New York Blood Center (NYBC) announced a blood emergency today, as the region’s ongoing heatwave, summer travel, and a recent spike in COVID-19 cases have caused a significant decrease in donations over the past several weeks. Hospitals and patients rely upon a steady flow of donors to receive life-saving blood donations, but these factors have caused the blood supply to become unstable. The blood supply currently stands at a 1-2-day level, which is well below the ideal level of 5-7-days.
NYBC is partnering with local breweries for their “Pint for a Pint” campaign, which runs from August 1st – September 10th at all donor centers and community blood drives. As a part of this campaign, all presenting blood donors will receive a voucher to redeem a free pint of beer, cider, wine, or soft drink at their local participating brewery or restaurant. Since March 2020, the number of first-time donors has dropped dramatically and creative campaigns like “Pint for Pint” aim to raise awareness as well as amplify the need for new blood donors.
To make an appointment at a blood drive near you, donors can call 1-800-933-2566 or visit nybc.org/pint. Can’t donate blood? You can still support NYBC’s mission by texting ‘NYBC’ to ‘20222’ to give $25.
Thank you for your help!

Good Morning My Brothers and Sisters of Local 12:
On Saturday, June 18, 2022 Union Elections were held and the Elected Officials are listed below:
Business Manager-Financial Secretary Treasurer: John Jovic
Business Agent: Chris Cook
Business Agent: Nick Grgas
Business Agent: Stephen McCann
Vice President: Octavio Soares
Executive Board: Stanko Jordan
Executive Board: Daniel Makowski
Executive Board: Alicia Fonseca
Executive Board: Joseph Taddeo
Executive Board: Steven Langone
I would like to congratulate everyone who was elected, everyone who ran for office and everyone who voted. To everyone who participated in this election – THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION! A special thanks to all those who ran for office – congratulations to all of you, it takes courage to put yourself out there in front of everyone – thank you Edward Bartulovich, John Bohlmann, Miljenko Zanki, Filip Capalija, James Cicchetti, Philmore Bronw, William Orr, Fernando Londono and Stephen Villani.
I hope that now that the election is over that we can all work together and remember that as Members Of Local 12 WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS – THE FIGHT IS NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER – THE FIGHT IS FOR EACH OTHER. I hope now we can band together and support each other. I hope we can be unified in our fight to put ALL LOCAL 12 MEMBERS TO WORK AND TO DEDICATE OURSELVES TO DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR LOCAL 12 ALL OF THE TIME.
Today is Juneteenth 2022. It is a Federal Holiday but we are not off because our holidays are decided by our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). At this time it is not a holiday in our current CBA.
What is Juneteenth: After the Union Army captured New Orleans in 1862, slave owners in Confederate states migrated to Texas with more than 150,000 enslaved Black persons. For 3 years, even after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved Black Americans in Texas remained in brutal bondage, immorally and illegally deprived of their freedom and basic dignity. On June 19, 1865 — over 2 years after President Lincoln declared all enslaved persons free — Major General Gordon Granger and Union Army troops marched to Galveston, Texas, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation and freed the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas. Those who were freed from bondage celebrated their long-overdue emancipation on June 19. Today, our Nation commemorates Juneteenth: a chance to celebrate human freedom and reflect on the grievous and ongoing legacy of slavery.
If you are having any issues, please let me know and I will do everything I can to help you. If you know of anyone who is not receiving my emails please tell them to email me at al@insulatorslocal12.com and say who they are and that they are not receiving my emails.
If you are not working please notify the Local 12 Union Office by calling 718-784-3456. If you are out of work, hang in there and please don’t get discouraged. Though it is slow right now and it is very difficult to be out of work eventually it will get better. If you are working for a company that is looking for Local 12 Insulators call the Local 12 Union Office and let them know. If you have not reported the jobsite that you are currently working at please do so by calling the Local 12 Union Office.
Have a great week my Brothers and Sisters and Stay Safe.
Remember together we can and will accomplish anything!!!!!!!! LOCAL 12 UNITED WE STAND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AGAINST UNIONS:
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?
