March 5-11 is Women In Construction Week and we would like to highlight some of the great work being done by women in this space. From reducing stigma to creating a safe work environment both physically and emotionally, these two Ironworkers are forging a path for other women to follow. Erin Craw talks to Heather Kurtenbach and Vicki O'Leary about the changing landscape of the construction industry and how they plan to continue making it less intimidating for women to jump into this profession. While construction has predominantly been a man-dominated industry, times are changing. Women make up about 14% of the Construction Workforce but the numbers continue to grow. Heather Kurtenbach has been an Ironworker for 18 years, finishing her apprenticeship in 2009. She went on to become a foreman, GF, instructor, and now a Business Agent for her Local, Ironworkers Local 86 in Tukwila, WA.Vicki O'Leary joined Ironworkers International in January 2016. Since that time, she became Chair of the North American Building Trades Union (NABTU) Tradeswomen's Committee. She is a 30+ year member of Ironworkers Local #1 in Chicago. She completed her triple major Bachelor of Arts degree in Union Leadership & Administration, Labor Education & Labor Studies from the National Labor College (2008) and obtained her Master of Arts Degree from Gonzaga University in Organizational Leadership (2012). She has also graduated from the Harvard Trade Union Program (HTUP- 2018) along with Cornell's National Labor Leadership Initiative (NLLI- 2018). She passionately strives for equal opportunity for all ironworkers - one that is free from bullying, harassment, and intimidation.

CEED stands for Cannabis Engineers Extractors & Distributors.

Cannabis Engineers Extractors & Distributors (CEED) Local 420, IUJAT recently announced that workers at Ascend Montclair Dispensary, referred to as “budtenders,” have achieved a first-time event, the ratification of a three-year labor agreement. This is the first time in history that workers at Ascend will be protected by a union contract. The bargaining unit covers approximately 22 employees who work at the company's medical cannabis dispensary unit in Essex County, New Jersey. The Ascend Montclair Dispensary contract was ratified by the members of Local 420 after months of negotiations. CEED Local 420, International Union of Journeymen of Allied Trades (IUJAT), was established solely to represent cannabis workers in New Jersey. IUJAT is the among the oldest labor unions in the United States dating back to 1874, nearly a decade before the formation of the American Federation of Labor. The contract will be in effect for three years and includes critical wage and benefits enhancements, including: Three annual three percent wage increases and when compounded, are valued at 9.27% over the life of the contract. Access to a more comprehensive healthcare plan that significantly decreases copays and deductibles, without an increase in overall costs.

Budtenders now have a say in their workplace conditions under the terms of their union contract. Ascend workers become just cause employees with access to a grievance procedure and regular contract negotiations.
