POW/MIA Recognition Day
You Are Not Forgotten – that's the central phrase behind the POW/MIA remembrance movement which honors America's prisoners of war, those who are still missing in action and their families.
Many of our service members suffered as prisoners of war during several decades of varying conflicts. While some of them made it home, tens of thousands more never did.
POW/MIA Recognition Day is commemorated on the third Friday of every September, a date that's not associated with any particular war. In 1979, Congress and the president passed resolutions making it official after the families of the more than 2,500 Vietnam War POW/MIAs pushed for full accountability.
During the first POW/MIA Recognition Day commemoration, a ceremony was held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., while the 1st Tactical Squadron from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia flew the missing man formation. Most ceremonies since then have been held at the Pentagon, and many smaller observances have cropped up across the nation and around the world on military installations.
The point of POW/MIA Recognition Day is to ensure that American remembers to stand behind those who serve and to make sure we do everything we can to account for those who have never returned.

Dear Local 12 Member:
Early Withdrawal Vacation Fund Checks will be printed and mailed today, Friday, September 18, 2020. You must have submitted an Early Withdrawal Vacation Fund Form on Wednesday in order to have a check printed and mailed this Friday. I have attached a form to this email.
I hope all of you are still practicing social distancing as best as you can. COVID-19 is still here and it is a threat to all of us. Do your best to wash your hands as much as you can, keep at least six feet apart from people whenever possible and ALWAYS WEAR A MASK. The best way to defeat COVID – 19 is to stop the spread of COVID – 19. Wear a mask if not for yourself for those around you. The Benefit Funds Office of Local 12 and the Local 12 Union Office are taking the necessary social distancing precautions which means only employees are allowed in the building we are currently located at in College Point, NY.
I know that 2020 has been a difficult year for everybody but we still have 106 days left to make it better. Treat each day as a gift and make the most of every day. Some days naturally will be better than others but keep trying no matter what happens. Remember your happiness, your success, your life is up to you. It takes the same amount of energy to be upset as it does to be happy. Decide for yourself that you are going to be happy. We all deserve to be happy. Give each other a break and don’t forget to give yourself a break when needed. When you deal with other people remember that they may be going through a very difficult time that you are not aware of. Everyone has their struggles in life and if we learn to give each other a helping hand once in a while we will all be better off. I hope you and your family are doing well. Don’t ever stop trying if life is good or if you are going through a tough time. You never know how close you are to succeeding!

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Local 12:
Retired Local 12 Financial Secretary Treasurer Sal Gargiulo passed away on Thursday, September 10, 2020. Sal was battling cancer. He was 76 years old.
Sal was a proud Member of Local 12 since 1962. He was very passionate about being a Member of Local 12. He was a man who spoke his mind and stood up for what he believed in. Sal was an excellent Local 12 Mechanic. Over his time as an active Local 12 Member Sal was an Apprentice, Mechanic, Shop Steward and Foreman. Sal was also the Recording Secretary for Local 12. He took the job very seriously and was outstanding at it. In December of 1992 Sal was appointed to Financial Secretary Treasurer by then President Dennis Ippolito. The position became vacant when Financial Secretary Treasurer John Bokun passed away after serving for 12 years from 1980 through 1992. Sal was officially elected in January of 1993 and he held the position until he retired in December of 2003. Sal and the love of his life Dianne Taylor worked in the Local 12 Union Office together from 1997 through 2003. They both dedicated themselves to doing everything possible to helping all Local 12 Members and their families. Dianne passed away in 2010.
When Sal was not doing everything he could for Local 12 he was a father, friend, husband and grandfather. He loved his dog and he enjoyed playing golf. Sal was also known to gamble from time to time. He liked playing cards and craps. He enjoyed going to Las Vegas.
Sal was a member of the National Guard in the 1960’s. He is survived by his 2 children, two stepchildren and grandchildren.
A cremation will take place at Cedar Hill Crematory in Middle Hope, New York. A Memorial Visitation will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
On behalf of all the Members of Local 12 and their Families thank you Sal for everything. Now it is time for you to enjoy an eternity of happiness with Dianne.
Death is the last chapter in time but the first chapter in eternity.
May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Sal for All Eternity.
Please keep Sal and the entire Gargiulo Family in your thoughts and prayers.
In Deepest Sympathy and Compassion;

Below is the last sunset picture of the World Trade Center on Sept 10, 2001.
“May the lives remembered, the deeds recognized, and the spirit reawakened be eternal beacons, which reaffirm respect for life, strengthen our resolve to preserve freedom, and inspire an end to hatred, ignorance, and intolerance.”-Mission Statement of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the WTC.
“If we learn nothing from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” - Sandy Dahl, wife of pilot Jason Dahl of Flight 93
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2020
Friday, September 11, 2020 was the 19th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in the history of the USA and the world. The attack on the World Trade Center changed the lives of everybody. Our world has not been the same.
Though as tragic and painful as that day was and always will be we as a country stood together to honor those lost on that tragic day. We banded together not only for those lost at the Towers but for those lost in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. We watched as brave Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT's and Military Units sprang into action to try to save lives and defend all of us at the same time. As most of us looked for safety they went right into danger for all of us. We went to war and we still are at war fighting terrorism not only around the world but in the United States as well.
We are going through a very difficult time in 2020 but if we learned anything from September 11, 2001 it is that we can get through anything as long as we stay together.
Today I always remember that all the people we lost on September 11, 2001 did not expect to lose their lives that day. Their lives were tragically taken away from them. We still continue to lose brave men and women from illnesses caused by the debris of the aftermath of the Twin Towers collapse as well as the brave men and women who courageously give their lives for the fight against terrorism on a daily basis.
I never lose sight on the fact that time was take away from all of the victims of September 11, 2001. Time is the most precious asset we have in our lives. Our lives are made up of time and it is up to us on how we use the time we have. I choose to honor all the victims of September 11, 2001 by remembering them and by using the time I have been given in the best possible way. We should all remember the victims of September 11, 2001 every single day and honor them by living our lives to the fullest. We should never take one second of our lives for granted. We should honor them by respecting each other, helping each other, supporting each other and standing by each other in good times and bad.
ALWAYS REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
MOURN FOR THOSE WE LOST BUT LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST IN THEIR MEMORY
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Biden Pledges to Support Key Insulator Issues, Union Supports BidenPosted by on Wed, Aug 19, 2020 @ 16:08 PM
Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Joe Biden promised to support key issues important to the Insulators Union.
In an Aug. 15 letter to HFIAW International General President James P. McCourt, Biden discussed his plans for the country, if elected president.
“…I have committed to launching a national effort to create and support the good, union jobs we need to build a modern, sustainable infrastructure now and deliver an equitable clean energy future. Through this effort, I will support the men and women of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, who have played a crucial role in providing good-paying union jobs to meet industry needs for over a century,” Biden wrote.
As part of his plan, he believes about 1 million jobs will be created by upgrading 4 million commercial buildings and weatherizing 2 million homes in four years. This would be accomplished by reforming and extending energy efficiency tax incentives.
“…I will work to ensure those incentives support the critical mechanical insulation work you do to reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings. I will also repair the building code process with the goal of establishing building performance standards for existing buildings nationwide – standards that spur energy efficiency, investment in upgrades like insulation, and good-paying jobs for insulators,” he said.
Biden also pledged to defend the right to organize unions and collectively bargain. He vowed to include aspects of the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, card check, a broad definition of “employee” and to end the misclassification of workers as independent contractors within his policies.
In addition to worker rights, Biden also addressed worker safety in his letter.
“As President, I will again empower scientists to decide the future of asbestos in the United States,” he wrote.
“No one should get sick just because they went to work, but too many Insulators have gotten sick or died from diseases linked to asbestos exposure,” he added.
Despite thousands of Americans dying each year from asbestos and asbestos-related diseases, the U.S. has not fully banned asbestos.
While he did not specifically mention the Ban Asbestos Now legislation, the HFIAW hopes Biden, if elected, would support this ban, along with supporting the Mesothelioma Patient Registry.
As Vice President, he supported the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, which directed the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a risk evaluation of chemicals with an expedited review of asbestos and gave the EPA the authority to ban asbestos. Unfortunately, during the review process, the Trump administration failed to provide a thorough investigation of asbestos.
By enacting a law to fully ban asbestos and to support a Mesothelioma Patient Registry, Biden could save the lives of thousands of Insulators.
The former Vice President concluded his letter by asking for support from HFIAW membership.
In response to Biden, during the Aug. 19 General Executive Board Meeting, the board voted to support and endorse Biden's candidacy for President.
General President McCourt wrote back to Biden, telling him the union will support him.
"In addition to your strong support for fundamental labor standards, and your leadership and vision for an American economy that recognizes the contributions of union construction labor, the Insulators are especially pleased of your support for mechanical insulation tax incentives, building code reforms and energy efficiency investments that will promote our work," said McCourt.
"Thank you, Vice President Biden, for your dedicated public service to our nation. As Vice President, you worked to clean up the mess in 2009 from the George W. Bush Administration, and the Obama-Biden economic recovery was the longest in U.S. history. Today, America needs you to clean up the mess of the current Administration, and we are looking forward to working with you to help our nation build back better," McCourt added.

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
