FROM THE DESK OF JEFF STARK
Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer
The Building Union Member Power (BUMP) program that has rolled out across District Council 82 has opened the eyes of so many who have attended the class. I have had so many thank us for making it happen as members leave at the conclusion of the class. Most say the same thing: “I learned a lot about our union and where we came from today.” Hearing members say these things is what the class is all about.
Over my 30 years as a member of the IUPAT, I would often go online and see pictures of rooms packed with members getting ready to participate in their Local union meetings. I remember sitting in union meetings in 1996 thinking to myself, “How do people know what questions to ask?” The answer to that question came as I regularly attended meetings and events that the union put on.
I quickly learned that the power of our union is its members. Collective bargaining, political influence, and the ability to take on and complete the biggest construction projects in our industry are a result of the number of members we have. Having the numbers is only half of the power; the other half is exercising that power and being heard by all who can advance our wants and needs for better wages, benefits, and working conditions.
Please attend a BUMP class or attend a second one if you would like. The classes are held weekly at the District Council, and the elected staff’s only concern is that you have as much information as we can provide you, including the history of our union, our power collectively, and how we preserve what has been built and maintained by ALL of the members who have passed through the membership or are currently members.
I promise that anyone you talk to who has been through the class will confirm that it is painless and informative. Thank you to everyone who has attended, to all who have already signed up for an upcoming class, and to all who will attend this year.
The International, District Council, and your Local only have the power that the members provide in numbers. Please reach out to me or any member of the staff with any questions you might have on any subject. I hope to see you soon at a BUMP class or event and your Local union meeting

Work:
Winter brought a slowdown in calls from contractors, but as spring approaches, work is starting to pick up. We’re seeing increased demand for painters, along with some opportunities for drywall finishers.
If you’re currently laid off, please contact your Business Rep and get on the Out-of-Work List so we can help place you back on a job.
Looking ahead, signatory contractors expect a strong season, including travel work opportunities with overtime for those willing to get on the road.

Organizing Director
Rebuilding our presence in the residential market has been a key focus over the past two years.
While residential work once made up a large share of our hours, that market declined as commercial work expanded. Today, we are actively working to regain that market share.
- Two new residential contractors signed in 2025
- Goal to double that number in 2026
- Ongoing outreach to both new and existing contractors
There is strong demand for reliable, high-quality Union labor in residential construction.
This effort also creates opportunities for:
- Members with residential experience
- Members interested in becoming signatory contractors
If you’re interested, please reach out to your representative or an organizer.

Steward training is coming, and we need you
Industrial Painters at the Xcel Energy job site
DC 82 is gearing up for an important round of steward training, and we need to get more active stewards out in the construction industry. Strong jobsite representation starts with prepared, engaged stewards, and right now, we’re looking to grow those ranks.
As part of this push, we’re rolling out BUMP: Building Union Member Power. BUMP is a program designed to re-energize our membership and put more of us in a position to advocate for one another on the job. It’s about reclaiming our collective voice and making sure every member has someone in their corner.
Here’s what you need to do right now:
Contact your union rep and get yourself scheduled for the two-hour BUMP class. These sessions are coming up soon, spots will fill, and this is too important to put off. Whether you’re a seasoned member or newer to the trade, this class is for you.
And don’t forget — read your mail. The union is sending out important information about training dates, schedules, and what’s coming next. Keep an eye on your mailbox so you don’t miss anything.

Business Representative for Local 106
Greetings to all my fellow brothers, sisters, and siblings of IUPAT DC 82!
Spring is here, and we are excited to have it. Winter had a long grip on the northland and did not want to let spring come in and thaw us out. Work was a bit on the slower side through the cold months. We stayed steady, but members did see some time off. The work outlook for the warmer months to come is looking promising. There are quite a few larger projects on the horizon, and we need to get to them. If all the work that is expected starts, we will need quite a few more members out in the field.
A few projects that we are looking at are:
- Hermantown Data Center
- Duluth Airport traffic control tower
- Grand Portage Land Port of Entry
- Saint Louis County maintenance building
The list goes on for projects, but these are some of the larger ones that will open our doors to new members.
The data center project in Hermantown is slated for 8-10 years of construction. There is possibly going to be upwards of 75 of our IUPAT members from Local 106 across all our crafts on site. This project has been a hot topic for anti-construction. They do not want growth and without growth we do not have the jobs that we need. So, when we decide not to support economic growth we are cutting our own members’ opportunities.
Construct Tomorrow is an event that we put on at the DECC, and it is targeted at the local highschoolers from the Arrowhead region. The event brings in around 1500 students, and the night event, which is designed for direct hiring, brings in another 100 or so. I want to thank the FTIUM for bringing up all their simulators. This really brings the crowd to our booths and gives us a good chance to expose and talk to the youth about our programs.
Advantage Emblem is one of our newest Local 106 contractors in the sign industry, they employ 13 members that do banners, t-shirts, yard signs, and everything in between. We are excited to bring them into our ranks and want to recognize them as our newest contractor.
A few things I want to speak on quickly is how today as a society we see the “successes” of the world are shutting down a project or stopping forward progress for economic growth. We need to change that mindset to grow as a community and not being happy to stop a project but being happy that we worked together as community partners to be successful. Economic growth is the backbone for our industry and opportunities to work.
Fraternally,
Jack Carlson

Business Representative for Local 880
March was a month of both reflection and progress for our community. We honor the passing of Jeremiah Teasley, Sr. on March 8 and Zachary Petzel on December 24. Both were devoted family men, hardworking individuals who took great pride in caring for their children. Their impact will not be forgotten.
We also ask everyone to keep John “Big John” Wiley in their thoughts and prayers as he battles stage 4 cancer.
On March 24, we successfully hosted a floor marking class with 23 participants, a strong turnout that reflects continued interest in skill development.
While the beginning of the year was filled with busy trade shows, March provided an opportunity to slow down slightly and refocus on training initiatives.
April is shaping up to be extremely active, with major projects involving Paramount and Heritage. We anticipate employing over 100 individuals throughout the month. This growth is supported by a stronger emphasis on training, ensuring we provide highly skilled, quality workers to incoming contractors. Much of this expansion continues to be driven by word of mouth, reinforcing the strength of our network.
Across the industry, contract negotiations for the sign sector are approaching. Master Signs currently operates under one agreement with five companies, while others, such as Spectrum, Albrecht, and Leroy Signs, contribute to a broader network of eight companies within the industry.
Business demand remains high. Split Rock Studios is expanding and actively hiring in Brooklyn Park. Process Display continues to move forward at a rapid pace, with both mandatory and voluntary overtime in effect as they seek quality workers. Additionally, print shops are expected to ramp up hiring significantly in the near future.
Overall, we are seeing strong internal growth and alignment as a unit. With increased training, expanding opportunities, and rising industry demand, the months ahead look promising.

Spring Update: Farewell, Welcome, and Our Path Forward
This spring, we bid farewell to two dedicated organizers, Jon Pelach and Dave Kroger. We sincerely thank them for their hard work, leadership, and invaluable contributions to DC 82. Their efforts have significantly strengthened our Union and supported our members’ interests.
While work remains strong for painters, tapers experienced some slowdown this past winter. Currently, painting and taping projects are underway in North and South Dakota, particularly in data centers. If you’re interested in working in these regions, please contact your representative for more information.
Recent storms have impacted progress on the Mayo Clinic projects, with heavy snow hindering work at excavation sites scheduled to develop into buildings over the next two to five years.
Looking ahead, our 4-year contract will expire on April 30 at 12:00 AM. We have entered negotiations this March and April to secure our future. We recognize that we have some ground to make up, as we’ve fallen behind other trades.
Remember: One Union – One Family – One Fight. By sticking together, we can ensure our strength. If our members want a decent raise, we may need to stand united—even if that means sitting out work for a couple of weeks. United we demand; divided we beg.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our contractors and your families.
TONY MCGARVEY
Director of Government Affairs
Politics ultimately comes down to one simple reality: the majority has the advantage.
Elections determine who represents working people—and whether our priorities are heard. But elected officials can’t represent us if they don’t understand our lives.
Most policymakers don’t share the day-to-day realities of working people. That’s why we must communicate our needs clearly and consistently.
What You Can Do
- Attend town halls
- Call, email, or write your representatives
- Stay engaged and informed
The most effective way to make an impact is through collective action.
Our union’s priorities are clear: Paychecks. Pensions. Portable Benefits. Getting home safe.
Who are these policymakers?
While they are just regular people, most of these policymakers don’t really know what our lives are like. They’re usually not boots-on-the-ground working people. Many of them are lawyers, bankers, CEOs, and insurance agent types. It’s our responsibility to reach across the table and share our perspectives so they understand who their constituents are. WE are the ones electing them after all, and we must hold them accountable.
Your union works to elect people who get us, but it’s up to us to communicate with them or they simply won’t know what we need, or how to represent us because their lives aren’t like ours.
Politics is a team sport.
What we need to understand is that the biggest team has the advantage – that’s us. The workers. We need to use our advantage to get our voices heard.
Our lawmakers get to appoint committee chairs who run the committee meetings and decide what bills will be heard. They have majorities on each committee who will mostly vote together and determine what will make it to the floor for a debate and vote by the body of the whole. They find themselves in this position because their team members got the majority of the votes in the last election.
Are you seeing the pattern here?
The goal in politics is to be in “the majority.”
The reason that politics can be so messy, so divisive, and so hard to follow is because the representatives of almost 350 million people, each with so many valid concerns, are trying to be heard.
We have the best chance of being accurately represented if we can find people who have similar concerns, and as a group, make those known to elected officials, like in a Union.
But there are a lot of other groups that we belong to as well. You might belong to a minority group, a rural group, a metro group, a veteran’s group, an age group, a religious group, a motorcycle group, hell, maybe even a religious motorcycle group?
Membership in a group is not a guarantee that our voice or concerns will be heard, but it’s our best chance of making that happen. Join a CORE Committee to take the first step.
Additionally, no group is going to cover every single one of our individual concerns or get it right if they do. The best that any group can do is set an agenda, a list of priority concerns. The most commonly held concerns of the most of its members. Usually, if most of the group’s priorities match ours, we’ll be ok.
Is the present moment a reflection of our values?
In the present moment, our lives are made harder by many of our current elected officials’ decisions. If our concerns are not being prioritized, it generally comes down to a few real possibilities:
- One is we have failed to convince elected officials that what we said was important is as important as we said it was. So, it hasn’t become a priority for them.
- Another possibility is that they essentially told us what we wanted to hear. We’ve been misled, just to get our vote. They have an agenda that does not include our concerns.
- Another very real possibility is that those who are elected are being convinced by a group with more resources and the ability to keep their issue in front of the elected officials, that our issue is not as important as theirs.
Unless we remind them what our issues are at every opportunity, we often get forgotten. At every moment in time, the results of the last election are what determine which of a billion different concerns are currently being prioritized.
What can a working person do?
If a lawmaker’s agenda doesn’t represent us and our needs, we can always vote differently next time, but what do we do right now!?
It is completely within our rights to contact our representatives and in fact, that is exactly how our priorities got bumped. Someone or some group with more money, more time, more ability to get in front of the elected officials got their attention and they forgot about us.
Find and contact your representative.
We can contact them in a number of ways. We can attend their town halls and talk to them in-person. We can call, text or email them. Hell, in the old days, people actually wrote them letters. And believe it or not, they really do want to hear from us. They may not always listen to us, but they do want to hear from us. It’s a main part of their job.
The single most effective thing a working person can do is join a Union with a political program, like the IUPAT. Our union has only one set of priorities, namely more work, job site safety, and the right to engage in collective action to further the economic interests of our members. Of course, Unions are made up of individual people, and they all have their individual opinions about every issue you can imagine, but the bottom line is: Paychecks, pensions, portable benefits, and getting home in one piece.
All that our Union asks of us is that we stick together and vote for those who understand those values and will accurately represent us when decisions are being made.
Federal Politics
Currently, at the federal level, the Republicans are in the majority and therefore have the advantage. Nowadays, Republican lawmakers don’t typically share our Union values. But if you voted for Republicans, we ask that you contact them. Then contact them again, and again, and again. Tell them you’re a Union member, and that you voted for them, and you need them to represent you. Help them understand our values. You can be a part of winning better pay, benefits, more work hours, and higher safety standards for all workers.
If you voted for them, they will at least pretend to listen. If they hear it enough, they might even make decisions that favor working people.
One way we build relationships with politicians is through our endorsement process. This process gives us the opportunity to get to know candidates and impress upon them the importance of our values, and how vigilantly we work to protect them. This more often than not leads to accurate and strong representation in the rooms where the decisions are being made. So far this year the DC 82 Delegate Body has voted to endorse the following candidates:
- Sen Amy Klobuchar – Governor of MN
- Rep Angie Craig – U.S. Senate MN
- SoS, Steve Simon. – Secretary of State (MN)
- District 2 Commissioner Stan Karwoski
- District 5 Commissioner and Council President Rebecca Noecker
House of Representatives
- Rep McCollum – MN CD04
- Rep Kaela Berg – MN CD02
- Rep. Zack Stephenson – MN HD35A
- Ryan Winkler – MN HD43B
- Rep. Fue Lee – MN HD59A
Senate
- Sen. John “Man of Steel” Hoffman – MN SD34 (He stopped nine bullets!)
- Paul Cummings – MN SD53
- CM Robyn Gulley – MN SD65
- CM Kristy Janigo – MN SD37
- SBM Sam Rosemark – MN SD44
If you’re still awake after all that, thank you for hanging in there.
Finally, and again, this is an election year, and it will only be a couple of months until we will be looking for volunteers to help in our efforts to Build, Maintain and Continue our relationships with elected officials in our region, by door knocking, phone banking and being present at rallies, etc. Volunteer hours count for Union Service Credits needed by apprentices.
If you care more than just a little, or EVER have any questions about the positions we take or the candidates we support, please contact me at tmcgarvey@iupat82.org.

DC 82 Endorses Amy Klobuchar for Minnesota Governor
Senator Amy Klobuchar fights for the people who do the work, not the corporations. Our members need livable wages, secure benefits, safe jobs, and time to spend with their families. Too often, these basic needs are trampled by corporate interests cutting corners to boost their profits. Senator Klobuchar has consistently stood up for Minnesota workers, protecting pay, benefits, and livelihoods while creating real, sustainable career opportunities for the next generation right here in our state.
Under Senator Klobuchar’s leadership:
- Expanded apprenticeship and training programs, helping young people, women, and people of color enter high-paying trades jobs.
- Supports unions in their advocacy for Project Labor Agreements on large construction projects to protect workers and ensure fair hiring.
- Supported legislation that strengthens workforce development programs, wages, health care, and retirement security for union members and their families.
Supports pro-union legislation that expands collective bargaining rights and worker protections.

CORE Director Report
Community Organizing for Real Economics (CORE)
The Community Organizing for Real Economics (CORE) Committee remains a vital force within our union, driving organizing, political action, and community outreach across District Council 82. Our work is rooted in the foundation of the IUPAT, which calls on us not only to improve wages and working conditions, but to uplift communities, strengthen democracy, and advance the lives of working families.
Through CORE, we continue to turn those principles into action. As many of you know, the CORE program has long been at the heart of our union’s structure. I’m proud to report that here at District Council 82, we are continuing to build on that legacy through the dedicated efforts of our CORE committees, including our VOCs and VACs, along with the commitment of our entire DC82 staff.
This quarter, one of the most impactful developments has been the rollout of the Building Union Member Power (BUMP) campaign. We are already seeing how important, and overdue, this effort is. BUMP helps us reconnect with our membership, rebuild engagement, and strengthen solidarity in ways that remind us of what our union is truly capable of.
Our mission—One Union, One Family, One Fight, is not just a slogan. It is a call to action. And I want to thank every member of the DC 82 family who has stepped up and answered that call. Just FYI, we are just getting started. If you didn’t know, now you do.
One of my favorite cartoons used to say, “Knowing is half the battle.” The other half is action. It’s us fighting like hell to grow, protect, and maintain the values and way of life that so many before us sacrificed to build. The reality is not any one of us can do this alone. Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes every one of us to build and sustain a strong labor movement.
That means:
- Building together as One Union
- Supporting, engaging, and empowering one another as One Family
- Staying focused, disciplined, and united in purpose as One Fight
Women in Construction (WIC) Luncheon:
This spirit of unity was on full display at the District Council 82 Women’s Committee first Women in Construction (WIC) Luncheon. I was honored to attend and to speak at such a powerful and inspiring event. The energy in that room reflected exactly what CORE stands for—uplifting voices, building leadership, and strengthening our union from within.
Below are my remarks from that event:
“This week, we celebrate Women in Construction—but today, I want to speak from the heart.
“At District Council 82, when we say we value our sisters, that isn’t a slogan. It’s a commitment. It’s respect. It’s solidarity.
“We know construction has not always made space for women. It hasn’t always been welcoming, and it definitely hasn’t always been fair. But our sisters continued to show up anyway. YOU showed up early, YOU stayed late, YOU carried tools, ran work, led crews, and proved every single day that skill, strength, and leadership have nothing to do with gender. YOU didn’t just ask for a seat at the table. You built the table. Our sisters are painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, apprentices, journey workers, forepersons, leaders. They are mentors. They are mothers. They are fighters. And they are union strong.
“But let me be very clear: This week isn’t about token recognition.
“It’s about recognizing the courage it takes to walk onto a jobsite where you might be the only woman. It’s about the resilience required to push past doubt, stereotypes, and barriers. It’s about honoring the excellence you bring to OUR trades and to OUR union.
“When women rise in this industry, our entire union rises with them. Our culture gets stronger, Our standards get higher, Our solidarity gets deeper. To every sister in District Council 82! We see you. We respect you. We stand with you. And we are committed to building a union where opportunity, safety, and leadership are real for everyone. This isn’t just about this week. It’s about the future we’re building together, on every job site, in every apprenticeship class, and in every local meeting.
“Sisters: Thank you for your skill, Thank you for your strength, Thank you for your leadership,
“We are proud to grow, build, and walk alongside every one of you, WE are family! WE are union strong!!!
“In love and solidarity—I love you all!”
As we move forward, our focus remains clear: organize, engage, and empower. Whether it’s through jobsite conversations, community partnerships, political action, or member education, CORE will continue to lead the charge in strengthening our union and expanding our impact.
Together, we will continue to grow. Together, we will continue to fight. And together, we will continue to win.
In Solidarity,
Arthur Hill

FTIUM Care Team
In our first year, the FTIUM Care Team received hundreds of visits. We are proud to offer our eligible members free and confidential mental health services and much more.
None of us have to go it alone.
We’re so pleased that so many members and staff have used the Care Team since its launch.
Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues are still the most common topics on Care Team calls, but the program offers many other services, and we want to make sure you know about them.
