the Pre-Apprentice increased from 30% to 35%. HRA overtime and double-time: the Senior General Foreperson classification at 35% above the Journeyperson was added. After the normal workday Monday-Friday, if you work overtime and there is a one-hour or more break from the end of the normal workday, you will receive a minimum of 4 hours overtime/double-time at the appropriate rate. If less than 8 hours (7 hours in San Francisco) is worked on a Saturday, all hours will be compensated at double-time. The shift pay increased from 12% to 15%. In addition, the short call to maintain your spot on the out of work list changed from 11 days to 16 days. Travel Pay: the 5 air-mile free zone was changed to 15 air-miles from employee’s home.

With a few additional items to be addressed through the Labor/Management Taskforce, we are hopeful to have a revised agreement drafted and distributed by the end of the year.

Also, 3-year extensions were reached on the Residential Agreements with Bay Area SMACNA, Silicon Valley Contractors Association and Dependable, all with total package increases as follows: 1st year 3.75%, 2nd year 3.875% and 3rd year 4%.

District 3 CBA: The CBA is being finalized and should be distributed to the members in that area within the next few months.

The

Financial Secretary's Report —

Guarding Our Health Plans: Prescription Costs, Specialty Drugs, and a Political Threat Brothers and Sisters,

Mike Nesbitt

Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ Recording Secretary

Across California, our members show up to work every day and give their best. As your Financial Secretary-Treasurer, and a Trustee for the SMW Local Union No. 104 Heath Care Plan, it’s my responsibility to help ensure that our health benefits remain as strong and reliable as the structures you build. But today, we face serious challenges, both financial and political, that threaten the sustainability of our health care plans. Just last month, I attended an International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans Conference. One of the topics discussed at the conference was, “What’s Happening in Rx?” Let me break down what’s at stake and what SMW Local Union No. 104 is doing to protect what we’ve built together.

The Rx Crisis: Skyrocketing Costs, Unchecked Middlemen, and Legal Landmines

SMW 104 News

Health care costs are surging, and nowhere is that more obvious than in prescription drugs. From 2022 to 2023, the average price of a prescription drug shot up over 15%. Some specialty drugs now cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year - one medication used to treat spinal muscular atrophy jumped to $2.1 million per kit. Specialty drugs alone now account for 33% of all prescription spending, yet they make up only a small percentage of prescriptions. These include treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and MS. In many cases, there are no true generics, and big pharmaceutical companies have built “patent thickets” to keep competition out and prices high.

The GLP-1 craze has also become a recent factor. To name a few of these popular drugs: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, used initially for type 2 diabetes are now being increasingly used for weight loss. These drugs have high costs ranging $1,000-$1,500 per month, insurance coverage challenges including affordability for uninsured and underinsured, and dependency risks. Patients may face high out-of-pocket costs or tiered pricing. Many plans do not cover GLP-1’s for weight loss, only for type 2 diabetes. As more employees seek access to GLP-1’s, employer plans face increasing financial pressure.

5 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

Worse still, middlemen known as PBMs (Pharmacy Benefit Managers) are profiting off this chaos. A recent lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson exposed PBM contracts that billed plans over 1,000% more than retail prices. That is unacceptable. And, it’s a wake-up call.

That’s why the Trustees of SMW Local Union No. 104 are: • Reviewing how our plan contracts with PBMs • Pushing for transparency and fair pricing • Evaluating specialty drug carve-outs and retail competition • Monitoring new regulations, including Medicare’s power to negotiate drug prices starting in 2025 Our health plan is funded through your hard work, by contributions made at the bargaining table, and every dollar wasted on overpriced drugs is a dollar we can’t invest back into care, dental, or retirement. We are committed to protecting your coverage while keeping premiums and out-of-pocket costs manageable.

Where We Stand and What You Can Do This is a critical time for SMW Local Union No. 104. The cost of prescription drugs, the complexity of pharmacy contracts, and the national political winds are colliding, and our health care is caught in the middle. But, we’re not powerless.

We’re taking action: • As Trustees, we’re fighting to control pharmacy costs without compromising care • We’re building relationships with legislators to defend union health plans • We’re preparing our members to speak out and vote with their values through the “Campaign for Jobs” And we need you to stay engaged.

Our health benefits weren’t given, they were fought for. Now, we must defend them with the same solidarity that built them.

In Solidarity,

Mike Nesbitt

Financial Secretary-Treasurer/Recording Secretary

JATC UPDATES & Announcements District 1 Training Center Update • The TAB and BT Service apprenticeship programs curriculum have been approved by Foothill College to be eligible for a 2-year Associates Degree. These programs now join the BT Sheet Metal apprenticeship as Foothill College degree programs. Starting July 1st, any apprentices in the TAB and BT Service programs are eligible. Please contact your training coordinator for more information.

• Upgrades to the San Jose and Castroville Service/TAB labs are currently underway. The training program is utilizing California HRTP and Federal DOE grants to help fund these projects. The improvements in these facilities will help train member’s service and TAB skills and will offer more opportunities for members to receive 3rd party nationally recognized certifications.

• As a result of District 1 Training program’s participation in the ERiCA Grant, it was made possible to gain vouchers for apprentices for Union-made American made or American made boots, American Made work wear, and all American made leather tool pouches and suspension systems. This had a combined value of $28,000.

• A graduation ceremony will be held on August 23rd for all 2024 and 2025 graduates. All former apprentices who graduated or will be graduating between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2025 should keep a look out for communications from the training program on this upcoming event.

Fresno Training Center Update • We held our first Journeyman TAB class. It was attended by seven journeymen. As a result of that class, we now have two new certified TAB technicians in the Fresno area. With the expressed interest from a number of other members, another Journeyman TAB class will be scheduled in the near future to continue the advancement of the TAB trade in the Fresno area.

• With all the new training equipment from the HRTP grant, the Fresno Sheet Metal Training Center Trustees have approved a much needed training hours increase from 80 hours to 96 hours.

• We’ve recently purchased approximately $14,000 of HVAC tools for training. $47,000 in purchases for the TAB Lab have started.

• We held our first on-site graduation at the Training Center. Even though it was our first graduation held at the Training center, it turned out to be an amazing event for the 34 graduates. The graduation has sparked some creativity and we’re hoping to build on this event to create an even better yearly graduation.

• The plans for our new Jobsite training structure have been finalized and will be sent out to bid.

• The TAB Lab is currently in the design phase with the mechanical consultant and our architect. Drawings should be submitted to the city soon.

AIRTEC, AT YOUR SERVICE! History and Evolution of Airtec with company President Dave Olson From humble beginnings to becoming a cornerstone in the HVAC industry, Airtec Service has built its reputation on consistency, adaptability, and a deep commitment to both quality and community. Dave Olson, President of Airtec, shares the company’s journey as well as his own over the past three decades.

Dave began his career as an apprentice at the original Airtec Heating and Air Conditioning, later gaining experience as a service technician and manager at Sawyer and McCarty in Salinas. In the early 1990s, when Airtec’s founder, Steve Bogner, decided to close the company he reached out to Dave, offering him the chance to take over the phone number and a small base of service accounts. Dave accepted, launching Airtec Service alongside his wife Michelle and the remaining original technician. Initially focused solely on service, Airtec gradually expanded into construction and installations, and eventually added engineering and design capabilities.

The company’s steady and continuous growth speaks volumes. One notable moment was the move to a new facility in 2007, which can specifically support Airtec’s operations more efficiently.

Airtec Service is now in its 32nd year and Dave marks 40 years in the HVAC trade. A point of pride for him is the number of employees who have remained with the company for decades, with many celebrating 25 and 30 year anniversaries, loyal team members who have contributed to the community just as much as the company itself.

Adaptability has been key to Airtec’s success.

Dave reflects on the evolution of the HVAC industry, noting that while change was slow until the late 1980s, the pace has since accelerated dramatically, especially in the last 10 to 15 years.

From new service technologies to more rigorous construction practices, Airtec has stayed ahead of the curve through continuous training and a commitment to excellence. The company’s longstanding high standards are now being matched industry-wide as codes and expectations catch up.

As the HVAC world continues to evolve, Airtec Service remains grounded in the principles that have defined its journey from the start.

Interview with Service Apprentice Alex Martinez at Airtec When did you join SMW Local 104?

I joined the Union in October 2022.

11 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

How has your apprenticeship training helped you grow on the job? What skills are you most excited to keep learning?

It’s built my confidence and troubleshooting more than anything. I get a little stressed when it’s tough, so I like the idea of becoming more comfortable and confident with it.

What does union support mean to you as you build your career?

To me, union support means there’s always someone to turn to for help. The connections you build along the way can really benefit you.

What made you want to get into the sheet metal trade?

My dad. He’s been in the union for as long as I can remember. He always encouraged me to join, I figured he knew what was best, and he was right.

Do you have a memory as an apprentice that still motivates you?

Yes, my first solo install job. That’s when all the training I received kicked in and proved to me that I could do it.

Who has helped guide or mentor you along the way?

Everyone at Airtec has played a big role in guiding me and still does. One person in particular is Guillermo Ortega. If I ever need advice or help, I know he’ll always pick up the phone.

What’s it been like working for a signatory contractor like Airtec?

It’s been great. The biggest benefit is the experience. At Airtec, the service guys do it all from start to finish.

Summer 2025

Q&A with SMW Local 104 Service Journeyman and Instructor John Lintz at Airtec When did you first become a member of SMW Local 104, and what drew you to the sheet metal trade?

I joined in November 1998. I had been working in house maintenance for a tech company, where I saw the kind of hands-on, technical work I wanted to pursue as a career.

Can you share a memory from your early apprenticeship that still motivates you today?

Early on, I was given some great advice: always watch, listen, and learn. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my career.

12

How long have you been with Airtec, and what brought you to the company?

I’ve been with Airtec for about 27 years. I was drawn to the consistent light commercial work and the scale of projects they handle.

Is there a project you’re especially proud of from your time at Airtec?

Yes, I’m particularly proud of working on large campus networked control systems.

What led you to become an instructor for Local 104’s training program?

Airtec Service Members and Monterey Bay Business Representative Casey Van Den Heuvel

There was a growing number of service apprentices and a clear need for more instructors, so I stepped up to help support the next generation.

I enjoy the challenge of keeping apprentices engaged and helping them see the full range of opportunities in the trade. I always emphasize that no one becomes an expert overnight. With consistent effort, they’ll build the confidence to take on anything.

What are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen in the trade since you started?

Technology has made systems more complex and added new layers to how we install, diagnose, and repair equipment.

How can the next generation continue to raise the bar in this trade?

They need to stay dedicated, step out of their comfort zones, and actively seek training and information, especially from equipment and system representatives to best serve our customers.

What do you think sets a Union contractor like Airtec apart from the competition?

It comes down to dedication and teamwork. We have a strong crew of technicians who can cover everything from installation to support. The more you know, the more valuable you are and the less likely you are to be out of work.

San Joaquin Members are ACTIVE: (Pictured above to the right) Local 104 members showed

up to Stockton to help clean up the bike trail along the Calaveras River. Stockton District 4 Councilmember Mario Enriquez stopped by to give SMW Local 104 a special thank you. Another successful community clean up / “Campaign for Jobs” action.

(Pictured on the right) Sheet Metal Workers made our

presence known at the Tracy City Council, joining a coalition of tradespeople to pack the house and advocate for the Tracy Hills Commerce Center, a seven building distrubution complex under a PLA. Thank you to our members for spending a Tuesday night standing up for union construction. The project was approved 3-2!

A Clean and Green Oakland In June, 36 Local 104 members and their families showed up bright and early to help newly elected Mayor Barbara Lee with her initiatives around a clean and green Oakland. These kinds of community events give our members a chance to give back to the communities they call home.

SHOP PROFILE

Innovation and Legacy at Acosta Sheet Metal MFG. For over 50 years, Acosta Sheet Metal Manufacturing has proudly served the Bay Area and beyond with high-quality commercial and residential sheet metal products. A family-owned business and a proud SMW 104 contractor, Acosta is known for expert fabrication of HVAC systems, architectural and custom roofing metals, and new innovations that consistently exceed industry standards. One such development has been in the area of laser welding.

Laser welding is set to revolutionize not only sheet metal manufacturing, but also automotive, aerospace, and medical device industries. For decades, TIG welding has been the standard in fabrication for its precision, strength, and flexibility, however, laser welding is quickly becoming the go-to. While TIG welding uses heat and filler metal to bond seams, laser welding uses a highly concentrated laser beam to fuse materials, requiring no filter, minimal heat output, and considerable speed and accuracy. As opposed to TIG welding, which can take years to master, laser welding can be picked up in weeks. Projects are completed 25% faster with no need for pre- or post-weld steps, and a wider range of materials are available for use such as aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and plastics.

Since investing in a laser welder in 2021, Acosta has increased productivity, improved workflow, and been able to deliver consistent, high-quality products in record time. Acosta credits much of this progress to the strong partnership with Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 and the Bay Area Industry Training Fund, which invests in the next generation of Union welders and fabricators.
