American Jobs Plan takes center stage at NABTU Legislative Conference Insulators International Staff — Tue, Jun 8, 2021 @ 15:06 PM
After a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference returned, albeit virtually in 2021 with representatives from all 14 affiliated building trades attending the conference that was held on June 5.
For NABTU and its affiliated members, the virtual conference was a big step for the union construction industry, as it begins to transition back to normal operations with the pandemic winding down in the U.S.
Following the introduction of each union’s General President, NABTU President Sean McGarvey opened the virtual conference.
“In the darkest days of this country, when no one knew which way was up, you kept working. You are essential,” McGarvey said. “You, Brothers and Sisters, are what is right about this country.”
McGarvey then highlighted the Biden Administration and the support the federal government is giving the building trades and its members, including pension relief, large projects and continually publicly promoting unions as a solution. He felt the administration has supported unions every step of the way.
“If the past few months are a sign of what's to come as far as the poor, the working class, and the building trades are concerned - where we’re not just outside the gates, but actually have a seat at the table, and a voice in deciding critical economic, energy, and labor issues for our great nation - Brothers and Sisters, there are even better days ahead for us,” McGarvey said.
His speech then shifted from federal politics to NABTU accomplishments over the last two years, including the Trades Women Build Nations Conference, apprenticeship readiness programs and the fact that over a quarter of MC3 graduates are women.
“The time is now to create ladders of opportunity, to provide opportunities to the underserved communities, to empower hard working Americans to unionize,” McGarvey said. “The time is now to finish this job and for the first time in our lifetime have a President who works for us,” he added.
Following McGarvey was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calf.), who applauded the union-focused legislation, which has already passed and put workers first. She then discussed the need to pass the Protect the Right to Organize (PRO) Act and explained why it is important to give all Americans the opportunity to organize and join a union. Pelosi also urged all in attendance to contact elected officials and tell them to pass the American Jobs Plan so we can continue growing unions as the workforce to execute all of the federal funding.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) followed Pelosi and focused his speech on the growth opportunities for trade unions through the American Jobs Plan and the PRO Act.
“We will see growth of our construction industry through federal projects with the infrastructure plan. We will work to ensure all federal projects are done under a project labor agreement. Every federal dollar should be union labor,” he said. “Once America is unionized, protecting workers from the bosses and getting rid of the scabs, we can truly bring up the union workers.”
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm then spoke on the infrastructure bill and mentioned the Insulators Union for good, green jobs.
“We are betting on American workers to win,” she said. “You are the ones that keep the lights on and the trains running. You are the ones that have built our public infrastructure. Your safety standards ensure that all workers go home to their families every night. America owes you a great debt, and that’s why this administration is laser-focused on seizing the opportunity of the clean energy economy for union workers.”
The next set of guest speakers included House Ways and Means Committee Chair Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.) and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.
“Unions are going to be indispensable to building our future,” Buttigieg said. “I hope it is clear to see where this administration stands - it is on your side.”
He explained why this is the best chance to transform the country’s infrastructure with a union workforce.
“These jobs are real and available to the American people if we have the vision and the support for the American Jobs Plan Act,” Buttigieg said.
He then applauded the building trades for their registered apprenticeship programs and workforce development, which helps grow the industry. Buttigieg also lauded the building trades for increasing their membership by recruiting members of the underserved communities into their ranks.
The final speakers before conference workshops began were U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Senate Finance Committee Chair Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). They both applauded the unions and focused their messaging on passing the American Jobs Plan Act.
Following the speakers, a virtual Legislative Infrastructure Workshop took place, with NABTU Legislative Representatives Jim Brewer and Ross Maradian discussing the Biden administration’s first 100 days in office, legislation and how the administration supports union building trades members.
Topics of the workshop included the American Jobs Plan; registered apprenticeship programs; labor standards such as local hire and community benefit agreements; and clean energy developments. Following their updates, there was a question and answer segment. Topics related to the Insulators Union included green and clean energy efforts.
The final portion of the Legislative Conference was a workshop for multiemployer pension plans, something that affects all of our building trades, councils and Local Unions. The workshop was led by the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans (NCCMP) and discussed the special financial assistance program, outlined the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s (PBGC) current rules and processes and COBRA premium subsidies. Again, attendees of the conference had a chance after the presentation to ask questions and engage with the presenters of the multiemployer workshop.

Value Engineering
The catchall term “value engineering” describes a studied approach to reducing building costs without compromising quality.
This often entails comparing a range of construction methods and materials to determine the most cost-effective means of obtaining a desired structural, aesthetic, or durability standard.
But when it comes to insulation, the analysis needs to work in the opposite direction. The process is almost never done with the long-term ramifications of building operation in mind. Because in many situations, real "value engineering" could mean increasing the insulation thickness to offer the owner reduced cost to operate a building, along with a reduced carbon footprint and decreased greenhouse gas emissions.
The problem with value engineering mechanical insulation is that the cost to operate the building will increase as mechanical insulation is eliminated or reduced. When mechanical insulation is reduced, the equipment within a facility works harder, thus increasing operating costs and decreasing the life of the equipment.
Removing mechanical insulation from a new construction project may cost the owner many thousands, if not millions, of dollars over the life of the building. By not investing in insulation up front, an owner may end up paying more.
Usually, insulation is thought of as an added expense. Instead, it should be viewed as an investment, as ROI for properly installed mechanical insulation is dramatic, often times accomplished in as little as a year.

Congresswoman Sanchez promotes mechanical insulation in legislation.
Insulators International Staff — Fri, May 21, 2021 @ 11:05 AM
California Congresswoman Linda Sanchez made sure to reference legislation that she supports regarding mechanical insulation during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on infrastructure financing on May 19.
Congresswoman Sanchez made the case for investing in mechanical insulation in her southern California district and in areas throughout the U.S. She laid out her points by explaining how the legislation would benefit working class families.
She said investing in mechanical insulation is one of the easiest ways to help the environment. Eliminating wasted use of energy through pipes and mechanical systems will
lower energy bills for families.
Her major point surrounded the good paying, union jobs that would be created. Members of the Insulators Union would be put to work on projects throughout the country,
working to eliminate emissions.
The legislation, H.R. 848, better known as the GREEN Act contains a set of provisions to limit emissions, lower carbon footprints and other environmental initiatives. Congresswoman Sanchez was one of the original sponsors of the legislation.
She was the author of a portion of the bill that offers tax credits to businesses and municipalities who commit to investing in mechanical insulation systems.
While President Biden has introduced a large, comprehensive infrastructure plan titled the American Jobs Plan, Sanchez would like to see green initiatives and working class families be brought along as well.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Union Workers are not overpaid and you are just simply underpaid. Think about it. Think about how much you are really worth at work. How much do you value yourself?

What is Mechanical Insulation? Mechanical insulation, also known as the “forgotten technology”, is thermal insulation used on piping, equipment, and all types of mechanical systems, including boilers, HVAC systems, and ducts. Mechanical insulation serves the following functions:
- Conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Regulate the temperature of process systems
- Condensation control and mold prevention
- Personnel protection from hot or cold surfaces
