President’s Corner Our Executive Director, Greg
Quinn was watching an action movie
on TV over a recent weekend which
happened to feature the actor Chuck
Norris. Greg mentioned that his mov-
ies always have a consistent theme of
good triumphing over evil. He always
plays the “good guy”, and like the
westerns many of us grew up with, are
simple but refreshing. Not knowing a
great deal about him Greg did a little
research about his life on the internet
and learned that his success was really
an example of the American dream.
Growing up in Oklahoma of little
means, his mother and her three sons
moved to California when Chuck was
a teenager and he ended up enlisting in
the Air Force. He was assigned to an
Air Force base in Korea where in his
off duty time he began training in the
martial arts which changed his life
forever. Upon returning to America he
had the discipline and work ethic to
become the best he could over several
years of training and competition (with
some defeats), which led him to be-
coming the professional middleweight
Karate champion and later a successful
movie career. What really caught
Greg’s attention was the personal code
of honor that he lives by and that he
taught to all of his students who
learned the martial art Chun Kuk Do,
which he created. The rules to live by
are:
I will develop myself to the maxi-
mum of my potential in all ways
I will forget the mistakes of the
past and press on to greater
achievements
I will continually work at develop-
ing love, happiness and loyalty in
my family
I will look for the good in all people
and make them feel worthwhile
If I have nothing good to say about a
person, I will say nothing
I will always be as enthusiastic about
the success of others as I am about
my own
I will maintain an attitude of open-
mindedness
I will maintain respect for those in
authority and demonstrate this re-
spect at all times.
I will always remain loyal to God,
my country, family and my friends
I will remain highly goal-oriented
throughout my life because that
positive attitude helps my family,
my country and myself.
In today’s society, it seems as if there
is a growing lack of these characteristics.
Sadly, society teaches that you must “get
all you can”, “look out for yourself first”,
“the only way you can be successful is at
the expense of others”. We as employers
are having to become the mentors and
examples of the up-coming generation to
teach them the moral principles that will
help them to be successful in life.
During these challenging and difficult
times, we can all look at these character-
istics and ask ourselves if we possess
some of the attributes that has helped
Mr. Norris to be successful and may help
us to teach others as well. As you know
by now, we have a new one year contract
(Master Labor Agreement) with a total
package increase of 87 cents apportioned
as follows: Effective August 1, 2009:
increase of 47 cents Pension Fund: 27
cents: Apprenticeship 20 cents
Effective January 1, 2010: increase of 40
cents going to Health & Welfare. In my
last article, I laid out the reasons for the
increases and believe they are worth re-peating. It had been a particularly diffi-
Terry Osburn
cult negotiations due to a number of fac-
tors, including external, which have de-
manded increases in some areas that are
frankly painful in such a depressed econ-
omy. The need to add cents per hour to
the Health Plan are essential due to the
losses realized as a result of market de-
clines and the tremendous rise in premi-
ums by all health providers. The need to
add cents per hour to the Apprenticeship
School are two-fold: One, the school is
anticipating operating under a substantial
deficit due to declining revenues as a
result of declining hours and reduced
outside funding from LAUSD etc. Sec-
ond, the school is the largest training
facility nationally under IUPAT and it is
critical that the school is adequately
funded to train the type of employee who
can be a credit to the employer he/she
works for. Finally, the Pension Plan
needs an increase in cents per hour as
mandated by law, since the plan was hit
particularly hard by the market decline.
We are also required to increase the
wages for apprentices as mandated by
the Department of Apprenticeship Stan-
dards.. Our next Chapter Membership
Meeting will be on Tuesday September
15 at the Beckham Grill in Pasadena
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and we are
pleased to have Bill Crawford as our
guest speaker who will bring us up to
date on the New Laws/Regulations. I
hope to see all of you there!

INFOLINE Congressional Alert! Ask your Senators and Representa-
tives to Oppose Small Business Em-
ployer Exemptions in the Proposed
Health Care Reform Legislation
As FCA and LAP&FCA contractors,
are you angry that you have to compete
against other contractors who do not pro-
vide health care coverage for their em-
ployees? We know you are, so FCA noti-
fied Congress on your behalf of our op-
position to exempting small businesses
from the health care legislation propos-
als. You need to contact your U.S. Sena-
tors and Representatives now (phone or e
mail is fine) as they are in their home
districts until September 4.
Tell them to “strongly support small
business employers who have been pro-
viding health care for their employees
for decades by including an employer
mandate with “pay or play” provisions
without any final health care legisla-
tion’” Also tell them that “A require-
ment for every employer to provide
health care would create the widest pos-
sible coverage at the least cost to the
government without disrupting the cov-
erage of workers who now receive their
health care benefits from their
employers.”
Contact Senator Boxer at (213) 894-
5000. You can submit an E mail mes-
sage to her by typing

tact us, Click on E mail and submit your

Your Legislators. Exempting small busi-
nesses employers as currently proposed
(payrolls under $500,000 or with fewer
than 20 employees which constitutes 80-
90% of all construction contractors)
would: (1) create a massive loophole in
any health reform package (2) maintain
the competitive advantage held by these
contractors who do not provide health
care (3) Impede the reductions in pre-
mium costs that could be realized from
more widespread coverage of individuals
and their families.

Monterey attending the July PDCC Mid-Year Meeting.
DHS to implement the no-match rule,
but the fate of the legislation is
uncertain.
Congress Considers Requiring
Businesses to 1099 All Vendors
All businesses, including subcontrac-
tors, could soon be required to annually
send a 1099 form to every firm from
which they made a purchase, if the U.S.
Senate Finance Committee has its way.
One proposal would require all busi-
nesses to issue 1099’s to all service pro-
viders, even corporations, to which they
pay more than $600 annually. To issue
the 1099s, subcontractors would have to
collect a Taxpayer Identification Num-
ber for each 1099 recipient. Under cur-
rent law, payments to corporations, and
annual payments of less than $600 to
individuals providing services, normally
do not require subcontractors to issue
1099s. The political pressure to close
the perceived “tax gap” between income
reported to the Internal Revenue Service
vs. total actual income is so strong that
the finance committee is considering an
even more aggressive proposal. Under
this further proposal the IRS would re-
quire businesses to issue 1099s to sup-
pliers, not just service providers, and to
eliminate the $600 threshold. If adopted,
this effectively would mean that sub-
contractors would have to track all pay-
ments made to other businesses all year
long, collect the TIN numbers of
those businesses, and issue 1099s.
“This would place an outrageous
burden on businesses, particularly
small businesses, said American
Subcontractors Association 2009-
2010 President Darlene East”.
Proposed Rule Would Allow Pro-
ject Labor Agreements on Projects
Over $25 Million
On July 14, 2009, the federal acqui-
sition councils issued a notice of pro-
posed rulemaking to allow federal
agencies to use project labor agree-
ments on mega-construction projects
valued at $25 million or more. Be-
fore an agency could require a PLA,
it would have to decide whether a
PLA would “advance the Federal
Government’s interest in achieving
economy and efficiency in Federal
procurement” and “be consistent
with the law”. The proposed standard
defines a PLA as “a pre-hire collec-
tive bargaining agreement with one
or more labor organizations that es-
tablishes the terms and conditions of
employment for a specific construc-
tion project and is an agreement de-
scribed in 29 U.S.C. 158(f).” The
proposal implements Executive Or-
der 13502, which President Obama
issued in February to replace an ear-
lier order that banned PLAs. Source: ASA today, July 9 and July 16, 2009

DHS Plans To Abandon No-
Match Rule in Favor of
E-Verify Secretary of Homeland Security
Janet Napolitano announced on July
8, 2009, that the agency plans to re-
scind its controversial 2007 “No-
Match” rule, which would have
changed the current system of I-9
documentation and imposed new
responsibilities on employers when
their efforts to verify employees’
eligibility to work in the United
States resulted in a no-match letter or
notice from the government. Napoli-
tano said that the Obama administra-
tion instead favors a broader imple-
mentation of the E-Verify program
that DHS operates in partnership
with the Social Security Administra-
tion. In a public statement, DHS ex-
plained that “E-Verify addresses data
inaccuracies that can result in No-
Match letters in a timelier manner
and provide a more robust tool for
identifying unauthorized individuals
and combating illegal employment.”
Some federal legislators, led by
Senator David Vitter (R-LA), are
supporting legislation (amendment
1375 to HR 2892) that would force
