2012 IRE Program

Another way that the Council will seek to serve its constituency is through sponsoring educational programs and seminars on topics of particular interest to union roofing contractors during the annual International Roofing Expo (IRE). The UCC made its first appearance on the IRE agenda this February when it sponsored a breakfast and a panel discussion on “Jurisdictional Issues Facing Roofing Contractors.”

Following introductory remarks by NRCA Executive Vice President Bill Good, the forty (40) or so persons in attendance were treated to a lively discussion of the many ways that jurisdictional issues manifest themselves across types of work and geographic areas. Jim Hadel, Special Assistant to

International Roofers Union President Kinsey Robinson, discussed the great lengths to which the Roofers Union goes to avoid arbitrating jurisdictional disputes between the Roofers and other construction trades. The International Union much prefers resolving c o n f l i c t s t h r o u g h negotiated Memoranda

of Understanding, an approach that ensures that if an agreement can be reached, both parties will be happy. Arbitration proceedings are unpredictable and often yield results that do not satisfy either party. The International Roofers Union’s approach has worked very well. In recent years, only a handful of jurisdictional disputes have been decided through arbitration.

Roof Removal

Rich Harvey, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Roofing Contractors Association followed with a presentation on problems roofing contractors in the southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania areas are facing with respect to roof removal work. The

After years of incessant lobbying, arguing, pleasing and cajoling by Affiliate Executives, NRCA finally agreed last year to create a “home” within the organization for its union contractor members. The new entity is called the Union Contractors Council. At present, the Council consists of NRCA member contractors and Association Executives from eight (8) areas of the country that have a strong union presence. They include Boston, Philadelphia, Akron-Canton, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Los Angeles and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. It is expected that the Council will grow as the founding members reach out to contractors and associations in other area of the country.

The Union Contractors Council will serve as the “voice” of NRCA’s union-affiliated members, informing and thereby strengthening policy making within NRCA. The Council has already been granted the privilege of appointing one of its members to the NRCA Government Relations Committee, which should bring a needed dose of the “signatory perspective: to its consideration of national legislative and regulatory issues that cut across union vs. non-union lines. We are pleased to report that former Association President and current NRCA Director Tim Blue (Blue’s Roofing Company, Milpitas) has agreed to represent the UCC on this most important committee.

The Union Contractors Council will also provide a forum for NRCA’s union contractor members to meet and exchange ideas and information on developments and trends within the unionized sector of the roofing industry. A number of specific projects are under consideration, including creating a national database of collective bargaining agreements and union wage and fringe rates.

PV and Vegetative Roofing

Bill McHugh, Executive Director of the Ch icago Roof ing Cont rac to r s Association, closed the session with a presentation on jurisdictional issues in photovoltaic and vegetative roofing. Since both are “emerging technologies: in roofing, it is not surprising that related trades (electricians, landscapers, laborers) have asserted competing jurisdictional claims. It may be years before these disputes are finally settled, but there is reason for roofing contractors to be optimistic.

On the local level in Chicago, the roofing industry has won two local Joint Conference Board decisions involving disputes with the Laborers over the installation of vegetative roofing systems. The preponderance of the work was awarded to the Roofers, including the installation of the membrane, moisture guard, growing media, pavers, drainage mat and insulation. The Laborers were only awarded the retaining walls and the planting of the vegetation.

The Chicago roofing industry has been less successful asserting its claims against Landscapers who have been awarded contracts to install vegetative roofs. The National Labor Relations Board found that the Roofers Union failed to show that its members have more experience than the Landscapers and ultimately determined that the assignment of the green roofing work at issue was up to the contractor who was awarded the contract. Thankfully, this decision was not precedential and revolved around the experience of the roofing workers, not the roofing contractor.

While these traditional jurisdictional battles continue, the roofing industry seems to be winning the “green roofing” war on a number of other fronts. The federal government’s evolving definitions of “green occupations” are trending in the industry’s favor. Both vegetative and photovoltaic roof systems are currently listed under the occupation “roofer”. The roofing industry is also

international misclassification of workers performing roof removal work on public works as Laborers, rather that as Roofers, has put legitimate roofing contractors at a distinct competitive disadvantage.

The Roofers and Laborers Unions have long agreed that removing an existing roof in order to install a new roof is the work of the Roofer, while removing the roof as part of the demolition of a building is the work of the Laborer. Unfortunately, when work is slow, jurisdictional lines sometimes become blurred. The potential for mischief grows exponentially when awarding agencies mischaracterize roof removal work as “demolition of the roof.” This is what is happening in Rich Harvey’s area. Local roofing contractors are accordingly finding it difficult to protect this work and successfully compete against “cheaters”.

Metal Roofing

Bay Area Association Executive Director Dr. Bill Callahan followed with a p resen ta t ion i l lu s t r a t ing how jurisdictional issues play themselves out in a variety of venues, not simply in formal and informal discussion between competing Unions. He showed how various aspects of the question :Who can perform metal work in California?” were resolved before a wide array of parties having nothing to do with unions, including the Contractors State License Board, the Department of Industrial Re la t ions and the Workers ’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau.

The moral of the metal roofing story, Callahan said, is that claiming a type of work in a collective bargaining agreement with the Roofers Union is no guarantee that signatory contractors will be legally permitted to do that work and/or successfully compete for it against other trades. Jurisdictional battles are “not just for Unions anymore”. They are waged, won and lost on many different fronts. Attention must be paid to all of them because “what you don’t know can hurt you.”

UCC Debut—Continued from page 1 reaping ancillary benefits as code development bodies rush to devise and promote green building standards. The new editions of the International Building Code, Residential Code, Green Construction Code and Fire Code all cover photovoltaic and vegetative roofing and all of them either place these new standards directly within the section on roofing or reference the section on roofing.

The “green roofing” movement prevents roofing contractors with an opportunity to assert jurisdiction by “rebranding” themselves as “General Contractors of the Roof.” Roofs may increasingly be called upon to perform other functions, but “job one” is to keep moisture out of buildings. Who is better qualified than the roofing contractor to direct and control each and every activity that bears on the integrity of the roofing system and the building it protects?

MIOSHA Residential Fall MIOSHA Residential Fall MIOSHA Residential Fall Protection AmendedProtection AmendedProtection Amended

The revised CSHD-COM-04-1R1, Residential Fall Protection Compliance Criteria, went into effect June 16, 2011. Under the revised instruction, employers engaged in residential construction activities must comply with Part 45 - Fall Protection, Rule 1926.501(b)(13). If the employer can prove infeasibility or a greater hazard, they are allowed to implement a fall protection plan. The plan must be in writing and site-specific.

The enforcement policy has been extended until September 16, 2012.

In January 2012, MIOSHA created a workgroup together with residential builders and representatives of the residential industry. The workgroup developed feasible methods of fall protection for each phase of the building process, identified residential construction work operations were use of conventional fall protection could be considered “infeasible or a greater hazard”, and created material to assist employers in developing an acceptable site-specific fall protection plan and performing a job hazard analysis. The results of the workgroup were presented to the industry at the Residential Fall Protection Solutions Forum on March 29th.

Listed below is a fall protection plan alternative that will be allowed for residential construction:

Employers may incorporate the use of slide guards in their fall protection plans during roof sheathing and roofing operations. This is only allowed on roofs with ground-to-eave heights less than 18 feet and do not exceed a 6:12 pitch.

In 2009 the company went through another name change, ALCO Products LLC, when it was purchased by Lee Vandermyde and Stone Pointe. The company was sold to someone whom Bob respected and who had the same values, ethics, integrity, responsibility and respect that humbly built the company in 1912.

asphalt roof coating market and went from a local Detroit area supplier to a regional vendor, opening up markets in the central states. T h e ex p an s io n opened doors to the building supply and roofing wholesale

markets.

New products were developed to keep pace with the ever changing asphalt roof coating needs of commercial contractors. The early beginnings included Plastic Roof Cement, Fiber Roof Coating, Primer, and Cold Process Adhesive. Alumagard Aluminum roof coating was a major breakthrough for National Varnish Co. and the company took advantage of its exceptional product that stands on its own still today.

In 1990 the company changed its name to ALCO-NVC Inc. and ALCO became the brand name for the company.

Since that time, other exceptional products developed include SBS Adhesive and SBS Trowel Grade, CAP Mastic and the CAP Mastic System. The past ten years saw the inclusion of Ice and Water Protector and 24/7 Flashing Cement.

Bob Bair has left a legacy that will be long remembered. He was forthright in his business relationships, flexible with vendors and customers, and worked relentlessly to produce products of superior quality, provide exceptional customer service and serve the roofing industry with honesty and sincerity. But the true value of Bob Bair is reflected in the individuals who became employees, then members of the ALCO family. He cared deeply for each and every employee and their family members. Many of h is employees have forged successful careers at ALCO.

Aluminum Supply Company (ASCO), Detroit, recently announced their designation as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), awarded by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). With this new certification, ASCO will be able to help MDOT prequalified contractors meet their DBE involvement goals on state county, and city projects.

“The overall goal of the DBE program is to ensure that firms owned and controlled by minorities, women, and other socially and economically disadvantaged persons have the opportunity to grow and become self-sufficient,” states the MDOT website. Through ASCO’s inclusion in this program, they hope to participate more aggressively in projects that affect the Michigan economy.

The ability for any business to be successful requires certain vision, foresight, exceptional flexibility and leadership. The centennial celebration of ALCO acknowledges the leadership of the Bair family to leave a legacy for our industry.

National Varnish Co. began humbly on Fort Street, Detroit MI, in 1912. Clarence W. Bair began the business and sold varnish, egg preservative, tinners red, screen enamel, and shingle stain oil. The small items were delivered via street car. In 1914 property was purchased on Cahalan Street, Detroit, where C. W. Bair built a shop.

In 1937, Robert D. Bair, son of Clarence, became active in the company. During the leadership of Robert D., National Varnish Co. began m a n u f a c t u r i n g foundation coating for

auto undercoating and Creosote for tree paint.

National Varnish Co. had a long run on Cahalan Street, but on Labor Day 1969, a fire broke out at the plant. This fire prompted Mr. Bair to gather what assets were available and move his factory across town to 609 St Jean Street, Detroit in 1970.

That same year, Robert A. Bair (Bob) returned home from serving our country during the Vietnam conflict. He became National Varnish Co.’s President in 1973. By 1979 Bob had surrounded himself with a core of workers, including his 3 brothers, to move the company forward. The forward movement included a 2-man sales force, a plant supervisor, 2 trucks with drivers, 4 plant workers and office help. The core group changed in dynamics several different times, but the values, integrity and humility that defined the Bair family was always present.

Bob led the company for 40 years, and during his tenure many successes highlight his leadership. The company began to expand its involvement in the
