REPORT

Summer Brings New Challenges Martyn A. Piper

T

o say things are busy at the Regional Council right

now is an understatement. There is plenty of action and plenty of issues on the table. We recently concluded the 300-hitter program at the International Training Center in Las Vegas, where 146 of our front-line journeymen from all four locals attended extensive training on leadership, mentoring, and communications. A couple of months before that we had 25 third-year apprentices attend similar training in Vegas and in between, a dozen members attended the mentorship program. The organizational and logistical challenges of this made it no easy task, but thanks to some intensive and time-consuming work by Kim Belbin at the Training Centre, all went off without a hitch.

Thanks also to Derrick Schulte, George Wilson and Dave Knight for shepherding the attendees throughout these three-day events.

We now have the results of the scaffolding survey and, while it clearly shows no support for scaffolding as a designated occupation in Alberta, there is clearly interest in having some level of accreditation for scaffolders. The question we and our contractors must now turn our attention to, is whether scaffolding should become a designated trade like that of a carpenter or millwright, which on the surface may seem appealing, but which changes the game considerably for our union, as the program would then be administered by Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education. Schooling would take place in colleges (such as SAIT Polytechnic and NAIT). There would be trade advisory committees, yet the trade would remain non-compulsory. We will be meeting our signatory contractors sometime in August to discuss next steps, as any move forward like this would have significant consequences for the Carpenters’ Training program. We must come up with a unified position with our contractors as the government department needs to be notified before the end of September as to our position.

As I write this article, we are having some complex discussions with the contractors and the building trades with respect to drug and alcohol testing processes. It seems whichever way we turn the program is wrought with challenges. Of particular concern is how the Case Management Aftercare program is managed and how it dovetails with RSAP, return-to-work agreements, in-house residential care, availability and funding. There are no quick fixes and I think it is best said that it is a work in progress.

Even though the expiry of the construction collective agreements is some way off, we are in the early planning stages of sorting through issues with our building trades partners, determining which issues 4

HARDHAT | SUMMER 2014

will fall into framework bargaining and negotiated on a collective basis, and which issues we will take to our respective trade tables in the fall.

Please provide your input into the process by accessing the bargaining survey on the Regional Council website.

The result of the successful Ply Gem/Gienow merger has presented new challenges as we work with the company to combine the two units into one. Unfortunately, there have been a number of labour relations implications, but as of last weekend’s meetings I am optimistic we have put the lion’s share of issues to rest. The total number of members in the two facilities we now represent is more than 650 people.

The much-awaited Labour Code Review was made public in the spring of 2014. It is a well written factual history of construction labour relations that reaches back into the early 1970s. Andrew C.L. Sims, the author, addressed most if not all issues that have at one time or another surfaced in Alberta. While the recommendations do not roll back the legislation we have today, which is particularly challenging when it comes to organizing, the review does arrive at a balanced perspective for which we have indicated support. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding the impending changes to the provincial leadership, we’ve put the recommendations on the back burner.

Hopefully we can revisit the matter once the dust settles down the hill.

The summer, as always, brings Local picnics, golf tournaments and other social events when members, family and friends can meet jobsite colleagues in a less formal setting than; it is these events that build that sense of solidarity amongst members. Hopefully, you have taken the opportunity to partake in these social gatherings.

That’s it for now. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

News in Brief

A roundup of news and events from around the region

Summer Fun for Everyone

BEFORE

It’s that time of year again: a day to put away your safety gear and tools and gather the family for the annual Local 1325 summer picnic at Edmonton’s Alberta Carpenters Training Centre, northeast parking lot (15210- 123 Avenue). This year’s festivities, slated for August 10, will include face painting, magicians, clowns, two bouncy castles, a baseball toss, hockey shootout and more. It’s a great opportunity to grab a hotdog or burger and catch up with your fellow union members.

Scaffolder Occupation Fails to Net Support AFTER The results are in from a third-party web-based survey of stakeholders in Alberta as to whether support exists for making scaffolding a designated occupation under the Apprenticeship and Industry Training Act. The Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board recommended this designation, and participation in it is voluntary.

Of the more than 1,000 employees polled in the Banister Research and Consulting poll completed in November 2013, just 20 per cent said the designation would have a positive impact on Alberta’s industry, and 75 per cent reported it would have a negative impact. Meanwhile, twofifths of the 73 employers (43 per cent) saw a scaffolding designation as positive, versus 49 per cent who said it would negatively affect the industry.

Just 21 per cent of employees and 47 per cent of employers said they would support scaffolding as a designated occupation, while 90 per cent of polled project owners said they supported the proposed designation.

The poll revealed that most were concerned with safety and training.

Employees also reported on the potential for negative or positive impacts of the proposed designation. Of the 75 per cent who said it would have a negative impact, most (59 per cent) cited a need for certification and qualifications, while 37 per cent reported the designation would negatively affect work and safety. Just 21 per cent said they would support changes to the act and 79 per cent said they’d oppose.

Martyn Piper, executive secretary treasurer of the Alberta Regional Council of Carpenters and Allied Workers, says the survey indicates that “at the end of the day there is no broad base support for scaffolding as an occupation, but there was some support in the industry for some sort of designation.” Piper says the industry is in a “period of contemplation” and next steps will include considering what the union supports, if not a designated occupation status for scaffolders.

The End of an Era Members in southern Alberta have bid adieu to their long-time home base on 10 Street NW, now that the new administrative building is complete in northeast Calgary.

Martyn Piper, ARCCAW’s executive secretary treasurer, says the Kensington digs are long past their due date for the growing union membership. He welcomes the move. The new 12,000-square-foot “unique and contemporary designed” address is intended to complement the Provincial Training and Administration Centre in Edmonton, complete with the same iconic “pipes” built into the exterior design. Along with more space, the new building contains a hall for membership meetings and spacey and well-functioning offices in a location with easy access to both the Calgary International Airport, Deerfoot Trail and transit.

Students Try a Trade on for Size For the fifth year in a row, the Alberta Carpenters Training Centre hosted its popular Try A Trade booth for carpentry at the Edmonton EXPO Centre, this year on May 14 and 15. The booth gave students from elementary school to post-secondary the opportunity to cut and shape a piece of wood, to try carpentry on for size as a future profession.

“We have thousands of young people come through every year,” says

www.isafety.ca

Len Bryden, director of training and apprenticeship at the Alberta Carpenters Training Centre. “We believe it’s very important. Every chance we get, we promote the trade and the future of the trade of carpentry.

This is the one big thing that the training centre does every year.” Bryden adds that the idea behind the interactive booth is to expose young people to carpentry from a young age.

In May, while at work at Shell Albian in Fort McMurray, he noticed in a pre-assessment that the bell end of an exchanger suspended overhead was too close to the work area to safely install a scaffold deck. He let his supervisor know and the job was put on hold until the overhead hazard was secured. Great job, Real!

Game On With the UBC’s 300-hitter program in Las Vegas, today’s masters initiate tomorrow’s leaders

By ROBBIE JEFFREY

n professional baseball, a .300 hitter the distinction

can make an all-star out of a junior.

Batting .300 in a season – hitting 300 of every 1,000 pitches – is a benchmark. Hitters in the .298 or .299 range are so determined to make it into the .300 hitters club that no .299 batter in the last 25 years has ever walked during their final plate appearance of the season.

This is the kind of person the United Brotherhood of Carpenters wants in its own “300-hitter program” at the International Training Center in Las Vegas. Not baseball players, of course, but the journeymen most fit to lead the new roster of UBC-bred labour.

This is the second year of the journeyman 300-hitter program, which has already trained several thousand UBC members. Martyn Piper, executive secretary-treasurer of the Alberta Regional Council of Carpenters and Allied Workers (ARCCAW), and staff were tasked with selecting 150 journeymen he considered to be “heavy hitters” in their field.

“The program is intended to focus on those journeymen who have the ability and the willingness to influence others, who are skilled, productive and respected among their fellow members,” Piper says.

“They’re future leaders for our contractors and our union,” he elaborates. “By strengthening their leadership skills, we’ll ensure a stronger future for our members and their employers.”

Randy O’Connell, a 30-year-old journeyman carpenter, was selected for the program. As he entered the facility, he was astounded. “It was incredible,” he says. “There was underwater welding for welders, retractable roofs for scaffolders, all kinds of stuff.” At nearly a million square feet, the ITC is a sprawling complex of shops, conference spaces, classrooms, dining facilities and guest rooms. The ITC is a

brisk 15-minute drive from Caesar’s Palace and the Bellagio, but the journeymen faced a party-prohibitive regimen. After touching down in Nevada on Thursday, O’Connell began the program immediately and was in class from 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. every day until Sunday. He boarded another plane home right after his last class.

With content developed by the UBC’s Department of Education & Training, the classes are taught by people who might counsel Fortune 500 companies. “We have people on our end that are academics, PhDs and so on, developing leadership courses like the 300-hitter program which elevate the individuals in the organization and add value,” Piper says.

The program discussed UBC priorities and communication models, rights and responsibilities and how to influence, motivate and mentor.

“A lot of it was about how to be professional and how the right kind of communication can make or break a job,” O’Connell says. “With the competition that’s out there, we have to be the best.” The program also discussed strategies for acquiring market share and the crucial role of feedback and constructive criticism.

Those selected for the 300-hitter program were chosen for their exceptional leadership skills, and the program aimed to refine and develop those traits so journeymen like O’Connell could return home with a fresh outlook on their roles as mentors and members of the Brotherhood. “I always had an idea of what it takes to be a good worker and leader,” O’Connell says, “but the 300-hitter program just made it clearer that it can affect a lot of issues down the chain. The big thing is you give everybody a fair chance, and you communicate well with them and treat them as an equal. You have to be that way yourself; you can’t just say the words. If you don’t believe in it, other people won’t.”

enobia Barbeau never set

Barbeau landed a seasonal gig at a landscaping and loading company, doing various tasks, including running a Bobcat.

“My boss told me I was really mechanically inclined,” says Barbeau, now an apprentice.

“He gave me a contact for a millwright shop. I really love it. I would never want to change my career path now.”

Barbeau represents a growing number of female tradespeople throughout the industry, and opportunities for skilled workers like her have continued to crop up. This past April, she was among a group of 24 third-year carpenter, scaffolding and millwright apprentices from Alberta who travelled to Las Vegas for INDUSTRY INSIDERS: Two dozen third-year apprentices got a four-day look at Brotherhood and the industry. a four-day course titled “Helping Build Our Industries.” Apprentices from all across North America attend the annual event, setting up shop at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ aspects of the trip.

teachers and the sushi. (Three, if you include the shopping.) The International Training Center is known for its magnificent facilities and equipment, but staff spare no expense when feeding the apprentices, especially with the decadent sushi buffet. “It was probably the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life,” says Barbeau. “I was so surprised that a place meant for training had such a great chef. It was fancy and beautiful.”

Sullivan opted for some heartier fare when he had the opportunity.

“One night after being on the Strip for a while, we came back and realized we could build our own sandwiches,” he says. “A friend and I made the biggest sandwich I think I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Good food and meeting like-minded apprentices from across Canada will be a cherished part of the experience for the group from Alberta. The course was both intense and enlightening. But what they

really come away with is knowledge and that will prove most valuable as they embark on careers in a growing industry.

“There is still a big demand for most trades across Alberta,” says Piper. “And the union is a big, diverse operation with 12,500 members and growing. These apprentices will gain a sense of belonging and what it’s like to be part of such a large organization. They are proud, confident, empowered and enthused. “They come back from an experience like this and they spread the word. They know what role they can now play and how they fit in.”

With the “Helping Build Our Industries” course in their rear-view mirror, Alberta’s third-year apprentices have clearly learned something contrary to what most believe about that famed city in the desert.

So it turns out what happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas.

Alberta Carpenter/ Scaffolder Competition Members of Local 1325 got to show what they are made of at the annual Provincial Carpentry and Scaffolder Competition on July 11. The Alberta Carpenters Training Centre in Edmonton hosted the all-day event, which saw competitors vie for bragging rights and a trip to Toronto for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America National Apprenticeship Contest in August.

Chad Gerrits of Local 1325 was at the top of his game, taking first place for Carpentry in the provincials. Next, Gerrits will vie for the top spot in Canada at the national contest August 21 and 22 in Toronto. He was joined on the podium by fellow members of 1325, Philip Shaw, who placed second, and Marc Mayrand, who took third place. Runners-up were Martin Echter of Local 2103 from Calgary, and Aaron Freker and Kaleb Zilke of Local 1325.

Local 1325 also staked its claim on the scaffolding branch of the contest, taking the first six spots in the competition. Christy Ennett took top prize, followed by Collin Jellinson in second, Ryan Nicholson in third, and runners-up Colton Kopp, Fred McDonald, and Tony Nicolson.

It’s What’s on the Inside Drytec Interiors regains market share by demonstrating the truth of union ideals

ictor Pereira is a great among greats

in an industry with an exceptionally high bar for distinction. When Martyn Piper, executive secretary treasurer of the Alberta Regional Council of Carpenters and Allied Workers (ARCCAW), calls you a “fixture in the industry,” you have the licence to speak highly of yourself. Pereira, however, radiates modesty.

The owner and founder of Drytec Interiors, whose Portuguese background underscores his gratitude for his employees, hasn’t had the time to let praise go to his head. From its founding in 2011, Drytec Interiors stood out as one of Alberta’s few union interior systems companies specializing in design-assist and construction services. You don’t win points for simply showing up, though.

“Pereira attracts good people,” Piper says. “He’s an empowering guy, who works extremely hard and understands the nuances of being a union contractor but still competing out there in the marketplace.” In 2012, Bob Hugh, senior business representative for millwrights in Local 1460, told Hard Hat “our greatest edge in fighting the market share battle against non-union labour is the excellence of our work and the consistency with which we perform it. If our contractors and the owners they

work for see us as true trade professionals … and if we perform on time or better, on or under budget, then they will want to hire us again.”

Drytec was around for barely a year then, but it proved to have these qualities. The company keeps excellent timelines; it commonly finishes projects a month or two in advance and recently completed work for boilermakers three months ahead of schedule.

To understand why Drytec Interiors is held in such high regard, you have to consider the context from which it arose. “Up until about 1983 or 1984, ARCCAW probably had 80 per cent of the interior systems drywall market in this province,” Piper says. “Because of the events of the early 1980s, a number of companies went out of business and we’ve never recovered that market share.” After the recession of 1981, Alberta witnessed the most militant decade in its labour history.

“The problem with the 1980s was that people lost confidence in unions and their projects,” Pereira says. “Everybody lost a lot of work.” A reputation built from years of SUMMER 2014 | HARDHAT

Mentoring the Next Generation

D

avid Robinson remembers visiting the

millwright union hall as a young boy with his dad.

Then, he wasn’t sure if he would ever learn a trade or follow in the family footsteps. Now, after 26 years as a journeyman millwright, he’s back in the hall – shaping a new generation of millwright apprentices.

Growing up on a farm, Robinson spent his days working the land with his father. A high school graduate at 16, Robinson’s evenings were spent pumping gas and thinking about the future.

His father, also a member of Local 1460 Alberta Millwrights, mentioned an opening for a millwright apprentice. He stressed that after the four years of training, a journeyman ticket could never be lost. For Robinson, an obvious selling point was working alongside his dad again and training with a man who already understood him.

draws from his time in the field. Skills taught to him are passed along to students. “We support each other. Millwrights know that apprentices will teach the next generation of workers,” he explains.

Robinson also enjoys the variety in his role. “You are a jack of all trades.

You teach a little bit of electrical, pipefitting, refrigeration, math, blueprints – enough to be dangerous at everything,” he says with a smile.

And Robinson’s father, now a 38-year union member, still visits and helps at the hall. “I pass on a lot of what he has taught me,” says Robinson.

“We support each other. Millwrights know that apprentices will teach the next generation of workers.”

But Robinson stuck with the trade past the four years, and he hasn’t looked back. “It was a good fit. I had the strength to work and the journeymen had the knowledge and patience to teach me,” he says.

After 26 years of field work, including a nine-year maintenance position with Capital Power, Robinson got an appealing offer.

“I’m always looking for new ways to keep myself marketable.

Some of my other tickets were expiring and I went back to the hall for training. They offered me a chance to instruct,” he says.

Since February, Robinson has embraced his instructing role and the chance to reconnect with members of the Local 1460 Alberta Millwrights hall. The hall pays union dues to the Millwrights Training Trust Fund in Edmonton, but operates its own programming and courses. Its “train the trainer” courses all run out of the $67.6-million United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) International Training Center in Las Vegas, where Robinson will travel about six times in the next year.

Robinson and his colleagues often develop new training courses if they see an unmet need. “If you are willing to learn, I’m willing to teach,” says Robinson. While instructing, he also

Meet the Apprentice

Following Family Footsteps

I

t’s not always easy to leave the town where you

grew up, especially when 146 of your relatives live there.

So when Alex Marino decided to become a millwright apprentice earlier this year, the 16-hour drive from his hometown of Kamloops to his first job in Fort McMurray, for Clearwater Energy Services, was nerve-racking.

But he wasn’t leaving all of his support behind. His uncle, a millwright supervisor at the site, was the one who convinced Marino to give the apprenticeship a try. “He kept saying it was the type of work that gave you tons of opportunity – to travel, make a great living and learn endless new things,” says Marino, 24. “I was at a point where I wanted to try something new.”

Growing up, Marino loved working with his hands. His father was a carpenter and the two often built sheds and home projects together. After high school, Marino quickly secured a carpentry job at Custom Trailer, where his dad worked. But after six years there, dreams of travel flooded his mind, as did his uncle’s promises of a career that offered more flexibility.

With such enthusiasm, Marino has been spreading the word.

A few of his friends and cousins have already joined him in apprenticing. But even with the company, there are things he misses about home. “I’m Italian. At home everyone is cooking all the time. We have these big family meals. The pasta on site is nowhere near as good as my mom’s,” Marino says.

When asked where he most hopes the job will take him, he is quick to answer: Italy.

“I wish I had decided to do this sooner. I choose when I want to work, and I’m learning so much from the journeymen training me.”

So he took a leap of faith. In the last year, much of his millwright training has been through the Millwrights Training Trust Fund and the Millwrights Training Centre, which partners with the Local 1460 Millwrights union in Edmonton to offer specialized trade courses. For Marino, the extra training is a step closer to earning his journeyman millwright ticket.

“When I first heard of the centre, I didn’t understand why I needed to take those extra courses. But they teach you with one-on-one training. I went there for two days and I knew so many things that I surprised the guys back at work,” he says.

Marino says he’s learned more in one year as an apprentice than ever before. He has developed skills in math, precision work, mining knowledge, pump repair and pipe fitting, to name a few. And his uncle’s promise of greater job flexibility has been delivered. Because Marino choose to work long contracts for most of the year, he can now enjoy most of his summer work-free, in a new home he recently purchased back in Kamloops. “I wish I had decided to do this sooner. I choose when I want to work, and I’m learning so much from the journeymen training me.”

The Season for Training

S

ummer is upon us and this always means one thing: time to

make hay while the sun shines. With our training centres at capacity, we have added more scaffold training classes in Edmonton to help us train more members. We are still having issues with filling our Carpenter Period 1 and 2 classes in Edmonton, but I hope to see this change in the fall through more advertising targeting not just members, but also the general public. All of our programs are industry leaders in their curriculum and delivery. Visit www.abcarptc.ab.ca and click on “courses” to see what is being offered at each location. And as usual, I remind everyone to keep their safety training certifications current, so dispatch or job statuses are not affected or put on hold.

You may have received a plastic card in the mail, with a Quick Response or QR code on it recently. This is a UBCJA training verification (TVC), which is linked to our international TRAIN database. For the past few years, we have been entering training data for members that will show up on any smartphone or device that can read the QR Code. This will help eliminate the many cards and certifications needed to show to contractors, and in time, make things easier to quickly verify a member’s training. TRAIN database specialists are currently entering all data now on file for members, but this will take some time with our large membership.

In the meantime, I encourage you to make sure the Alberta Carpenters Training Centre in Edmonton has all your current training records from within and outside of the ACTC. This is just another example of the benefits of membership, and the forward-thinking of this international organization.

I was able to attend a portion of the first 150-member journeyman 300-hitter program at our International Training Center (ITC) in Las Vegas recently.

Including networking for members, learning more about what the UBC has to offer, workshops on leadership and communication and more, it’s a great program. This latest instalment was well received and enjoyed by members lucky enough to attend. If you are interested in attending an upcoming session, contact your union representative by attending your Local’s meetings, and make sure you are on the member email list to receive updates on opportunities, events and major announcements.

Our annual Alberta Provincial Apprenticeship Contest was held July 11-12 this year at our Edmonton shops. Six carpenters and six scaffolders went head-to-head, competing for cash, prizes and, of course, bragging rights. Our carpenter winner nets a trip to Toronto in August to compete in the National UBC Apprenticeship Contest, where carpenters, millwrights, drywallers and floor layers will compete in their respective trades for the ultimate win. This is also the time when training directors, coordinators, trustees and staff from across Canada meet for two days to discuss national issues. I will be there with my counterparts, working to ensure continued work on standardization of training, whether for skills or safety of our members. We continue to work hard and strive for the best for all UBC members.

For more on the Apprenticeship Contest, see page 18.

Enjoy the relatively short, but beautiful, Alberta summer and be safe in your work and your off-work life!

Local 1460 Millwrights

New Health Benefits System

J

uly 1 marked the advent of significant changes to the Millwrights

Local 1460 health and welfare plan. Your board of trustees has made every effort to minimize eligibility disruptions, by overlapping the new and old qualification rules for existing members for a period of six months, from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. While we understand change can be uncomfortable, your trustees believe the new plan will provide a welcome measure of freedom to all members, empowering each to chart his or her own benefits eligibility course.

When the benefit plan was established in 1968, it was designed to use an eligibility system known as the Brotherhood system, which required millwrights to work a significant number of hours with participating employers before qualifying for benefits. Once millwrights completed their qualifying hours, they became part of the Brotherhood System, and benefits continued uninterrupted – as long as they regularly took dispatch jobs in the unionized millwright industry. That system of benefit eligibility operated reasonably well, but failed to keep pace with union members’ desires for greater work-life balance.

The trustees concluded that it was time to empower members to take control of their benefit eligibility, by replacing the outdated Brotherhood system with an hour bank system. An hour bank is like a bank account, but it holds a record of hours worked instead of dollars. The change will allow members to control their eligibility, by allowing them to replenish or withdraw from hour banks, based on their own work patterns. The hours worked for participating employers are deposited into an hour bank in a member’s name. Hours are automatically deducted from it to pay for his or her benefit coverage. Those who qualified as a plan member under the old Brotherhood system will see their benefits continue uninterrupted under the new hour bank system.

For each existing plan member, 720 hours will be deposited in his or her hour bank, a quantity sufficient to ensure eligibility for six months of coverage, from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. Since 120 hours are deducted per one month of benefit coverage, 720 stored hours is equivalent to six months of future coverage.

Those who work more hours than are needed for immediate coverage can store up to 720 additional hours in their hour banks. Plan members with fewer than 120 hours stored in their hour banks can make self-payments to continue coverage.

The monthly self-payment is $240.

Parting Shot

Windmills and Tradition

Pictured from the third level of an operating windmill in Holland, Michigan, this parting shot features Jan Diederik “Diek” Medendorp, a third-generation millwright and miller inspecting some wheat before grinding. (Medendorp died in January of 2011 at age 89 in Zuidlaren, the Netherlands.)

In this type of windmill, the grain flows from the bottom of the hopper to the centre of the millstones.

As the millstones rotate, the flour emerges from the circumference of the circular stones and drops through a chute, to bins on the lower floor.

According to Dutch tradition, the positioning of blades of a windmill can communicate both joy and mourning. To show joy – such as the celebration of a wedding, a birth or other special event – the blade is stopped just before it reaches its highest, or vertical, position.

Mourning is demonstrated by fixing the windmill’s upper sail after the blade has passed its highest position, or to the left going counter-clockwise.
