The

Business Manager's Report

Rick Werner

President/Business Manager

PRESIDENT BIDEN: A TRUE ADVOCATE FOR UNION WORKERS AND OUR PENSIONS Although politics in this country has become incredibly divisive over the years, it’s important that we have an honest look back on this US Presidency. Whether or not you’d like to agree, our ability to function effectively as a Union depends on having a strong labor supporter as President of the United States to strengthen labor laws, grow our apprenticeships, support Project Labor Agreements, and importantly – protect our pensions. When we look back on our nation’s history, other than President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933-1945, it’s hard to find someone who has been as strong for us as President Biden has been on these issues.

While I’d like to focus on how he’s been a true champion of labor in all of those categories, I think there’s clear evidence to discuss about what he’s accomplished to help protect Union pensions for hardworking Americans.

At the end of 2022, President Biden announced a monumental $36 billion relief package for the Central States Pension Fund. This initiative, the largest ever of its kind, was made possible through the American Rescue Plan’s Special Financial Assistance Program, known as the “Butch Lewis Act.” This program, named after a heroic Ohio union leader, ensures the security of over 200 distressed multiemployer pension plans, safeguarding the retirement benefits of 2 to 3 million workers through at least 2051.

This was a groundbreaking achievement that underscores President Biden’s dedication to preserving and growing Unions in America.

Prior to this intervention, the Central States Pension Fund was the largest financially distressed multiemployer pension plan in the nation, facing potential benefit cuts of up to 60%. Thanks to President Biden’s decisive action, more than 350,000 union workers and retirees, including truck drivers, warehouse workers, construction workers, and food processors, will now receive their full benefits. This relief is a lifeline for thousands of our brothers and sisters across the country, including: • Michigan – 40,000 workers and retirees • Ohio – 40,000 workers and retirees • Missouri – 28,000 workers and retirees • Illinois – 25,000 workers and retirees • Texas – 22,000 workers and retirees • Wisconsin – 22,000 workers and retirees • Indiana – 20,000 workers and retirees • Minnesota – 19,000 workers and retirees • Florida – 19,000 workers and retirees • Tennessee – 14,000 workers and retirees

Contrast this with the previous administration: under President Trump, there was no comparable effort to secure our pensions or provide such extensive financial relief. His administration did not take the necessary steps to prevent the looming insolvency of multiemployer pension plans, leaving many workers and retirees facing an uncertain future.

The American Rescue Plan’s Special Financial Assistance program represents the most significant effort to protect the solvency of our multiemployer pension system in nearly 50 years. Before this plan, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s (PBGC) multiemployer pension insurance program was on track to become insolvent by 2026. Due to President Biden’s leadership, the PBGC’s solvency has been extended to 2055, ensuring that our pensions are protected for decades to come. Had

3 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

President Biden not taken this decisive action, our Northern California Pension Plan would have had to take on significant additional burdens to help fund the PBGC, making our pathway to recovery nearly impossible.

Additionally, President Biden’s administration has reversed harsh pension cuts for over 80,000 workers and retirees in 18 multiemployer plans that were previously forced to reduce benefits under the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (MPRA).

These workers, who faced benefit cuts through no fault of their own, will now have their pensions fully reinstated, securing their financial futures once again.

Sean McGarvey, President of the North American Building Trades Unions (NABTU), spoke with former President Trump on numerous occasions about the critical importance of fixing union pensions. Despite these conversations, there was little more than talk and no substantive action taken to address the issue. In stark contrast, President Biden has not only listened to the concerns of union leaders like McGarvey but has also taken decisive action. His administration’s proactive measures to secure and enhance pension benefits demonstrate his genuine belief in and commitment to supporting working families.

Beyond pension protection, President Biden has also been instrumental in creating and expanding union career opportunities through significant legislative achievements. The CHIPS and Science Act, signed into law by President Biden, is a prime example of his commitment to revitalizing American manufacturing and securing good-paying union jobs. This act provides substantial investments to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States, reducing our reliance on China and creating thousands of high-quality jobs in the process. The legislation supports Union Labor by ensuring that new factories and facilities adhere to fair labor standards and employ skilled Union workers. Regardless of what side of the aisle you may be on politically, I think we can all agree that bringing good Union manufacturing back to the United States is what’s best for all Americans!

Summer 2024

Similarly, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes provisions that foster the growth of green energy jobs and support Union Labor. This landmark piece of legislation directs significant funding towards renewable energy projects, critical infrastructure projects, and massive HVAC modernization projects in schools through the Renew America’s Schools Initiative. By incentivizing domestic manufacturing and clean energy development, the IRA aims to combat climate change and ensures that the jobs created are high-quality, sustainable, and Union-supported.

These legislative victories under President Biden’s administration are pivotal in bringing manufacturing back to American soil, reducing dependency on foreign countries, and most importantly, providing robust career opportunities for our membership. The CHIPS Act and the IRA are creating pathways for apprenticeships and career advancements within our Union, helping to build a stronger, more resilient middle class.

President Biden has demonstrated a profound commitment to Union workers throughout this country, taking unprecedented steps to protect our pensions and ensure our financial security while also fostering new opportunities for growth and stability in our careers. As we move forward, it’s vital that we continue to support elected leaders who have a demonstrated history of supporting working families.

In solidarity,

The

Financial Secretary’s Report

Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ Recording Secretary

ment will reduce your take-home pay, SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN LOANS: SOMETHINGS TO potentially affecting your ability to meet your monthly expenses.

THINK ABOUT. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in loan defaults within our Supplemental Pension Plan, which threatens the program’s stability. While the loan program is a valuable benefit to many members including myself, increased defaults might force us to take corrective action due to Department of Labor rules. If you take a loan, please ensure you can repay it to maintain this benefit for everyone.

Our investment consultant, Mammini Company, has prepared an article on the implications of taking and defaulting on 401(k) loans. Please read below.

In Solidarity, Mike If you are considering taking a loan from your Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 Supplemental Pension Plan to bridge a short-term financial gap, pause for a minute. This is a major decision that should not be made lightly, as there are consequences that could affect your ability to fund your future retirement.

There are certainly benefits to our loan program. These include easy access to your funds, and it’s very convenient. Plus, the loan funds are not subject to income tax or penalties as long as the loan is repaid according to the loan agreement. However, here are a few things to consider before you take a loan: 1. You’ll incur double taxation.

You will repay the loan with after-tax dollars, and because the interest you pay is not deductible, you will pay tax on it again in the future when you retire and start withdrawing funds from your account.

2. Your take-home pay will be reduced.

Your plan requires you to start paying your loan back immediately after you borrow the money. Your loan repay-

3. Your taxable income may increase.

Most people either reduce or stop their 401(k) contributions to the plan when they have an outstanding loan.

Your loan repayments are not tax deductible and do not reduce your taxable income like 401(k) contributions do.

4. Failure to repay or leaving the Union will trigger a taxable event.

Most loans must be repaid within 5 years (except for the purchase of a primary home). If you do not make timely payments to repay your loan, it can trigger a default, which will cause income taxes and a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty (unless you are age 59 ½ or older). Also, if you leave the Union, your loan may be due and payable upon such an event.

What is the potential long-term cost of a loan to your retirement account?

Consider this simple example: Sam plans to retire in 30 years and has $50,000 in his retirement account.

He contributes $200 a month to the plan. He takes out a $10,000 loan and pays 6 percent interest. His monthly loan payment is about $193 for 5 years. To keep his take-home pay about the same, Sam stops making 401(k) contributions while repaying the loan and starts contributing again after his loan is repaid. How much would this $10,000 loan cost Sam in the long run? Assuming a hypothetical 8 percent investment return, Sam would have about $113,000 less in his account after 30 years. Ouch!

There are certainly reasons to take a loan (maybe the best examples are to help purchase a primary home or assist a child with college expenses, not to buy a new car or take a vacation), but understanding the costs and short-term benefits should be evaluated. Be SMART. Your future self will thank you.

Located in the picturesque Napa Valley, where the rolling vineyards of California’s Wine County meet the horizon, stands the Veterans Home of California-Yountville (VHC-Yountville). Since its establishment in 1884, it has been a beacon of hope for veterans, offering not just a place to live but a place to heal, connect, and thrive.

VHC-Yountville, the county’s oldest and largest veterans’ home, is set for a major expansion, thanks to the invaluable support of Peterson Mechanical Inc. and the skilled members of SMW Local 104. Their collaboration will bring to life a new multi-story building, adding 317,000 square feet dedicated to a state-of-the-art Skilled Nursing and Memory Care Facility. This 11-acre expansion will provide 240 beds for veterans requiring advanced medical attention, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care.

The new facility will be designed to offer a home away from home, featuring modern amenities such as dedicated kitchens and dining areas, exam rooms, nurses’ stations, laundry facilities, and an in-house pharmacy. Inviting outdoor spaces

will allow residents to connect with nature and each other.

Additional features like ample parking, easy-to-navigate roadways, and an emergency generator will ensure the highest standards of care are always met.

Founded in 1915, Peterson Mechanical Inc. has been in business for nearly 110 years. Specializing in design-build, OSHPD, DSA, and technology projects, Peterson is also known for its work on various plan/spec projects in the mixed-use and hospitality markets. Two other VA projects in San Francisco that have recently commenced are among their ongoing projects.

The Cal-Vet Skilled Nursing Facility at VHC-Yountville is the largest design-build project Peterson has ever undertaken, requiring almost 60,000 man-hours. Work began in November 2023 and is expected to be completed by February 2025.

This facility is one of the first pre-cast buildings in Northern California and features some of the state’s largest air handling units (AHUs).

11 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

The project has not been without its challenges. The aggressive schedule, material storage, inspection processes, and delays were all significant hurdles. However, these obstacles were overcome through extensive coordination meetings, meticulous planning, and a can-do attitude.

The rapid construction of the building, which appeared complete even before interior work began, showcases the remarkable capabilities of Local 104. Peterson’s dedication and expertise have been crucial in driving the project forward.

With this expansion, VHC-Yountville will continue to set the standard for veteran care, providing an enhanced environment where veterans can receive the advanced medical attention they deserve. Thank you to Peterson Mechanical and its Local 104 Sheet Metal Workers for always taking pride in their work and continuing a tradition of trust in the trade.

Two Major Project Labor Agreement Wins!

Local 104 had two major wins these past few months with big Project Labor Agreements that we’ve been working hard on for quite some time! Thanks in large part to the hard work of our local Building Trades Councils, we have achieved significant milestones by passing both the San Joaquin Delta College PLA and the City of Mountain View PLA, both with unanimous support.

On June 18th, the Delta College PLA, approved with an 8-0 vote, ensures good construction jobs for local residents and opportunities for apprentices. At the meeting, our members shared their life-changing experiences as apprentices, journeypersons, representatives, and instructors, emphasizing our passion for expanding these pathways for local residents. Similarly, on May 14th, the Mountain View PLA, also passed unanimously. The turn out from our Campaign for Jobs was monumental and our Local 104 members were joined with many others from the other Building Trades Unions.

These victories were made possible by the continuous efforts of our Campaign for Jobs who mobilized and advocated for our future work opportunities for our Union brothers and sisters. Their commitment exemplifies the strength and solidarity of Local 104.

Volunteer Efforts at Veterans Memorial Building: A Heartfelt Thank You! We extend our deepest gratitude to the members of Local 104 who dedicated several weekends to volunteering at the Veterans Memorial Building in Watsonville. This initiative, organized by the Monterey Bay Campaign for Jobs, aimed to refurbish and clean the offices used for veteran outreach.

As Business Representative Casey Van Den Heuvel put it, “The spaces were in dire need of an upgrade, and our members stepped up, dedicating long hours to bring these offices up to a standard that ensures veterans feel they are in a dignified space to receive care. Our members’ hard work and commitment to this project have made a significant difference.”

We also want to thank County Supervisor Felipe Hernandez and Watsonville Mayor Vanessa Cortez, who both came out to support this important initiative. Their presence underscores the community’s commitment to honoring and supporting our veterans.

Thank you, Local 104 members, for your outstanding dedication and service. Together, we continue to make a positive impact on our community.

Local 104 Member Profile

Rob Baldwin - Owner of Kel-Aire Interview by EJ Cire

When your air conditioner sputters out on a scorcher of a day, or your furnace decides to take a winter vacation, a dependable HVAC contractor becomes your hero. In the world of residential climate control, Rob Baldwin of Kel-Aire is synonymous with expertise and community spirit. Not only does he keep homes comfortable year-round, but he’s also a strong supporter of Local 104, the Union that ensures his team is comprised of highly skilled technicians and encourages others to dive into this field. Let’s dive into our conversation with Rob and explore what makes Kel-Aire a leader in residential and light-commercial HVAC services.

Can you start with your background and what brought you into the industry?

I was working for a retail company that had a storage next to a sheet metal shop in Concord in the mid-80’s and I’d hear the old journeymen whistling along out there.

One day he goes, “Hey kid, why don’t you try to get a job and get in the Union?”.

So, I took the test, got in the Union in the late 80s and went to school. I did a lot of tract work there and when they went out of business, that owner called Kel-Aire to vouch for me to help find me another job. Thankfully, that worked out for me and one other member, so we came over here, probably about 35 years ago. I was

doing tract work, then retrofit cut-ins, then service work before I was asked to start doing some sales and admin work.

About 10 years ago, my wife and I had the opportunity to buy the company. We immediately applied for and got a small business loan and had a big meeting with the Union where I signed as an owner-member and the rest is history.

Has there been any big industry shifts or work outlook changes?

It’s been pretty smooth I’d say. There were some rocky points during the COVID-19 pandemic, but since we are essential workers, we were able to maintain pace pretty well. The health and safety of our folks and the customers was a huge concern, but I think we navigated it really well. In terms of industry shifts, we’ve been doing more and more heat pumps over the last several years. Now that it’s really right in front of us we’re prepared to go all in as far as electric. We’re still doing a little bit of gas but we’re making sure to educate the customers as far as what’s coming down the pike with efficient electrification/decarb and things like that.

My crew is getting well-versed in installation and service and the thought in theory behind heat pump systems. They’re all different but we’re keeping up with the latest products.

Regarding residential decarbonization, what are your thoughts and how do you see your role?

Well, I would say working on heat pumps and installing way back in the day was my least favorite scope because they were a newer concept that did not have all of the kinks worked out. So, I think everybody’s a little standoffish about that, even the customer, but I see that I would rather try to be at the forefront than at the tail end of this whole thing. What I see is there being really a lot more opportunities just because there’s so many different variables and there’s so many more different options with the heat pumps and electrification.

Again, like everybody else, we thought of it a little bit at first but right now we’re riding that wave, and this is the future.

This is what’s gonna take Kel-Aire to the next level.

What do you think about the way Local 104 is approaching this work with the contractors?

I think a lot of it is you folks getting the word out and working with different municipalities. Berkeley, for instance, and getting us involved with that, I think that’s huge because that gives the Union a presence which gives our contractors a presence so when this really starts going,

we told the guys this work is because of the Union, because of you all. And the JATC is helping too. When I called Nate Venarucci, he was saying “Hey, get enough folks and we’ll have a heat pump class to bring their game up even more.” We have these classes, with Carrier and others, but I think it’s going to be important to have ongoing classes with the Union. And it sounds like you all are wide open to that which is great because the more we know, the more ahead of this whole thing we can get.

Any expected growth coming soon?

We’re looking to hire two more people.

We’ve got two to three members in service and four to five in the remodel department. One thing we look for is retention, holding onto the people that we have. We need someone looking for a home.

How do you focus on retention?

As far as the ratio of gas to heat pumps I would say we’re doing 80% heat pumps now. We’re also doing some ultra-low NOX, but that’s just a bridge until there’s no more gas furnaces at all, it’s a bandaid. We’re promoting the heat pump more because we’re starting to have some incentives and tax credits.

We take care of our employees, and I would say we’re reasonable. Everybody’s got families, so we’re basically eight hours a day, no weekends, no overtime, so you can go do your thing and still get home to your family. If you take care of somebody, give them a truck, and you’ve got a good work environment, everybody’s pretty much family here. I think we’ve got an excellent crew of people and they’re all dedicated. Folks here are content, and we want to make sure we have a good working environment for them.

What value do you see from the Local 104 rebate program?

What would help Kel-Aire secure more work?

For residential maintenance, for residential retrofits, whether it’s gas ductless splits, heat pumps, or whatever we’re installing – it’s a nice incentive to the home owner. And, it’s a nice introduction into explaining Local 104 and our craft, along with the education that sets us above everybody else. The rebate program is actually a way for you to open their eyes more in terms of what workforce is going into their home to do work.

I would say the rebate program is good.

But, to be honest, what the Union is doing to promote the contractors to different municipalities and being involved in politics. I think that awareness about who’s out there, what Union shops, and things like that. That is something new that I haven’t seen before. I think the partnership the Union and I have is huge and I’m leaning on that as an opportunity to get more work. The Union opened the door to that and those are a lot of those things

How many heat pumps are you installing now?

Summer 2024

I couldn’t have found on my own. If we keep going at this rate it’s gonna secure a lot of work.

If another contractor was sitting in front of you right now, what would be your advice regarding residential decarb?

Education. Education on the equipment and being able to convey that knowledge to the customer. That’s huge because if you have that, then you’ve got the folks that could install the equipment properly.

I don’t know how much I’d really bother with the gas part. I mean its HVAC, there’s still gonna be some of that, but I would focus on the electrification and heat pumps.

Union No. 371 Organizer. In addition to organizing production shops, he organized the Federal Building Security Guards in Northern California and later Central Valley.

Sal Rotolo

ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER DISTRICT 2 Sal was working for a non-union prosthesis company when his affection for unionized labor was cultivated. Local Union No. 371 made efforts to organize the prosthesis company and recognized his abilities and tenacity to organize labor during an organizing campaign. These efforts caught the attention of Local Union No. 371 and with their recommendation he found his new career at Greenheck Fan Corporation fabricating and later supervising the production of fire dampers. His leadership and affinity for the union led to his appointment as a Shop Steward.

In 1997, two years into his sheet metal career, he took a recommended position as a Local

Three years later he transferred to Local Union No. 162 to take a position as Director of Organizing and Youth 2 Youth Coordinator. During that time, Sal notably organized Indalex, a metal extrusion plant, and Simpson Strong Tie; these two shops alone were comprised of approximately 400 production workers—an impressive feat as a communicator and advocate for laborers as this was accomplished through bottom up organizing.

He further served the production workers as a Business Representative for Production Workers from 2003-2006.

Sal was elected Stockton Business Representative in 2006 after a successful campaign of visiting shops throughout the 29 counties and connecting with nearly 600 members. Upon his election, the former production worker became the JATC Coordinator and Building Trades Council President. He may have never hung duct, but he understood the industry and was always seeking ways to be of service to the members. He was instrumental in the adoption of the first City of Stockton Project Labor Agreement while serving as President of the San Joaquin Building Trades Council.

His dedication to serve the membership led to his appointments to serve on numerous trusts and councils, including healthcare and retirement plans, apprenticeship trusts, buil-

ding trades and central labor councils, as well as labor management cooperative trusts.

Sal continued as a dedicated Stockton Business Representative during and after the merge with Local Union No. 104 in 2012 and in 2018, Sal Rotolo was elected as Assistant Business Manager of District 2.

Throughout his union career, he would reflect and call to question “Did I do the best job I could do for the Local?” It is this commitment to self-disciple and self-betterment that has been the foundation to a meaningful career in service of the membership.

Sal is a two-time gold and two-time bronze Jiu-jitsu Master’s World Championship and two-time Pans winner, so it is evident that self-disciple and self-betterment has benefited him beyond his career.

He has a son, Domenick, and stepson, Brandon and both are members of Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 66 in Washington. Sal has a daughter, Nicole who is employed by Local Union No. 104 as an Administrative Assistant.

During his retirement, Sal is looking forward to midweek trips with great meals and occasional wine tasting, traveling to far-off places with his wife, Sia, such as Greece, Sicily, the Maldives, Thailand and Japan and, of course, continuing his jiu-jitsu training.

Randy Young

CODES & STANDARDS REPRESENTATIVE Randy Young became a member of SMW Local Union No. 162 in August of 1994 after being recruited by the owner of BN Mechanical, a shop signatory to Local 162 at the time, and was immediately indentured as a 2nd-year apprentice. In August 1998, he turned out as a building trades journeyperson, and recognizing his leadership ability, quickly became a foreperson.

In November of 1999, Randy was appointed to serve as an organizer for SMW Local 162 where he signed approximately eight shops and presided over 12 NLRB elections in Sacramento Valley shops. Clearly skilled in this arena, Randy later became Director of Organizing.

KEITH DIAS

NORTH BAY BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE

Prior to the pivotal merger with Local 104 in May 2012, Randy’s tenure as Local 162’s Financial Secretary-Treasurer which began in 2006, was characterized by a commitment to integrity and excellence. Thereafter, Randy was appointed as a Local 104 Business Representative. Randy assisted Codes and Standards Representative Dave Dias and Western States Council Administrator Erik Emblem. With the experience he gained, upon the retirement of Dave Dias in August 2020, Randy was appointed to fulfill the remainder of Dave’s term as Codes & Standards Representative where he continues to dedicate his expertise to enhancing industry standards and practices. His involvement in ASHRAE standards development projects marks him as a leader in HVAC innovation, notably for authoring one of the white papers that assessed the efficiency between return ductwork and open plenums. Randy’s role extends to his work with the California Energy Commission, where he meticulously evaluates energy-efficient upgrade proposals for the California Investor-Owned Utilities (IOU).

Randy’s tenure of 13 years on the Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) Committee is highlighted by his pivotal contributions to various code cycles, including spearheading initiatives to limit flexible duct usage to 5 feet and bolstering workforce standards through the inclusion of TABB, NEBB, and AABC technician certifications. His leadership extended to the A2L Task Force, the Legionella Task Group,

and chairing the Horticulture Task Group, resulting in codified language for indoor growing facilities.

As an alternate voting member on the NFPA 80 and 104 technical committees, Randy continued to push for safety and efficiency. His commitment to education and Fire Life Safety is further evidenced by his involvement in the development and construction of Fire Life Safety modules. These programs, utilized across Western States, offer practical training to both union members and fire officials, underscoring the critical need for thorough Fire Life Safety inspections.

Randy has served on myriad boards and councils and is actively serving as a Delegate to the Sacramento Central Labor Council, and as a Trustee to the SMW Pension Plan of Northern California.

Outside of his professional realm, Randy is a devoted grandfather to twin grandchildren, an avid golfer, and a keen angler who cherishes every moment life offers.

Well done, you!

Keith began his apprenticeship with Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 in 1987. As an apprentice, Keith landed at R.H. Tinney where he worked until he became a journeyperson in 1992. While employed by R.H. Tinney, Keith was a foreperson on a number of large HVAC and architectural sheet metal projects. In 2000, Keith moved on to Therma where he became a general foreperson.

With Keith’s potential and dedication evident, in 2015 he was appointed, and then elected, to serve as a North Bay Business Representative. Keith would also be appointed to serve on several boards and committees, including the Marin and Sonoma Building Trades Councils; the Western States Council; the Local 104 Health Care Plan; the Fairfield JATC; and Bay Area Training Trust.

Since his career began, Keith’s desire has always been to give back. So, in 2000, Keith became an instructor at the Bay Area Training JATC in San Leandro; then, in 2004 he was appointed to serve as Training Coordinator.

Keith currently lives in Sacramento with his wife, Erica. Together they have five adult children: two are college graduates and three are currently attending college. Recently, Keith also became a grandpa to a precious little girl, Ellie. Keith plans on fully enjoying his retirement by spending quality time with his family, fishing, golfing and travelling.

When the Bay Area Trust purchased the Fairfield property for the North Bay Training Center, Keith oversaw its construction, and once completed, he was appointed to serve as Training Coordinator for the Fairfield JATC.
