Congratulations to the delegates

elected to the 39th UA General

Convention which convenes on

August 1st in San Diego, California.

I look forward to joining you as we

elect the leadership team that will

guide the UA for the next 5 years.

We will also debate and vote on

many resolutions, some of which

could change the UA Constitution.

This is a great responsibility and I

am confident that you will treat it

as such and proudly represent the

membership of Local 440.

Congratulations also go out to

Service Apprentice Stephen Staf-

ford who, as champion of the ISP-

TA State Apprentice Contest, will

represent Local 440 at the UA

District 2 competition in Washing-

ton, DC. I was able to witness

Stephen‟s professionalism at the

State Contest and I am sure he will

give it his all in DC. Good Luck

Stephen!

SCHEDULED WAGE INCREASE

The current Col lect ive Bar-

gaining Agreements between

Local 440 and the MCA of

Indiana and Service Contrac-

tors Associat ion of Indiana

both cal l for a wage package

increase of $0.77 on June

6th.

Per the agreements, $0.02

of the increase will be al lot-

ted to the respective Indus-

try Funds of each associa-

tion. The agreements also

state that un-allotted in-

creases wil l go to wages un-

less otherwise directed by

the Trustees of National Pen-

sion Fund, Local 440 Health

& Welfare Fund, or the Local

440 Education Fund.

The Trustees of the National

Pension Fund and Education

Fund have determined that

no increase is needed. The

Trustees of the Local 440

Health & Welfare Fund wil l

meet this month to deter-

mine if an increase to the

current contr ibution amount

is needed to maintain suff i-

cient funding of the Plan.

Final al locations will be pre-

sented at the May 23 r d Union

Meeting.

The Residential / L ight Com-

mercial Agreement calls for a

$0.55 total package increase

beginning July 1 s t as part of

the Local 440 Schedule “A”.

Allocations of this increase

wil l be determined based on

final Mechanical/Service

CBA al locations.

2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS

As I‟m sure everyone is aware, we

are in a Presidential election year

and the Indiana Primary will be

held on Tuesday, May 3rd. The UA

has endorsed Hillary Clinton for

President based on her voting

record as it pertains to collective

bargaining and prevailing wage

issues. I know there are other

issues out there, issues that even

divide our own ranks, but at the

end of the day the right to collec-

tively bargain for a decent wage

and working conditions is para-

mount.

As we look to the November gen-

eral election, an election in which

Hoosier voters will also determine

our next Governor, I believe we

need to keep the same mindset.

We need to ask ourselves, who will

protect the interest of working

people? Who believes that our

industry model of signatory con-

tractors employing dues paying

union members is good for the

State of Indiana? Who sees the

benefit of a skilled, certified, drug

free work force? Who understands

the important role that our industry

plays in keeping the public safe.

These questions are why the ISPTA

is endorsing John Gregg for Gover-

nor. John has given every indica-

tion that he will protect working

people‟s rights and focus on is-

sues pertaining to jobs and educa-

tion and not the social issues that

have divided us over the last sev-

eral years.

I ask that each and every Local

440 member make sure that they

are registered to vote and go to

the polls this May and November

with these same questions in

mind. Let‟s work together to elect

leaders on the national, state, and

local levels who will uphold our

ideals as they pertain to employ-

ment and the ability to feed our

families.

CLOSING

In closing, I urge everyone to at-

tend our Years of Service Awards

presentation at this month‟s Union

Meeting. A listing of those receiv-

ing awards is included in this

newsletter.

Congratulations to the newest retirees!

Work on the Westside remains

steady. Here are a few of the

contractors and their projects in

my area:

Bowen Engineering is still prob-

ably the top dog in my area. The

Natural Gas conversion at Indi-

anapolis Power and Light is

moving right along. Unit 7

should be back online by the

time of this printing and the

remainder of this job will contin-

ue to employ Local 440 mem-

bers up until early summer.

They also have a water treat-

ment job at Stout that will start

later this year.

Bowen is still working on the

Southport Waste Water Treat-

ment Plant. This job has been a

great success. Business Manag-

er Bubba Johnson targeted this

Job to protect our piping work

from the open shops and un-

scrupulous crafts that will do

our work if assigned. In addi-

tion to Southport, Bowen also

has a crew working on the

Plainfield Water Treatment

Plant.

Freitag Weinhardt is moving

right along with the mainte-

nance work and some project

work at Ingredion (Starch Works

for us old timers). They also

have a crew on maintenance at

Belmont Waste Water Treat-

ment Plant and project work at

Eli Lilly.

BMWC has the maintenance at

Eli Lilly and several ongoing

projects at Corporate and the

Tech Center. Rumor is they

picked up a real nice job at

Rolls Royce, which should turn

into some recalls and manpow-

er requests for the job line. With

a crew size around 20 and du-

ration of over 2 years, this will

be a nice job.

North Mechanical also has a

nice job at Eli Lilly. It seems

slow to materialize, but will take

several 440 members once it

takes off. North also picked up

the slack when the HVACR con-

tractor at the Market Tower

project defaulted - look to hear

more on this project from Mike

Brooks in coming issues.

I was able to attend the Indiana

State Apprentice Contest last

month. The contest was held at

LU 136, Evansville. I have to

admit that the Indiana coordina-

tors and instructors who put

this on do a heck of a job! The

Local 440 apprentices who

represented local 440 made us

Proud! If these apprentices are

the future of the UA we are in

Great Shape.

I heard a comment from an

apprentice the other day which

struck a chord with me. The

apprentice said, “My foreman

told me there wasn‟t time fig-

ured into the job to show me

how to do something.” The first

time I heard that statement was

in 1976 when I was a first year

apprentice. I considered the

source and continued to learn

from the Journeyman I worked

with. It is each and every one of

our responsibilities to help train

the next generation of UA Me-

chanics. We can and do train

our apprentices on the job,

without sacrificing production.

It‟s the difference between us

and them!

See ya at the Meeting!

are several ongoing small pro-

jects between the Kokomo and

Tipton plants.

I would like for all of our mem-

bers to know that since we lost

the Yellow Card Status, which

meant all work done in the

Chrysler facilities would be

done Union, we are seeing

some non-union participation at

the Chrysler plants - not a lot,

but there is some! All we can

do brothers and sisters is prove

to them we are better trained,

more skilled, and a safer work

force, and the rest should take

care of itself!

I am not going to talk about

Travel Card work this month

because it is all we can do to

man our own work right now!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I would like to start this month‟s

article out by saying “spring has

sprung”! The weather is start-

ing to change, bringing warmer

temperatures. I have the first

“big mess” of crappie in the

freezer and mushrooms will be

popping anytime now. I‟m stock-

ing up on canola oil and sea-

soned flour for the big “fish and

„shroom fry” coming to the Fife

residence really soon!

Now on to the work picture in

the North. Work in the Northern

area is picking up with a few

new projects at Roche Diagnos-

tics along with additional pro-

jects in the Carmel and Fishers

areas. There is also some early

school work taking place in the

Kokomo area. Chrysler has not

released any big work, but there

I want to close by talking about

something near and dear to my

heart, Rebuilding Together Indy,

which is where volunteers go in

and rehab homes for the elderly

or less fortunate. This will be my

3rd straight year to be a “House

Captain”. It brings great joy to

my heart to know we are help-

ing less fortunate people with

things they cannot fix on their

own due to health or financial

situations.

This cannot be done without

your help brothers and sisters!

Continued from Page 3

The central area of our jurisdiction

(eastern Marion and Hancock

Counties) has never been a hot

bed of contract work, however

there is quite a bit of target work

currently taking place. Delta Fau-

cet, Firefighters Credit Union, Holy

Cross Lutheran, Cummins Head

Quarters at Indianapolis, I.U.

Chiller Replacement and Elanco

Animal Labs are all active and

providing man-hours for our mem-

bers. Please remember that the

foremen and stewards have the

responsibility to review and sign

all time sheets on these projects.

If you have any questions about

your responsibilities please call

the hall.

Many drug manufacturers offer

programs that will reduce your out

-of-pocket costs for prescriptions.

These programs are free, but may

have some rules or restrictions, so

you‟ll want to review carefully.

When you‟re ready to use their

coupon, simply present the cou-

pon to your pharmacist with a

valid prescription for your medica-

tion. The following is an example

of what is out there:

Program Name: Eliquis Co-Pay

Card

Provider: Bristol-Myers Squibb

Website: https://

www.eliquis.com/eliquis/eliquis-

360

How do I get the discount? Re-

quest or activate a card online.

How much can I save? Your co-

pay can be reduced to $10 per

fill, subject to a $3,800 maxi-

mum benefit per year. (Most

expire after certain period of

time and can only be used

once.)

Do I need insurance? Yes. The

card is for commercially insured

patients only.

This particular drug costs over

$300 for 60 tablets when taken

twice a day. The coupon allows

you to buy it for $10 with up to

24 refills; you are getting two

years of medicine for less than

the costs of one month with this

program!

Most mail order companies

usually will not dispense with

the coupon and then try to get

reimbursed. Take some time

and search the internet. You

may be pleasantly surprised at

what you find and save.

Another potential savings is the

Hospital Bill Audit Program which

pays up to $500 a year to any

participant who discovers and

recovers overcharges on his or

her hospital bills. Any participant

who discovers an overcharge

where a corrected provider billing

ultimately results in a savings to

the Plan will be paid the lesser of

$500 or 30% of the Plan savings.

Ask for an itemized bill when dis-

charged from the hospital.

To be eligible for this program, the

overcharge must be more than

$25 and be for covered charges

under our Plan. If benefits are

being coordinated with another

plan, this program applies only if

our Plan is the primary plan and

pays benefits first. To receive

payment, the overcharge must be

resolved within 45 days after

being discharged.

Well, now that we have gotten

through St. Patty‟s day and East-

er, as well as the Super Bowl and

the Final Four, it is time for the

Boys of Summer to get to work. I

mean this in 2 ways; work

throughout the jurisdiction is pick-

ing up and Major League Baseball

is back in action.

I know it has been a tough road

back after the downturn that

started in 2008, but we should

get to full employment this sum-

mer, and by the looks of it we

should stay that way for a while.

Work in the Columbus area is on

the upswing as well as in the sur-

rounding southern counties. Sulli-

van & Poore was successful on

the 2nd phase at Major Hospital in

Shelbyville, and Nading is getting

ready to start on the Equine Cen-

ter in Shelbyville as well. At this

time, work on the Eagle Valley

project is in full swing with more

manpower calls coming in on a

weekly basis.

We have seen the strain on Certi-

fied Welders throughout the US

and have begun reaching out to

our sister locals across the Mid-

west and South. With their help

we will continue to man this work.

For those of you on the road, if

you want to come home now is

the time hit on the job line and

come back home. We need to

man our jurisdiction and make

sure our customers are taken

care of.

At our monthly labor management

meeting for the Eagle Valley pro-

ject, I was told by CB&I manage-

ment that they are pleased with

our attendance and craftsman-

ship that has taken place to date.

I assured them that this will con-

tinue throughout this project as

is the case on all projects in our

jurisdiction. I have always felt

that we have the highest quality

craftspeople in our Local, and it

continually shows on each and

every project our members work

on. This job has been tough

getting started but we are now

seeing that the bulk of the work

left is ours and I know that our

members are ready to get the

job done!

The Indiana Primary is on May

3rd this year. We have couple of

candidates on the Democrat

ticket in Clinton and Sanders

who are vying to be our next

President, and of course we

have the group on the other

side that is putting on a show

for the entire world to see; one

of whom, the world tunes in to

see what he will say next.

We have a great candidate for

Governor in John Gregg, and

our Superintendent of Public

Instruction Glenda Ritz is up for

re-election as well. These two

races go hand-in-hand. Glenda

has been battling the current

administration tooth and nail to

reverse the damage done by

years of failed educational poli-

cies. Unfortunately it has fallen

on deaf ears in the Statehouse.

With John‟s help as Governor,

Glenda‟s policy ideas, which I

believe will do more for educa-

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Well I guess its official; spring is

here at least for me. I was able to

get in the first mowing and picked

up the massive amounts of sticks

and everything else that has blown

onto my property from 5 miles away.

Well, maybe my wife did most of the

picking up, l better mention that just

in case she gets a copy of this arti-

cle.

The Annual Easter egg hunt was a

great success. I'm not sure how

many eggs the staff stuffed but it

took four of us around thirty

minutes to spread out the eggs and

probably less than three minutes for

the kids to pick up the eggs. The

staff did a great job helping the

Easter Bunny.

The work outlook in the east is still

looking up. While Ball State Univer-

sity has not released any new pro-

jects, my understanding is there are

projects on the books that should

be coming out shortly. Ball Memori-

al Hospital has released a few pro-

jects. The remodel there will be

spread over a few years, releasing

floors and wings separately.

The wastewater treatment plant in

Muncie Indiana was awarded to

Bowen Engineering. The total of the

infrastructure budget is around $60

million and it looks like around $30

million at the facility.

United Piping was successful in

getting the shutdown at Brockway

Glass in Lapel Indiana. The shut-

down should last a couple months

with possibility of overtime.

In this Presidential election year, I

leave you with the following dates.

tors and students than anything I

can remember in the last decade,

can be put in place.

The last thing I would like to touch

on is certifications. We need Certi-

fied Welders, Riggers, CWI, Signal

Persons, Brazers and Medical Gas

Installers. I feel we have the best

training center in the U.S. and the

best instructors in the UA. If you

don‟t have these certifications, con-

tact the Training Center and get

them. If you have certs, please

make sure they are current. The

demand for certified people is in-

creasing, and we need to keep train-

ing to meet these demands.

How about those CUBS!!!!

Brothers and Sisters,

Believe it or not, 2016 is 25% over

already. It seems like only yester-

day we were still talking about

snow and now we‟re starting to cut

grass and outdoor games have

begun. My golf game is not any

better, but the enjoyment of it is.

The peace and quiet of the out-

doors is always a great escape

from the hustle and bustle of every-

day life. It won‟t be long and it will

be time to get a garden planted.

The 2016 Indiana State Pipe

Trades Apprentice Contest was

held at Local 136 in Evansville on

March 29th and 30th. Chase

Starnes (welding), Taylor

McGlaughlin (plumbing), Keith Wil-

cox (pipefitting) and Stephen Staf-

ford (HVACR service) competed and

represented our Local very well.

I am very proud to announce that

Local 440‟s HVACR Service con-

testant Stephen Stafford claimed

1st place in his classification. Con-

gratulations Stephen!!! The other

winners were Cole Witte from Local

136 in welding, Sam Osvalds from

Local 210 in plumbing, and Justin

Webb from Local 172 in pipefitting.

All four champions will represent

Indiana in the District 2 contest in

Washington DC June 6-10. Congrat-

ulations to all who participated and

I wish the winners the best of luck

at the District 2 contest.

The Indiana Building Trades Coordi-

nators Association has recently

created another association, the

Indiana Careers in Construction

Association. The purpose of this

association is to develop and main-

tain a social media marketing cam-

paign focusing on recruitment of

high school aged individuals. The

association has nonprofit status so

that we may acquire funding from

multiple sources. The website

(www.builttosucceed.org) is up and

running. Please check it out and

share it with friends, family, and

anyone who might be interested in

the construction trades.

As part of the marketing initiative,

we have an agreement with IHSAA

to advertise at all of the high school

championship sporting events.

Most recently we advertised at the

Boys State Basketball Champion-

ships held at Bankers Life Field-

house on March 26th.

The campaign started with selec-

tion of 12 apprentices from various

trades as our spokespersons. Jor-

dan Bell, a 1st year apprentice from

Local 440, was selected by the

Association. I have great confi-

dence that he and the other

spokespersons will help spread the

word about building trades appren-

ticeships and that we provide one

of the best career opportunities

available.

I leave you with this quote:

"The basic goal of labor will not

change. It is - as it has always

been, and I'm sure always will be -

to better the standards of life for all

those who work for wages and to

seek decency and justice and digni-

ty for all Americans."
