The resolution to wear hats and do rags during the meeting failed 38-1. I had a Carman Miranda hat all picked out.

The Flier would like to welcome the throngs of apprentices that have been obligated at the meetings. If by chance you are an Apprentice and happened to miss being obligated, please call Jason and let him know. We will get you in.
It is important to know that if you are injured on the job that you must obtain a state workers compensation number. This will protect you in the event of complications due to your injuries. -If your injury will only keep you off for less than a week then you will receive no compensation due to the "waiting week" that the states require. "Company comp" has left some members, and their bank accounts, a little short.
If you are injured, on the job or off, it is important that you list your current or most recent employer on the insurance forms. Local 44 is NOT your employer. This will enable your benefits to get to you much faster!
The flier would like to send out a big thank you to those members who helped to construct the sign in front of the new building. The sign is supposed to replicate parts of the Suspension bridge accompanied by a sign "representing" the passage of time in Cincinnati's Skyline construction. Thanks to, Nicole Campbell, Robert Bales, Markus West, Dan Smallwood, Dave Villani, Mike Phillips, Mike Ryan, Ray Bowman, George Reeves, Amanda Abner, Darryl Clarke, Jason Mullins and others.
Journeyman Upgrade:
Safety and Training schedules are being sent out for January to May 2010. You will find a short list of classes available. We tried to incorporate new classes into the program but just couldn't get enough interest.
Beginning January 2010 the Training classes offered will be those that the International provides a Certification card for. These will be put on one at a time in order for all of the membership to be covered.
The weld shop continues to be open most every day for practice and Wednesdays only for testing. Call Jason and let him know if you are interested in testing.

Apprentice News:
The Apprentice Coordinator and the Apprentice Committee would like to thank the current Apprentice Class. The first semester of school has ended and despite the lack of work the fine people we have in the program remain dedicated to this industry. We have not lost but a small handful from the program. This really goes to show how much character many of them posses.
If you get the opportunity let one know that it will get better and you too appreciate their fortitude.

Beginning in January the Apprentices of Local 44 will be doing 6 hours each of community service. We want to create positive community exposure for all Ironworkers in the area. We want to be at public and charitable events in the Tri-State. Festivals, Parades, Charitable Walks and Anywhere we can be seen and maybe help someone in the process. Let the folks in the neighborhoods know that we are local skilled workers working for locally owned businesses.
If you know of a public event that may need some assistance or a place that they should be seen at call Jason Mullins 859-586-2100 ext. 13 and he will put you in touch with the group of Apprentices who take care of the leg work.

If you have any photos (new and old) of Ironworkers (either hard at it or catching a snooze up against a bolt keg) or any newspaper clippings we would love for you to bring them into the hall. We will copy them into the computer and store them for historical records, make a copy and hang them in the new Hall and Post them on our website. Bring them when you come by, Jason will copy them right away and send them home with you that day.
