July 2010
I’m hoping everyone had a safe Independence Day weekend. I think we can all appreciate the greatness of
America, and realize we live in the best country in the world. We are not without our problems, but I can’t
think of any place I would rather live. I’m hoping that each of you took the opportunity to voice your opinion
during the California primary elections. Meg Whitman is attacking Unions and trying to blame them for the
mess in which we find our state. I know we are all aware of how we managed to get here. We have an
enormous battle ahead of us, and we need to pull together to change the current political direction, and
help get California back on track.
I’m proud to announce that Local 92 is doing its’ part to promote and maintain safe working conditions on our
job sites. Nationally, the Boilermakers lost-time injury rate is 0.39 per 200,000 man hours. This is their
lowest rate ever. Keep working safe!
California Public Works construction is up 7.4%, and construction in the private sector is up 4.5%. These
numbers indicate that California’s economy is on the upswing. Local 92 has18-20 PLA’s that are just waiting
for funding so they can move forward. Jerry Brown has promised that if he is elected governor that he will
allow permits for at least 70-80% of the projects. His election will directly benefit Local 92 Boilermakers. So,
as you can see, your participation and support, in the November election, will help determine the future for
you, and your family. A vote for Jerry Brown is not only a vote for labor, but a vote for jobs.
Local 92 was well represented in the latest edition of the Boilermaker Reporter. On page 18 there is an
article regarding LA/OC Building and Construction Trades organizing a labor rally at the Los Angeles City
Hall. Several Local 92 Boilermakers attended. The rally was reported on KTLA Channel 5 news. We
submitted a news article suggestion to the Boilermaker Reporter and they published a photo of our members
holding our banner on the steps of LA City Hall. The rally was to stress the importance of distribution of
federal stimulus money to begin projects that would put Boilermakers to work.
I cannot stress enough, the importance of your voting privilege. If you have not done so already, you may
register to vote on Local 92’s website. Our News Page has a tab that you may click on to register. You
must be registered at least 30 days before the election. If you have moved or relocated since the last time
you registered you must re-register with your most current address. Again, your livelihood will depend on
which candidate you chose. I suggest that you select labor friendly candidates. I will make a
recommendation in our September issue of Local 92’s Newsletter, as to which candidates our research
indicates will be beneficial to labor.
Fraternally,
Eddie Marquez
