The

Business Manager's Report

Rick Werner

President/Business Manager

LOOKING AHEAD, WHERE WE STAND As we near the end of 2024, it is impossible to ignore the sense of division that has settled across our country. The recent election has highlighted just how polarized we have become on so many issues; many of us are feeling the weight of inflation and economic uncertainty. These pressures are real, and they make our work as Union members more important than ever. As we prepare for the potential challenges that may arise with the future Trump administration, it is crucial that we not only stay informed and proactive, but that we also remember the strength and solidarity that Local 104 provides.

The road ahead may bring policies and proposals that could impact our trade, our training programs, our safety on the job and our wages. Specifically, we are anticipating attempts to water down our Registered Apprenticeship standards, by promoting “industry-recognized apprenticeship programs” (IRAPs) that lack the rigorous training, mentorship, and oversight that define a part of our Union and apprenticeship standards.

These IRAPs threaten to diminish the skills and craftsmanship of our trade that have been in place for over 100 years, opening the door for lower-quality training programs that would undermine the standards we have worked hard to uphold. So it is essential that we stand united in defending our apprenticeships, which are not only a source of pride for our members but are also a bedrock of our industry’s quality and safety.

We may also see renewed attacks on Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) and the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets the Federal Prevailing Wage. These measures are designed to ensure that workers on federally funded projects earn fair wages that reflect their skills and expertise. Weakening these protections could directly impact our wages and the standards of work across our projects, diminishing both the quality and safety of the industry. When our safety, pay and benefits are threatened, it is not only our members who feel the impact, our families and communities are impacted as well. These potential changes underscore why we need to stay proactive, informed, and unified. By standing together, we are equipped to protect the values and standards that set us apart.

Despite these uncertainties, I am incredibly proud of all we have accomplished collectively over this past year. Local 104 has remained steadfast in its mission to uplift our members and expand our influence in California’s construction industry, even in the face of a challenging post-pandemic economy. Our officers and staff have worked tirelessly to support members, and our efforts have yielded tangible results.

It is also important to me that I recognize the dedication and achievements of our Organizing Department this past year. Working throughout Local 104’s 49 counties, our organizers have been instrumental in bringing new contractors into the fold. Their commitment to organizing has strengthened our Union’s reach, while our Compliance Department has allowed us to address “bad actors” who undermine the values we uphold. So far this year, the Compliance Department has recovered $750,000 in underpaid wages and penalties from non-signatory employers who attempted to cheat the system and their employees on projects that we all supported through the taxes we pay. The $750,000 is only 25% of the cases presented to the Division of Labor and Standards; we are waiting on responses for the other 75%. Whether by signing new contractors or holding violators accountable, our Organizing Department has proven invaluable in expanding our market share and protecting the quality and integrity of our trade.

3 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

Our Codes and Standards Department has also been hard at work, engaging with ASHRAE 62.1 to clarify and improve maintenance standards for any system providing ventilation. Additionally, the new 2025 California Mechanical Code, effective January 1, 2026, will include expanded workforce standards and specific certifications. This progress will provide lasting benefits to our members by strengthening standards and creating more opportunities to certify the expertise we bring to every project.

Our Business Representatives also deserve special recognition for their work on behalf of our members and the industry, whether it’s assisting members and/or employers with work opportunities, or members with workplace issues/grievances, providing support in navigating benefits, or helping members facing personal challenges. In addition, they attend multiple training seminars, council and committee meetings throughout the year and serve as trustees on our various plans. Their efforts are at the core of what Local 104 exemplifies. They serve as a vital link between the membership and our leadership, ensuring that every member has a voice and feels represented.

One of the most impressive aspects of our organization to highlight this year has been our member-driven Campaign for Jobs. Over 1,400 action shifts were filled at more than 150 events, a testament to the commitment and dedication of our members. These actions have included: advocating for PLAs at City Council meetings, securing fair standards for our workers, and working to elect labor champions to city councils and school boards across our region.

Together we have been active voices for labor-friendly policies and have made a positive difference in our communities. These actions demonstrate that, even in challenging times, our Union’s voice remains strong and effective.

Our legislative efforts have also reached Sacramento, where we successfully passed SB 1321—a crucial piece of legislation signed into law by Governor Newsom. This bill places vital guardrails around the Employment Training Panel (ETP), an agency that has been distributing taxpayer funds to contractors, some of whom have cheated workers out of their rightful wages. With SB 1321, there will be stricter accountability and transparency, ensuring that taxpayer funds support fair contractors and honest practices. This legislative victory is a powerful example of what we can achieve when we advocate for our principles and fight for fair labor standards.

Looking ahead, Local 104 is beginning to evaluate some of our Union pension investments with a fresh perspective. We are committed to supporting developments that directly benefit our members, employers and communities, investing in projects where Local 104 members are the ones performing the work and building a healthier future for us all. Seeking responsible investments will help our pension funds grow while fostering job opportunities and development in our local economy—a win-win for our members and their families.

As we approach 2025, let’s remember that the strength of Local 104 lies in its unity. In the face of political and economic challenges, standing together will allow us to push back against policies that threaten our livelihoods, protect our standards, and continue building a brighter future.

Wishing each of you a joyful holiday season and a New Year of health, happiness, and solidarity.

In strength and solidarity,

Rick Werner

The

Financial Secretary’s Report

SMW LOCAL UNION NO. 104 MEMBER HARDSHIP FUND In 2015, SMW Local Union No. 104 established the SMW Local Union No. 104 Member Hardship Fund to provide financial assistance to Local Union No. 104 members or a member’s dependent facing an extraordinary and significant hardship. Significant hardship is defined as a sudden, and extreme situation that causes extraordinary financial need including out-of-pocket medical or disability-related expenses, extraordinary expenses related to natural disasters, acts of God, accident, disability, illness, injury, or death of the member or member’s dependent; or extraordinary expenses related to the member’s extended unemployment or military deployment. “Extended Unemployment” has very defined guidelines, all of which must be met. The fund is accessible to all members and retired members in good standing per the SMART Constitution and Ritual who are experiencing significant hardship (as defined above).

SMW Local Union No. 104’s Executive Board and General Membership have directed proceeds generated by SMW Local Union No. 104 member events to fund the Member Hardship Fund.

Mike Nesbitt

Financial Secretary-Treasurer/ Recording Secretary

Members who are experiencing an extraordinary and significant hardship can obtain an application by contacting my office. SMW Local Union No. 104’s establishment of this fund exists to provide crucial aid to those in need within our Union.

DEPENDENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION LETTERS

Sent by the SMW Local Union No. 104 Health Care Plan for District 1 Members In October District 1 & 2 members were sent a letter from the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 104 Benefits Fund notifying them that the SMW Local Union No. 104 Health Care Plan contracted with Part D Advisors (PDA) to administer the Dependent Eligibility Verification for medical and dental plans. This verification is to confirm that covered dependents (spouses, domestic partners, and dependent children) currently enrolled in the benefits meet the eligibility requirements as stated in the Plan. Eligibility verification is fundamental to the proper oversight, administration, utilization, and costs of the benefit program.

To receive the eligibility information needed, the PDA Verification team will be mailing out a Dependent Eligibility Verification Form, which many may have received already. YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE DEPENDENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION IS MANDATORY. Failure to respond puts the member and dependents at the risk of losing coverage under the Plan. Responses can be made via mail or electronically (addresses provided on letter).

Should you have any questions regarding the Dependent Eligibility Verification Form, please contact the PDA Verification Team at (833) 852-1810 from 5:00am to 5:00pm PST Monday through Friday.

Thank you for your participation and cooperation in the verification process. Alhough it will take some time to complete, it is beneficial.

SANTA CLARA VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER With Air Systems, Inc. 9 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

Air Systems, Inc. helping to shape the future of heath services in the South Bay Try to picture a more beautiful site than a large piece of duct soaring across a clear Sunday sky in the South Bay. It was the perfect conditions to catch up with our Local 104 members at Air Systems, Inc. as they executed a crane pick on the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Project (SCVMC) in San Jose.

Air Systems, Inc. is playing a pivotal role in the development of the SCVMC new Child, Adolescent, and Adult Behavioral Health Services Center in San Jose, California. This state-of-the-art, 207,000-square-foot facility is set to be a transformative addition to the region’s healthcare infrastructure, consolidating the county’s behavioral health offerings under one roof and expanding vital services for children, adolescents, and adults in need of psychiatric care.

Designed by architectual firm, HGA, the new center will be the first Santa Clara County-operated inpatient facility dedicated specifically to children and adolescents requiring behavioral health services. In addition to a dedicated floor for young patients, the facility will feature services for adults, emergency psychiatric services (EPS), and an urgent care unit, making it a crucial resource for the local commuWinter 2024

nity.

Air Systems, Inc., a trusted name in providing comprehensive facility solutions across Northern California, is delivering key mechanical services for the project. Specializing in HVAC installation, mechanical design, and building systems, the company has been integral to ensuring the success of this complex and high-profile healthcare project.

The installation work performed by Air Systems, Inc., includes the installation of over 300,000 pounds of HVAC and specialty ductwork, alongside more than 5 miles of fabricated piping. The team also worked closely with the project’s complex health and safety compliance requirements, navigating the challenging HCAI/OSHPD (California Department of Public Health) approval processes to successfully install hundreds of Phoenix valves, 16 exhaust fans, 10 pumps, 10 air handling units (AHUs), 40 fan coil units (FCUs), and 12 large heat pumps.

This impressive mechanical installation effort is essential for ensuring the hospital’s ability to maintain the critical environmental conditions needed for 10

patient care, particularly in the facility’s specialized behavioral health areas.

The SCVMC Behavioral Health Services Center project encountered several delays prior to the commencement of construction, which threatened to push back the opening date. Webcor, the general contractor, was brought on board late in the process but quickly developed a coordinated and aggressive plan to meet the project’s timeline.

Air Systems, Inc., was a key player in helping to get the project back on track, working seamlessly with Webcor and the other project stakeholders to accelerate the mechanical installation process without compromising quality or safety. The result has been a strong collaborative effort to ensure that this important community healthcare resource will be completed on time.

For Air Systems, Inc., the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center project reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence in the delivery of building

systems for healthcare facilities across Northern California. With over 40 years of experience in mechanical design, installation, and building maintenance, Air Systems, Inc., has earned a reputation as a leader in the field, particularly for complex, large-scale projects like this one.

As the project continues through its scheduled completion in June 2025, Air Systems, Inc.’s team remains focused on meeting the needs of the community, providing essential services that will contribute to the long-term success of the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Behavioral Health Services Center.

As the SCVMC project demonstrates, Air Systems, Inc., continues to build upon its foundation of trust and skilled work, shaping the future of healthcare facilities and creating safe, comfortable, and sustainable environments for patients and healthcare providers alike.

Stay tuned for further updates on the project as it moves towards its grand opening in 2025!

Campaign for Jobs is making a difference!

Although the numbers are still unofficial, it looks like 85-90% of Local 104’s endorsed candidates won their election on November 5. That is a huge success and really speaks to the amount of work Local 104 members do with our elected allies across our region. For this election cycle, 684 members and guests participated in 1,327 shifts spread across 140 different Campaign For Jobs actions. No other group doing this work is able to claim the same level of activism and we stand out as not only a partner, but also an asset to candidates running for office. We fight for these local candidates so they can fight for us! Congrats Local 104, on all of your hard work and dedication.

Yes, We Got a Merced City-Wide PLA! History was made as the Merced City Council unanimously voted to adopt a Project Labor Agreement with the Valley Building Trades! This agreement will create good, local union construction jobs and expand apprenticeship opportunities, marking a significant victory for working people in Merced. A huge thank you to the members of Local 104 who showed up and spoke out in support of our community!

Spotlight on State Agencies:

Strengthening Compliance and Worker Safety Through Collaborative Advocacy Michael Mark, Planning and Development Director with Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union No. 104, recently took a significant step in fostering collaboration across key regulatory agencies and advocacy groups. As his role as the chair of the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), in partnership with the State Building Trades Council, Michael helped organize an impactful meeting on October 21, 2024. This meeting brought together representatives from the CSLB, California’s Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), OSHA, the U.S. Department of Labor, and other critical agencies. Over 50 attendees gathered to discuss the importance of agency partnerships in enforcing state labor laws and protecting workers’ rights.

Alongside the President of the State Building and Construction Trades Chris Hannan, Michael emphasized the need to enhance inter-agency partnerships and compliance efforts to ensure that fair competition in the industry never comes at the cost of worker safety. The discussions centered on improving referral systems, facilitating effective coordination between agencies, and addressing licensing, wage, safety, insurance, and tax compliance concerns. In addition to Michael helping facilitate this panel discussion, our Business Development Department was present to ask insightful questions and to network with various commissioners representing the agencies. By promoting a unified approach to enforcement, Local 104 is helping to strengthen protections for workers across California and ensure that the industry operates in a way that values both safety and fairness.

Our commitment to ensuring there is collaboration between our different government agencies underscores Local Union No. 104’s ongoing dedication to advocating for workers and setting a higher standard for compliance within the industry.

Local 104 Member Profile

Rebecca Suen - East Bay Interview by Vince Sugrue

Thank you for joining me, Rebecca. To start, can you tell me how you got into construction and a bit about your background?

Sure. I spent nine years in the Army, which helped me pay for college. My first job after college wasn’t ideal, but it was a start. After about a year, I began looking for new opportunities, but the pandemic hit, making it difficult to find anything. I had heard about Helmets to Hardhats during my time in the Army, but never considered it seriously because I had college plans.

As I started looking into it more, I discovered Local 104’s Veteran Direct Entry Program. Although I knew nothing about sheet metal work, I decided to give it a shot and applied to several unions.

What was the transition like, moving from an office job to becoming a sheet metal worker?

It was definitely different. I had never done construction before or been on a job site. But I wasn’t new to manual labor or tools, thanks to my Army experience and hobbies like working on my motorcycle and truck. My first day was overwhelming, with new terms and tools I had never heard of. Fortunately, I worked with people who were happy to teach me. instead, I’ve had supportive journeymen who taught me a lot.

And how did that process go for you?

I was accepted into the Veteran Direct Entry Program, but the timing of when I would actually start was uncertain. Initially, I declined a pre-apprenticeship because I had a decent-paying office job. However, a year into the pandemic, I couldn’t handle the office job anymore. The more I looked into engineering jobs, which I studied in college, the more I realized they didn’t interest me. I quit my job on short notice and waited for an opportunity with a union. Eventually, I got the call and started my apprenticeship in June 2022.

That sounds like a great experience. What do you enjoy most about the trade?

I love the variety and the problem-solving aspect of the job. Nothing ever goes to plan in construction, so there’s always something new to tackle. It can be

19 SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION

frustrating, but also rewarding to step back and see what I’ve built. It feels more satisfying than sitting at a computer for eight hours.

How has it been working for Southland?

I love working for Southland. They were my third rotation, and after I finished my rotations, I asked to go back. They wanted me back, too. I mostly work in the round department now, learning and operating different machines. It’s been a fantastic learning experience.

You’re very active in Campaign For Jobs activities.

Why is that important to you?

Having spent time in the military, I value the camaraderie and mutual support. In a corporate environment, I felt isolated and unsure of acceptable behavior and who to talk to about issues. Being part of a union gives me a sense of belonging and the assurance that someone is there to hold employers accountable. It’s important to me that we support each other and maintain strong representation.

You’ve spoken at city council meetings, showing a lot of bravery. What motivates you to put yourself out there?

Is there a union event or action that stands out to you as particularly impactful?

I remember speaking at the Livermore City Council for a Project Labor Agreement (PLA). Seeing my Superintendent and other committed members there was inspiring. It showed that some people genuinely care about our cause and aren’t just going through the motions.

How do you think we can inspire more members to be active in the union?

It’s challenging because some people feel forced into participation. They might not see the point or understand the importance of union activities. Offering more variety in activities and reminding members why unions matter could help. People need to see the benefits and understand the value of their involvement.

Lastly, if you had a message for 10,000 of our members, what would it be?

Do the best you can every day. It’s simple but powerful.

I wasn’t always a people person, but my job in the Army required me to talk to people, sometimes in challenging situations. I learned to fake social confidence, which has helped me. After that experience, public speaking doesn’t seem as daunting.
