Disaster brings out the best in the Carpenters

brotherhood

Members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters have rallied to assist those in need hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Ward Person, a thirty year member of Alaska Piledrivers Local 2520 volun-teered his time to the Red Cross and went to Baton Rouge. “It is tough to even get a shower and cell phone reception isn’t very good.” Brother Per-son commented and added, “Donations are greatly appreciated and des-perately needed.”

In Jacksonville, Mississippi UBC volunteers gathered supplies and brought them to the distribution center they set up. "When the people started unloading the trucks, they had tears in their eyes," said Michael Lemay of the Brotherhood of Carpenters. "They could not believe how generous Jacksonville was." Lemay says volunteers fed between eight and ten thou-sand people at his distribution center, but, there are still huge needs. Some mothers are coming to the shelters in tears, saying their babies have been wearing the same clothes for days. Some little ones have severe rashes, others have come down with high fevers from drinking the bad water.

In Mobile, AL, Business Man-ager J.O. Richardson said that their relief effort started with volunteers buying items them-selves and then passing out the supplies at the Training Center.

Numerous families were af-fected by the tragedy called

Katrina and UBC members mobilized to help them. The following pictures show some of their efforts.

Alaska regional council of carpenters joins the effort… Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf States with such force that thousands may be dead, and an uncountable amount of people homeless. Hurricane Rita followed with her destruction. Experts believe it will take months before people get back to work in hurricane-ravaged areas. Some workers may not have jobs to return to and others may opt to move away and find work elsewhere. Many of these are our Broth-ers and Sisters in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. The Alaska Regional Council is working with the UBC and area Locals to provide aid and relief to

those members whose lives were shattered by this disaster. The ARCC has set up the ARCC Hurricane Relief Fund where 100% of the contributions will go directly to our Brother and Sister Carpenters, Piledrivers, Millwrights, Divers, and Industrial Workers affected by the hurricane. All members are strongly encouraged to donate what they can. While we enjoy relative PLEASE SEND CONTRIBUTIONS TO: prosperity, others are suffering from the worst crisis they may ever see. Every little bit ARCC Hurricane Relief Fund helps. c/o Alaska Regional Council of Carpenters 410 Denali Street, Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501

Thank you for your generosity!

If you’re interested in making a donation to hurri-cane victims, please send your contributions to the ARCC Hurricane Relief Fund (see front page for mailing information).

HEALTH & WELFARE/PENSION TRUSTS LOOK TO MERGE

Although it is far from being a foregone conclusion, talks between the Southern Carpenters H&W/Defined Contribution (Locals 1281 and 2247) and the Northern Carpenters H&W/Defined Contribution (Locals 1243, 1501, and 2520) have indicated that a merger of the Trusts is likely.

The Southern Trust presented a proposal that stated, in short, “As you are aware, there have been ongoing discussions regarding the potential to merge our Health & Security and Defined Contribution with yours...we feel the time to move these discussions to a faster track is now.” To which the Northern Trust responded, in part, “In sum, the Northern Trus-tees strongly believe that a merger of the respective trusts is in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries and we look forward to mutually working together towards an agreeable merger as soon as feasible.”

There are some plan issues to resolve, however, much of the coverage and basic plan documents are similar as prior to 1984 the Northern and Southern were under the same Trust.

A merger should cut administration, legal, consultant, auditing, meeting, and other costs while providing for a larger col-lective pool of participants allowing for stronger bargaining. This could result in lower costs and/or increased benefits to all members.

Merging of Trusts has provided many benefits and the UBC has encouraged Trusts across the nation to consolidate. Three years ago there were hundreds of Health & Welfare Trusts within the United States under the UBC and now there are only eighty two. Of the thirty-four Regional Councils in the United States, eleven now have a single H&W/Pension Trust. The UBC has also been working on other options on how these funds can further save money including exploring a nationwide prescription plan.

Carpenter’s son is 10th in Rocket Science in the Nation!

Dear Carpenters, My air-powered pop bottle rocket took 10th place at the National Science Olympiad Tournament at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in May. I also earned 12th place in Astronomy and 19th place in Fossil Identifica-tion competing against 60 other state and regional champions. Our team’s bridge weighed 4.84 grams (about as much as a snack pack of chips) and held 14.96kg (about 30 lbs), winning the Silver Medal! More than half of the members of the Alaska team from Teeland Middle School scored in the top 20 in at least one of their events. Thank you so much for your support!
