The present invention generally relates to endless belts such as are used, for example, in printers and imaging devices and, more particularly, to an electrically conductive, nonwoven endless belt of a very small thickness, and to a method for making the same.
Certain printers and imaging devices and machines require the use of a belt in the printing or imaging region of the device or machine. Depending on the particular application, the belt may be used to perform any one of several functions. For example, the belt can be used to perform a printer transport function, i.e., to transport and hold paper (or another material to be printed on) in the printing area of a conventional printer. The belt carries paper or the like and positions the same in front of the print head and, after printing, the belt indexes, thereby feeding the printed paper to the next area or section of the machine. The transport and holding function is usually assisted by a vacuum, drawn through perforations in the belt. Endless belts are also used as imaging belts, wherein the belt is charged with an image, the charge on the belt receives a toner and the image is then transferred to paper or another suitable material.
There are a number of important requirements to be met before a belt can be used in such applications. These requirements include, among others, the following: (1) the belt must be seamless or have a minimal or undiscernible seam; (2) the belt must be electrically conductive; (3) the belt must have good temperature resistance characteristics (as is discussed in more detail below); (4) the belt must be flexible; (5) the belt must have customized (controllable) frictional characteristics; (5) the belt must be thin (both for greater flexibility and for heat transfer advantages, as discussed below); and (6) the belt must be resistant to creasing.
There are, of course, a number of belts that are candidates for use in the applications described above but no single prior art belt embodies all of the advantages and meets all of the requirements set forth above. Two principal types of prior art belts are coated, woven endless belting and ultrasonically welded, thermoplastic film belts. The former, i.e., coated, woven, endless belts, possess many of the characteristics discussed above but that technology is not presently capable of providing very thin belts, i.e., belts having a thickness equal to or less than about 0.010 inches. Regarding the second type, although welded plastic (e.g., polyester (Mylar)) film belts have been employed in some applications, there are several problems and disadvantages with such belts in other important applications. For example, because of the thickness increase ("bump") at the weld, the seam shows up when printing on paper over the seam area. Further, when imaging directly onto the belt, i.e., in an application where the belt is used as an imaging belt, the seam also shows up on the paper and the image thereof is transferred. In addition, plastic film belts are easily creased, thus creating handling problems. Further, plastic film materials which are amenable to welding generally do not have the inherent temperature capabilities required. (Again, these requirements in connection with the specific application mentioned previously are discussed in more detail below.) A further disadvantage of plastic film belts is that surface conductivity is not easily achieved and bulk conductivity does not exist in materials meeting the temperature constraints in question. Also, plastic film belts are not very flexible and this is a disadvantage for a number of reasons. For example, where a vacuum assist is used, the vacuum is not as effective. Further, flex life is diminished. A further disadvantage is that plastic film belts are not readily coated, in an endless fashion, with elastomeric materials (such as may be required to render the belts conductive). In this regard, such belts cannot be coated prior to welding in that the coating will greatly inhibit the welding process.
Patents of interest in the field of belts include the following: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,823,942 (Martin et al); 3,542,633 (Goldsmith); and 3,482,676 (Fackler). The Martin et al patent relates to a document transport belt having a light reflective outer layer and an electrically conductive inner layer. The outer layer is made of ethylene propylene rubber or ethylene propylene diene rubber containing light reflective pigments. The electrically conductive inner layer is made of ethylene/propylene rubber or ethylene/propylene diene rubber containing conductive carbon black. The outer layer and inner layer are joined together to form a plied sheet. Heat and pressure are applied to the plied sheet to cure the base polymer in both layers. The Goldsmith patent relates to an electrically conductive anti-stick conveyor belt. The foraminous substrate of the belt is preferably made of glass fiber cloth, but may be made of other flexible materials. The substrate is provided with openings, either inherently through its weave or directly formed with openings by perforating. The flexible substrate is coated with a fluorocarbon polymer to provide anti-stick properties. This base coating, which is non-conductive, is, in turn, covered with a conductive fluorocarbon coating so that electrostatic charges on the face of the belt can leak off through the conductive coating to the back of the belt to grounded backing plates or rollers. The Fackler patent relates to a belt for a document feeding apparatus having a light reflective outer layer and an electrically conductive inner layer. In a typical example, the outer belt layer is made of a white or light colored polyolefin or neoprene and the inner layer is made of graphite impregnated neoprene. The layers are secured together by bonding.
Other patents of possible interest include the following: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,526,357 (Kuehnle et al); 4,287,984 (Okamoto et al); 4,244,465 (Hishikawa et al); 3,986,773 (Marx et al); 3,584,733 (Isermann); 3,437,336 (Enke et al); and 2,576,882 (Koole et al).
In accordance with the invention, a welded porous nonwoven endless belt is provided which is particularly adapted for use in printers and imaging devices and which overcomes the problems with prior art belts discussed above. The belt of the invention basically comprises a nonwoven, porous, open pore thermoplastic substrate ultrasonically welded to form a continuous loop and having an electrically conductive thermoplastic or thermosetting elastomeric coating (or coatings) thereon. The porosity of the substrate is preferably between about 0.1 cubic feet per minute and 25 cubic feet per minute, wherein porosity is defined in terms of amount of air that flows through the substrate in cubic feet per minute (CFM) using the Frazier CFM test method. As discussed below, this porosity or openness enables bulk conductivity to be achieved as well as ensures a substantially smooth weld at the joint between the original belt ends.
As compared with a woven belt, the belt of the invention can be made very thin and, in this regard, depending on the choice of substrate and the amount of coating or coatings applied thereto, the composite belt thickness can range from 0.002 inches to 0.015 inches. In general, the applications discussed above typically require a finished overall thickness of no more than 0.010 inches and as the highest thickness in the range set forth above is approached, the advantages of the invention diminish as compared with other available products. In addition to thinness, the belt of the present invention is flexible and in this regard, has much greater flexibility than a conventional plastic film. Moreover, the belt of the invention does not easily crease. Further, as noted above, the belt has a minimal thickness increase ("bump"), if any, at the weld. In addition, the belt can be made surface conductive, bulk conductive or both and the ability of the belt to be made bulk conductive is substantially advantageous as discussed below. Further, the temperature resistance thereof is greater than conventional "weldable" plastic films. Also, the belt is easily coated and thus a choice is provided as to the frictional characteristics of the belt which is desirable in matching the belt to a particular application. Thus, in summary, the belt of the invention fulfills all of the basic requirements which must be met in the applications discussed above.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in, or apparent from, the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevational view of a portion of prior art belt showing the seam or joint;
FIG. 2 is a schematic side elevational view of a portion of a belt according to the present invention showing the seam or joint for comparative purposes;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematic perspective and end elevational views, respective, showing the use of ultrasonic welding in joining together the ends of a belt in accordance with the invention; and
FIGS. 5(a) to 5(d) are schematic side elevational views of different embodiments of the belt of the invention.
As set forth above, the belt of the invention comprises a porous nonwoven substrate. The substrate can be made of any suitable thermoplastic having a porosity that will provide an essentially smooth weld as well as bulk conductivity. Examples of such materials include polyester and aramid. The substrate preferably comprises a combination of short fibers and fibrids (filmy particles), or a randomly laid continuous fiber. It is believed that the openness or porosity of the substrate enables bulk conductivity to be achieved as well as results in the essentially smooth weld (a minimal increase in thickness at the weld) referred to above.
Bulk conductivity, which is also known as volume resistivity, is the ratio of the potential (voltage) gradient measured in the direction of the current flow in a material to current density in the material, and the standard unit of measure is the ohm-centimeter. Substantial or significant bulk conductivity is desirable in the belt of the invention and it is an advantage of the invention that such bulk conductivity can be achieved. In this regard, a drive system employing a bulk conductive belt can dissipate any possible triboelectric charge buildup, e.g., simply by grounding a pulley. Otherwise, i.e., without this feature, additional equipment, e.g., a brush, is required. Further, a bulk conductive belt is not a source of static. Bulk conductivity in the belt of the invention is provided by the conductive coating and in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, conductive carbon black added to a polymer coating provides the desired conductivity. The range of loading of electrically conductive carbon black is on the order of 40 to 90 parts per hundred parts of raw polymer. Of course, this loading may be varied depending upon the polymer selected and the particular balance of properties that are desired. Suitable polymers include ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polychloroprene (Neoprene), nitrile, urethane, and fluoroelastomers.
Considering in more detail the temperature requirements placed on a belt in the applications discussed above, it is noted that the use of a belt in a printer transport application requires resistance to continuous temperatures of 230� F. to 250� F. and resistance to intermittent or noncontinuous temperatures of 350� F. to 400� F. The former requirement is a product of the need to combat the effect of the radiant heat received by the belt because of the proximity of the print head to the belt. The latter, higher temperature condition can occur when there is a misfeed of the paper or a misfire from the print head in that, in such a situation, hot ink can be sprayed directly onto the belt. A very important advantage of the belt of the invention in this situation over a conventional plastic film belt is that the latter will shrink and distort permanently in the area where the ink or the high temperature has had an effect. In contrast, with the belt of the invention, the distortion is minimal and, more importantly, any distortion is reversible. In other words, when the ink is scraped off, the belt returns to its original flat state.
With respect to the use of a belt in an imaging application, the temperature requirements are resistance at 300� F. to 350� F. The belt of the present invention does not distort at these temperatures, in contrast to film materials that can be seamed to form a belt. In this regard, it is noted that Kapton, for example, is a film material that can withstand the temperatures discussed above without distortion. However, Kapton is not amenable to ultrasonic welding and there is always a discernable joint when the ends of a strip of Kapton are joined together to form a belt.
As mentioned above and is also discussed below, the porosity of the belt substrate is a key factor in providing some of the important characteristics of the belt of the invention (e.g., bulk conductivity and a seamless joint). In general, this porosity should be between about 0.1 CFM (cubic feet per minute) and about 25 CFM, and in a specific exemplary embodiment, the porosity was 8 CFM, where porosity is measured using the Frazier CFM test method as mentioned above. A relative indication of this porosity is the specific gravity of the substrates relative to specific gravity of the raw polymer from which the substrates are made. In a specific exemplary embodiment, the raw aramid polymer used has a specific gravity of 1.38 whereas the range of the aramid substrates that have been used is 0.3 to 0.6 and since there is no other component in the substrates, the difference in specific gravity is due to the porosity, i.e., the openness or voids, in the fiber-fibrid structure. In the example given, the specific gravity of the substrate is between about 20% to 50% of that of the raw polymer.
Considering the advantages of the invention with respect to the seam (or lack thereof) provided, as compared with conventional plastic film belts, and referring to FIG. 1, there are shown the two ends 10a and 10b of a continuous belt or belt substrate 10, these ends 10a and 10b being joined together by, e.g., ultrasonic welding, in a weld region W. As illustrated, a seam or step ("bump") is provided at the weld and this seam creates various disadvantages discussed above.
Referring to FIG. 2, an endless belt substrate 12 is shown wherein the ends 12a and 12b are joined together at a weld region W'. As shown, this joining together of the ends 12a and 12b is accomplished with a very small seam and in practice, little or no seam is produced when the ends of the belt substrate are joined by ultrasonic welding.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the manner in which the latter technique can be carried out using a movable anvil 14 that forms a base against which the welding is accomplished, and an ultrasonic welding horn indicated at 16. In this embodiment, one end, e.g., end 12b, of a cut flat sheet of the belt substrate 12 is fixed to anvil 14. It is noted that in order to carry out the manufacture of wide belts, the anvil 14 is typically placed on an air-actuated or motor driven slide mechanism (not shown) so as to enable anvil 14 to transverse during the welding operation as indicated by arrow 18. In the next pre-welding step, the other end, e.g., end 12a, of substrate 12 is brought up and affixed to anvil 14 in an overlapping manner with respect to the first end 12b. The amount of overlap is typically on the order of 0.030 inches. The ultrasonic horn 16 is brought down on top of the overlapped material and ultrasonic energy is transmitted therefrom to the overlapped region or joint. Ultrasonic welding is well known per se and provides for converting electrical energy into vibratory mechanical energy at ultrasonic frequencies, this vibratory energy being transferred to the parts being welded together by means of, in the case, ultrasonic horn 16. This ultrasonic energy from horn 16 causes melting and hence joining together of the parts. The anvil 14 is then transversed, i.e., moved in the direction of arrow 18, in order to provide a seam along the entire width of the belt. As noted above, the use of ultrasonic welding with the porous substrate material results in an essentially smooth weld, i.e., there is minimal increase in the thickness of the weld.
As mentioned above, the conductive coating of the belt of the invention can be applied in different ways. Referring to 5(a), a belt 20 is shown which comprises a substrate 22 having a coating 24a on one (the upper) surface thereof As shown in FIG. 5(b), coatings, denoted 24b, can be applied to both surfaces of substrate 22. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 5(c) a coating, denoted 24c, can be applied to all surfaces, including the edge or lateral surfaces, or as shown in FIG. 5(d), a coating, denoted 24d, can be applied to the top and edge surfaces. It is also noted that the coating can be preferentially applied to one side as compared to another side, i.e., so that a different thickness is applied to the two sides.
A substrate strip was used which was cut 10 inches wide and 14.030 inches long and had a thickness of 0.0035 inches. The substrate was polymer-based nonwoven material with a continuous operating temperature capability of 400� F. to 450� F. The polymer can be an "aramid" which is a type of polyamide and one trade of which is Nomex, manufactured by E.I. Dupont. A "spunbonded" process was used in making the substrate. This strip was ultrasonically welded using the technique described above to form a continuous belt having width of 10 inches and a circumference of 14 inches. As explained previously, depending on the choice of substrate material, a seam thickness equal to, or slightly greater than, the substrate itself can be achieved. In general, this increase is less than about 15% and is typically about 5%. As discussed above, it is believed that this lack of a seam is in a large part due to the porosity of the substrate material, this porosity providing spaces within the overlapped ends that permit the material of these ends to flow together during the welding process.
After formation of the substrate into a loop or belt, the belt was coated. A primer coat was applied to enhance adhesion of the top or final coat to the substrate. The primer coat was an isocyanate primer but other primers can be used. A light coating (on the order of 1% to 2% by weight) of the primer was used. In this example, the top coat was an EPDM compound with the ability to withstand an intermittent temperature of 350� F. to 400� F. As noted above, the top coat can be any of a number of polymers including polychloroprene (Neoprene), nitrile, urethane, and fluoroelastomers. Further, the coat or coats can be aqueous or solvent based, and layers of two or three of the above polymers can be applied to the same belt substrate.
In this example, the coating was applied to the inside of the belt substrate to a thickness of approximately 0.001 inches and to the outside to thickness of 0.004 inches. As discussed above, the coating can be applied equally to both sides of the belt substrate or preferentially to one side, depending on the requirements of the particular application of the finished belt. In this example, the finished belt thickness was 0.0085 (0.0035 inches for the substrate and 0.0050 for the coating).
The coating applied was conductive containing a loading of electrically conductive carbon black within the range of on the order of 40 to 90 parts per hundred of the raw polymer. As discussed above, this loading can vary depending on the choice of polymer and the particular balance of properties desired. Because of the porosity of the substrate, bulk conductivity was achieved as opposed to surface conductivity only. As a consequence, as described above, any adverse charge build up can be dissipated directly through the belt to ground, e.g., through a grounded pulley.
After application of the coating, the polymer belt was vulcanized or cured. The heat applied and time when applied is not critical and, in general, application of heat for sufficient period will effect adequate curing. A flat press, used with appropriate temperature and pressure, enables imparting of various different surface impressions or textures (from smooth to rough) with the proper choice of release sheets. Once the belt was cured, a final slitting procedure was used to provide a belt of the required width.
Although the present invention has been described relative to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations and modifications can be effected in these exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

SIGFOX Announces Winners of IoT Hackathon for 'Smarter' San Francisco Connected to SIGFOX Global Network
November 24, 2015
SAN FRANCISCO – Nov. 24, 2015 – SIGFOX, a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) network connectivity, today announced the four winning projects in the Smart City IoT Hackathon in San Francisco, earning them the chance to pitch their concepts to city officials. Hosting the event along with the City of San Francisco's Office of Civic Innovation and the Department of Technology, Texas Instruments, Microsoft Corp., Plasma, Accenture and other technology leaders, SIGFOX brought together 150 developers and makers to build prototypes of connected hardware that can be used in the IoT for civic impact.
The SIGFOX network, which is dedicated to the IoT, has been rolled out across San Francisco, and will be deployed in nine other major U.S. cities by Q1 2016.
During the Nov. 20-22 #connectyourcity hackathon, 150 developers and makers created prototypes to make San Francisco smarter on topics such as air quality, water usage, intelligent lighting, traffic and transportation.
"Becoming smarter as a city means setting up the right infrastructure and creating an environment that invites community participation," said Miguel A. Gamiño Jr, San Francisco's chief information officer and executive director of the Department of Technology. "We established the network and invited developers to the hackathon as a way to engage this creative community to help us discover the potential for using this new network. I'm impressed by the level of creativity demonstrated over the weekend and see potential for meaningful real-life application."
"This weekend's hackathon was an overwhelming success and validation that the City of San Francisco is the right place for companies that want to be on the leading edge of technology, and that SIGFOX is the right choice for highly cost- and power-efficient connectivity for devices requiring low levels of data," said Allen Proithis, president SIGFOX North America.
To quickly expand in the U.S. and allow businesses to scale their solutions wherever its network is operating, SIGFOX is working with an open ecosystem of partners, including the world's leading technology and solution enablers whose offerings have been certified through the SIGFOX Ready™ certification program.
Participants of the 48-hour event competed for $200,000 in prizes and built applications using the latest Texas Instruments booster pack certified on the SIGFOX network, as well as Microsoft Azure IoT technology and the Plasma Connect2me IoT Platform.
"By putting on this hackathon with SIGFOX, we wanted to encourage developers to leverage our unmatched long-range wireless connectivity for their IoT applications," said Thomas Almholt, applications manager, wireless connectivity solutions, Texas Instruments. "We are excited to see such innovative designs come out of the weekend and can't wait to see how developers use the SIGFOX network moving forward."
After multiple successful IoT deployments in Europe using the EU's Sub-1 GHz spectrum, SIGFOX will allow U.S. customers to use its network with TI's Sub-1 GHz RF transceivers to deploy wireless sensor nodes that are lower cost and lower power than 3G/cellular connected nodes, while providing long-range connectivity to the IoT.
The hackathon also marked the first collaboration between SIGFOX and Microsoft, as the participants of #connectyourcity used the Microsoft Cortana Analytics Suite, a cloud service for data scientists and developers using predictive analytics in applications. More information on SIGFOX's collaboration on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform will be announced in the near future.
The four winning teams that will pitch their smart city concepts to San Francisco city officials are:
Best Startup Project
Audio Argus, a predictive-maintenance solution created by David Sykora, Merrick Clark and Joel Brinton, to keep the city running on time and under budget. "Using acoustic waves, we can determine if your fleet of vehicles, air-conditioning units, medical devices, or any device with a mechanical component, is working properly or needs service," the team said.
The team receives a free one-year subscription on the SIGFOX network and dedicated support, gift cards to redeem in the Texas Instruments' store and dedicated support, and free Microsoft Azure services for one year.
Best Civic Innovation Project
WaterSaver, developed by Nick Pera and Ben Morse, optimizes smart green-area watering during California's severe drought. Based on live metrics (weather, humidity and temperature), forecasts and machine learning, connected valves and sprinklers turn on when needed and allow the city to conserve the resource.
The team receives a free subscription for one year on the SIGFOX network and dedicated support, as well as gift card to redeem on Texas Instruments' store and dedicated support.
Best Technical Project
DryWater, developed by Nicolas Triballier, Pascal Boudier, Pierre Guillot and Julien Brette, is a connected fight-water-waste solution. It monitors public green-area moisture to water them only when necessary. Machine-learning algorithms and network coverage across wide areas allow to optimized resource usage in public parks, fields etc.
The team receives a free one-year subscription on the SIGFOX network and dedicated support, as well as gift card to redeem on Texas Instruments' store and dedicated support, and free Plasma Connect2.me access and cloud service for a year.
Best Smart City Project
Better Bike is a GPS tracker and distance sensor for bicycles to ensure a safer commute. Created by Shimolee Nahar, Boyd Lever and Mudit Mittal, the Better Bike team receives a free Plasma Connect2.me access and cloud service for one year.

At the End of the Road Bed & Breakfast, Volcano
A delightful experience
Literally at the end of the road of tall ferns and forest, peace and quiet prevailed. Explicit instructions enabled us to enter through the gate and front door and settle in and not meet the hosts until morning breakfast. We enjoyed the camaraderie at breakfast, meeting the 2 other guests and getting to know the hosts.
At the End of the Road Bed & Breakfast, Volcano
Clean as a Whistle and Affordably Priced
Owners went out of their to make us feel welcome adding special touches that were greatly appreciated. The room and the bathroom were very clean and well stocked. You miss a great opportunity if you don't stay at this B&B.
At the End of the Road Bed & Breakfast, Volcano
Our visit to Volcano
Our hosts Lani and Ray were very welcoming. Their place was very quiet (the whole neighborhood is actively controling the coqui frog population!), clean and comfortable. Ray provided us with great advice for our visit to close-by Volcano Nat park and even flashlights. We highly recommend staying at their bed and breakfast if you are planning a trip to Volcano.
At the End of the Road Bed & Breakfast, Volcano
Quiet room at the end of the road.
Far from everything but the home is very quiet. They are pretty strict about the rules of the house. It was a very clean home, but i felt like I was walking on pins & needles. The bed was a little hard. You are asked to complete a little breakfast form upon arrival. Choice of coffee, juice, toast or frozen eggo waffles with butter and jam. That's it. The couple was friendly and talkative during breakfast though. It was nice but not outstanding.

Very tidy, very sweet rooms, quite and peaceful. Lovely host and interesting breakfast makes you fell like home.

Book Description CAN WOMAN EVER CONQUER MAN? Queen Serpot rules the Land of Women, where the Amazon women live free, without men, and hunt and fight their own battles. But one day their peace is broken. An army of Egyptian soldiers is approaching their land, led by their prince, Pedikhons. Pedikhons has heard stories of these warrior women. Now he has come to see them with his own eyes -- and to challenge them to combat. But the brave Serpot and her women are full of surprises. Can woman truly equal man in strength and courage? This story of love and war is based on an actual Egyptian scroll from the Greco-Roman period. Hieroglyphic translations of key phrases, intricate paintings in the Egyptian and Assyrian styles, and extensive notes about both cultures enrich this fascinating, untold legend.

Gold – Bullish break on daily chart
FX:XAUUSD Gold/U.S. Dollar
Resistance - $1358, $1378-1380, $1400
Support - $1344, $1335, $1328
Pattern – Bullish break from expanding channel
Support - $1344, $1335, $1328
Pattern – Bullish break from expanding channel
- Gold's bullish break from expanding channel formation on Friday has left the doors wide open for the continuation of the rising trend from December low and a possible test of Leg D of Cypher pattern seen at $1378 levels.
- However, prices failed to cut through $1358 (June 24 high) and retreated to $1350. The daily RSI is still away from the overbought region which means another attempt at $1358 could be made.
- A break above the same would expose $1370-1378 levels.
- On the downside, only a day end closing back inside channel would signal bullish invalidation.

- Great lights pity about the bulbs? Review by John Whit
Quality Price Value
Like I have already said, quality is very good of all the lights I have had but customer service I am sad to say at this time is far lacking in what I have come to expect and its cost me nearly £12 to buys some bulbs to replace what I borrowed to ensure all the lights in my house are working (Posted on 29/08/2016)

LEAP into Action!
LEAP 2016 Issues
MANY ISSUES WILL come before Congress between now and the LEAP Conference in mid-May. While there are many issues on which we could lobby, we do try to limit them to about four major topics for our visits to the Hill. The goal of our lobbying efforts are to strenghten our workers rights to receive good pay, a safe working environment, and retirement security.
Below are some of the issues for this year's 2016 LEAP Conference:
- Energy: A handful of bills will be introduced addressing EPA regulations, streamlining permitting on energy projects, another attempt to pass a coal ash bill, and other related issues. As of now the Supreme Court has put a halt to the EPA's Clean Power Plan intiative. We will continue to pressure Congress for additional funding on fossil fuel technology research and development as well as preventing the EPA administration from implementing the CPP.
- Trade: Like last year, trade will be one of our biggest ongoing battles in Congress. With "Fast Track Authority" being passed in advance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (NAFTA on steroids) being finalized by the administration. We will most certainly be focusing our lobbying efforts against the TPP. We do not want Congress to give up their authority of oversight on trade deals, which is what Fast Track would do. No hearings, no oversight. Just an up-or-down vote on a trade agreement no one has seen.
- Ship Building: We remain committed to supporting the Jones Act. We oppose the possibility of the Act becoming a bargaining chip in upcoming major trade deals. We support a recommitment to loan guarantees. As for defense spending, we'll see what the White House proposes in its upcoming budget and what Congress tries to appropriate towards the development our ship building industry.
- WAGE Act: The Workplace Action for a Growing Economy (WAGE) Act has been introduced in the House and Senate. It takes important steps to strengthen protections for workers who join together with their co-workers to win improvements at work (including the growing "temporary" workforce that more employers are utilizing to supplant permanent workers), discourages employer retaliatilion, and provides for prompt and fair remedies. This bill aims to make labor law enforcement more effective in giving working people a fair shot at winning the wages and working conditons they deserve.
Suggestions are always welcomed for our annual lobby visits, so feel free to pass your ideas on to us. Please keep in mind that we need to avoid specific, local issues for our main topics, but delegates should definitely make those a priority when you visit your own members of Congress.
We have a lot to discuss at LEAP this year, and we look forward to a very exciting conference.
If you have any questions please contact Cecile Conroy, Director, Government Affairs, at 202-756-2868 x202 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Boilermaker Politics
The goal of the Boilermakers' legislative and political efforts is organizing the strength of our working men and women to win good pay, retirement security, safe work environments, and much more. The union pursues political action through the Legislative Education Action Program (LEAP), an inclusive and bipartisan effort to support candidates who champion the values and beliefs of working families, promote needed energy investments, promote the shipbuilding and industrial manufacturing base, and support fair trade. The union encourages members to be active participants in the political process through voting and volunteering.

Bill # S.1714
7/7/2015--Introduced.Miners Protection Act of 2015 This bill amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to address potential shortages in the Multiemployer Health Benefit Plan for payment of health care benefits to retired coal miners by expanding the eligible uses of interest transferable to such plan from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, and supplemental payments from the General Fund of the Treasury. The calculation of such interest and payments shall be made by tak7/7/2015--Introduced. Miners Protection Act of 2015 This bill amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to address potential shortages in the Multiemployer Health Benefit Plan for payment of health care benefits to retired coal miners by expanding the eligible uses of interest transferable to such plan from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, and supplemental payments from the General Fund of the Treasury. The calculation of such interest and payments shall be made by taking into account only those beneficiaries who are actually enrolled in the plan as of the enactment of this Act, as well as those retirees whose health care benefits, payable directly by an employer in the bituminous coal industry under a coal wage agreement, would be denied or reduced as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding commenced in 2012. The bill requires the Department of the Treasury to transfer to the trustees of the 1974 United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Pension Plan additional funds to pay pension benefits required under that plan, if the $490 million cap on certain transfers to the UMWA Combined Benefit Fund and distributions to states and Indian tribes exceed the aggregate amount required to be transferred to them. The bill also expands the annual reporting requirements of the trustees of the 1974 UMWA Pension Plan on plan solvency and value of plan assets....
