Hi Mr. Boreen,

As I am not part ofDHR, bUt of GSA, I do not have access to the DHR letterhead..

Per your own s-upplemental information, you do not have the C-36 or a 5-year plumbing apprenticeship, but a sprinkle fitter apprenticeship. The

rwo are gill the same and are not interchangeable. The reason you were admitted into the 7347 and 7213 was due to the substitutions for the

Hi Dan.

Per exhibit 1, I did write "No apprenticeship." However, the minimum qual.ifications for this position are for a plumbing apprenticeship, written in

the same email and in the classification for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector class. I apologize for the vagueness, but the minimum qualifi_cation is still

a plumbing apprenticeship or a C~36license.

Per exhibit 2, UA is a governing agency of many differem trades (steamfrtr:ers, welding, plumbing, sprinkle fitters, HVAC). That does not mean all

the trades are the same and interchangeable.

EXHIBIT A

EXHIBIT A Exhibit 415 shows your completion of a sprinkle fitting apprenticeship, which is not the same as a plumbing apprenticeship.

Exhibits 6n shows you on the eligible list for the 7347 Plumber and the 7213 Plumber Supervisor, which have a different set of minimum

qualifications, as it is written "completion of a recognized five (5) -year Apprenticeship in the craft." Those two classifications do not specifically

ask for a plumbing apprenticeship like the 6242 Plumbing Inspector.

Per your inquiry about a "waiver," I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for. We cannot "waive" the minimum qualifications for a

position..

Re: Notice on CBT-2642-901868 Plumbing Inspector Announcement

Dear Ml:. Cheng,

Respectfully, this is a written objection in response to the notice dated December 4, 2017, wherein it is suggested that my application and experience did not meet the minimum qualifications for the CBT-2642-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement. (See Exhibit 1.)

For edification pw:poses, the governing body and par:ent of the entire piping indust._-y labor union is the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fit:t:ing Industry of the United States and Canada ("UR') (emphasis added). (See Exhibit 2.)

The UA supports California's Department of lndustri.al Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards ("DIR-DAS'') by, and in conjunction with, training programs run through local joint ttaining committees .in specific cities or regions; in this instance, Sp.ci:nkler FitteJ:s UA Local483 Joint Apprenticeship Comm1ttee. (See Exhibit 3.)

Exhibit 1 clearly indicates that the UA:s own language, i.e., "and Sprinkler Fitting Industry", is inclusive language of the piping industry as a whole .including, but not limited to, plumbing, pipefitting, welding, heati..J.g, ventilation, refrigeration, air conditioning, service technicians, etc.

Indeed, at min.imum I acco,m.plished the qualifying Uil.'s Building Trades Journeyman status by fully satisfying the DIR-DAS' approved apprenticeship program. (See Exhibit 4.)

Indeed, I believe I provided a letter of verification and qualifying experience of UA Building Trades Journeyman status, as well as additional competency via the form of the application and supporting resume. (See Exhibit 5)

Also, as additional anecdotal evidence of the possession exceeding the specialized knowledge, skills and abilities to rninitnally qualify for the position at issue, attached as Exhibits 6 & 7 is the contemporaneous 7437 Plumber Eligibility List, and the prior notice of eligibility following the examination for the 7213 Plumber Supervisor I position, respectfully.

If the foregoing in not to your satisfaction, alte.trul.tively, I fortnally request a waiver, along vzith specific directions for the entire body of records and information on waivers pursuant to the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, as well as the California Public Records Act.

Thank you for your public service, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

&: FIRST SUPPLEMEotTAL RESPONSE to Notice on CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector .. tum.ouncement

Dear MJ:. Cheng,

For the record, I respectfully submit this FIRST SUPPLE1:vffil'tTJlL wlltten objection follo-wing your e-mail message of December 11, 2017, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 8. Additionally, please take notice that tb.i.s FIRST SUPPlEMENTAL written objection incorporates by reference the prior "Written objection with Exhibits 1 through 7, inclusive, as though fully set forth herein.

It is undisputed that Exhibit 8 uniliterally concludes that fundamental piping-industry KNOWLEDGE, SKII.LS-&- .. illli..I'IlES-(..:.:KSA'!j-is-demonstrated-through-examination-and status on the ELIGIBLE LIST for

----emplojment annOOOcenierit(s) 7:)47 'Plun:lhe! and 7-2f3 Plumbet Supervisor. (.reSpectiVely, as-folloWs: -- -

• "COMPLETION of a rocognized FIVE (5) year Apprenticeship in the craft; AND 1HREE (3) YEARS of experience as a journeyman plumbef' (see Exhibit 9: 7347 Plumber announcement);

• "Completion of a five (5) year recognized plumber; appronticeship program AND Fh•e (5) years of omfiabk work experience as ajournry-level plumbei' (see Exhibit 10: 7213 Plumber Supervisor I announcement).

Contrarily, Exhibit 8 purports that 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I are ".. a dijferent .set of minimum qualifications ... " because " ... [t]ho.re two classifications do not specijicalfy ask for a plumbing apprenticeship like the 6242 Plumbing Inspector."

NOT SO!

Review of the CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement shows that the unfounded conclusion in Exhibit Sls a distinction without a difference, and fatally flawed, to wit

• "Completion of plumbing appronticeship which has been certffied I!J the State of California and three (3) years of journej-level expen'etJce in the tradi' (see Exhibit 11: 6242 Plumbing Inspector).

As a matter of law, there is no such thing as an: " ... apprenticeship which ha.r been certified fD• the State of Ca!ijornicl'; nor has such an object ever existed. Accordingly, a brief phone call to California's Department of Industrial &lations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards (''DIR-DAS") confirmed the fact there is ABSOLUTELY NO " ... apprenticeship which ha.r been certified ly the State of California"', nor has there ever been one. (See Exhibit 13.) Thus, Exhibit 8's analysis, posture & unilateral assertion for a distinction of mini.."Uum qualifications, are fundamentally & fatally flawed.

The core question at issue is: Whether the intent of a "recognized ... apprenticeship program" [emphasis added] over a five (5) year duration specified for 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I constitute the eguivalent of, and meet the intent for, the KSA requirement for a phantom "apprenticeship which has been certified 0' the State of California" [emphasis added]; and whether an approved & registered apprenticeship program, ostensibly by the DIR-D.'\S, meets the intent of a recognized apprenticeship program by virtue of its approval & registration by the State of California-- as a min1mum qualification for the CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement?

Pursuant to the Califomia Code of Regulations, Title 8, Division 1, Chapter 2, Subchapter 1. Apprenticeship, 8 CCR § 205 Definitions, subsection(s) (d) - (f), the relevant and applicable definitions for a recognized apprenticeship that is approved with & registered by the State of California are as follows:

• (d) "Registration of an Apprentice Agreement" means the acceptance and recording ther'eof by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards which serves as evidence of the participation of the appre:o:tice 1n a specific apprenticeship progra.m

(_

c -2- December 18, 2017

• (e) ':t\pprenticeship Program" means a comprehensiv-e phn containing, among other things, apprenticeship standards, committee rules and regulations, related and supplemental instruction course outlines and policy statements for the effective administration of the apprenticeable occupation.

• (f) «Apprenticeship Program Standaxds" means that written document containing among other things all the terms and conditions for the qualification, recruitment, selection, employment and training, working conditions, wages, employee benefits, and other compensation for apprentices and all other provisions and statements including attachments as required by the Labor Code and this Chapter which, when approved bv the Chief DAS, shall constitute registration of such. and authoritv to conduct that program of apnrenticeship in the State of California (Emphasis added.)

(See Exhibit 12.)

The irrefutable answer is: YES - an approved & recognized apprenticeship program can only exist follo'W1ng application to. and subsequent awroval & registration by the DIR-DAS: a quasi-judicial agency of the State of California authorized by the Legislature to exercise discretion within its limited subject matter jurisdiction to conduct hearings on the record, accept & deny evidence into the record, and issue judicially reviewable findings of fact on the merits of a clai.rn or controversy at issue. (See Exhibit 3; and 3A herein.)

Thus> because there exists no such "apprenticeship whit'h hm been certified l?J' the State rf Ca!ijornid' for any buikling trade, whatsoever; rather, there is legislative authorization for approved & registered apprenticeship programs recognized by the State of California's DIR-DAS, the term" ... recogo:ized ... apprenticeship ... "as published for 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I axe conclusive minimum qualification standru:ds.

The other issue raised and unilaterally asserted by Exhibit 8 mandates a contextual citing and conflation, to wit " ... [C]onpi<tion '![ a prinkle[r] (sic) fitting apprenticeship ... " " ... is not the same as a plumbing apprenticeship." "That does not mean all the trades are the same and interchangeable."

Once again) especially as applied to KSA continuity of the piping system industry as a whole ... NOT SO!

To Keep It Simple [Sir], spcinkler fitting is pipefitting: a subset of the piping system industry requiring specialized KSA with respect to fire code requirements on systems composed of large. high-volume. ~ pressure distribution & discharge systems. principles and applications primarily in commercial & indust:cial applications, as well as inevitably in residences, that meet or exceed fire & plumbing codes that is complimented by a greater life-safety system, with additional code requirements, for the protection of life and property therein.

Plumbing is also a subset of the piping system industry, but requires only general KSA on codes for lowpressure water. gas & waste distribution & discharge princiules and applications prima.cily in residential structures, as well as inevitably in commercial & industrial buildings, where people habitat-- and eliminate -into a smaller piping system.that complies with~ plumbing codes; without any concern for fire codes, lifesafety codes, or the system(s) in place for the protection of life and property therein.

Sprinkler fitting is more complex than plumbing due to the layers of code complknce, so the apprenticeship was more rigorous - but the pipefi:tting skill sets obviously "are the same and interchangeable." ·

In conclusion, this ...vritten objection constitutes notice of a formal appeal against the fatally flawed CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement, and a request for a hearing before the Civ:il Service Commission.

Daniel Boreen- Appeal of the rejection of his application for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector (CBT-6242-901868) position.

Background

The recruitment for Plumbing Inspector (CBT-6242-901868) was open for filing from November 3, 2017 through November 20, 2017 (Attaclunent A). To qualify as a candidate for this recruitment, applicants needed to have either completed a plumbing apprenticeship certified by the State of California and three (3) years of journey-level experience in the trade or possess a C-36license issued by the State of California with experience in the trade totaling eight (8) years. All candidates must additionally possess a valid Driver License.

Daniel Boreen submitted an application (Attachment B) for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector recruitment on November 20, 2017 (Attaclunent C). On his application, he did not indicate that he completed a plumbing apprenticeship certified by the State of California or possessed a C-36 license issued by the State of California. Without either requirement, exam analyst Patrick Cheng of General Services Agency (GSA) Human Resources (HR) determined that he did not meet the minimum qualifications for this recruitment and his application was rejected on December 4, 2017 (Attachment D).

Mr. Boreen responded by sending an. e-mail challenging GSA HR's determination which contained a file (Attaclunent E). He expressed that because he completed an apprenticeship as a Sprinkler Fitter with the "United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices ofthe Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of the US and Canada" (UA), he should be qualified for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector position.

After reviewing these documents and consulting with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), GSA HR notified Mr. Boreen on December 11, 2017 that his e-mail and file were not enough to qualify him for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector position and he would not advance in the recruitment process (Attachment F).

CSC Register No. 0400-17-4 Dan Boreen

. Page2of6

On December 18, 2017, Mr. Boreen sent another email (Attachment G). In his e-mail, Mr. Boreen claimed the minimum qualifications for the 6242 position were "flawed." Mr. Boreen also claimed that "Sprinkler fitting is more complex than plumbing due to the layers of code compliance, so the apprenticeship was more rigorous- but the pipefitting skill sets obviously 'are the same and interchangeable."

On December 19,2017, GSA HRinformed Mr. Boreen that pursuant to Civil Service Rule 110.4, an appeal of the minimum qualifications would be untimely, as this type of appeal needed to be submitted "by close of business on the 5th business day following the issuance date of the examination announcement" (Attachment H). Mr. Boreen responded on the same day (Attachment I) asking for Human Resources Director, Ms. Micki Callahan, to rule on the matter, as well as inquiring on the date of the Plumbing Inspector examination to which he was not qualified to participate.

On the same day, December 19, 2017, GSA HR responded to Mr. Boreen (Attachment J) explaining that he did not meet the minimum qualifications, as he did not possess a C-36 License nor a Certificate of Completion of a State-certified plumbing apprenticeship. Additionally, GSA HR forwarded his request for the Plumbing Inspector examination dates to Jack Gallagher, who handles Public Records Requests for Administrative Services. GSA HR responded in writing that test dates could not be provided for examinations that have not yet been scheduled.

GSA HR determined that the additional information provided by Mr. Boreen was insufficient to allow him to advance in the recruitment process for the Plumbing Inspector CBT -6242-901868. Consequently, Mr. Boreen appealed GSA HR's determination to the Civil Service Commission on December 21,2017 (Attachment P).

Issue Does Dauiel Boreen meet the minimum qualifications required to participate in the CBT -6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector examination?

Findings

The minimum qualifications (MQs) for Class 6242 Plumbing Inspector require:

1) Completion of plumbing apprenticeship which has been c~rtified by the State of California and three (3) years of journey-level experience in the trade;

OR

2) A plumbing contractor with a C-36licenseissued by the State of California with experience . in the trade totaling eight (8) years

3

CSC Register No. 0400-17-4 Dan Boreen Page4 of6

AND

3) Possession of a valid California driver's license.

The MQs listed on the examination announcement are consistent with the MQs stated in the 6242 Plumbing Inspector class specification (Attachment K).

Mr. Boreen's application shows that he possesses experience as a Track Maintenance Worker, a Fire Alarm Dispatcher, a Firefighter and a Supervisor/Project Manager with UA Local #483 Sprinklerfitters.

As none of these positions clearly demonstrate possession of the required plumbing experience, GSA HR sent Mr. Boreen a rejection letter on December 4, 2017, allowing for additional documentation to be submitted that might more clearly show possession of the minimum qualifications.

During this period, Mr. Boreen provided a letter to the analyst stating that his membership in the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of United States and Canada (UA) and his placement of the eligible lists for 734 7 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I should qualifY him for this examination process.

GSA HR, after receiving these documents determined that experience as a Sprinkler Fitter is not equivalent to experience as a Plumber.

Therefore, Mr. Cheng responded back to Mr. Boreen informing him that completion of a sprinkler fitter apprenticeship is not equivalent to completion of a plumber apprenticeship and that his application remained rejected.

Analysis

Mr. Boreen states that he believes a 5-year sprinkler fitter apprenticeship is equivalent and is more rigorous than a 5-year plumbing apprenticeship; therefore, he should qualify for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector. While Mr. Boreen believes he should qualifY based on completion of a 5-year sprinkler fitter apprenticeship, the 6242 Plumbing Inspector MQs defmed in the class specification and the announcement state that an applicant must have completed a plumbing apprenticeship certified by the State of California.

Under the United Association (UA) website's apprenticeship section (Attachment E), it states that, "apprentices can choose a specific curriculum to pursue with the goal of becoming a plumber, pipefitter, sprinkler fitter, or service technician in the air conditioning/refrigeration field, or any of the other many service opportunities in the industry." Therefore, each ofthese areas is listed as a different trade that apprentices can choose, uniquely different from one another and requiring different training and coursework.

As stated on the United Association union of Plumbers, Fitters, Welders, & Service Techs (UA)'s website, Sprinkler Fitters install life and property saving frre protection systems. Plumbers perform work essential to the health and safety of our citizens.

4

CSC Register No. 0400-17-4 Dan Boreen Page 5 of 6

Additionally, an email from Local38 Business Agent, Jolm Chiarenza, (Attachment N) details the differences between the two trades:

" ... Plumber and Sprinkler fitters are two Separate trades. They both have separate apprenticeships and are separate jurisdictions under the same International nrdon, Plumbers serve a 5-year apprenticeship where they are taught Plumbing code from the UPC Uniform Plumbing Code including waste water and vent, gas installation, fixtures, appliances, proper rough in and sizing of the afore mentioned [sic] systems as well as back flow and medical gas installations, all of which would be inspected by a 6242 Plumbing Inspector.

Sprinkler fitters are taught the installation of fire suppression systems according to NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] code including sizing spacing supporting of said systems .... The two trades while related as pipe trades are two separate and distinct trades. They are recognized by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) as separate trades and have different prevailing wage rates and are represented by different local Unions with different hiring halls."

The DIR website also includes the steps to start an apprenticeship program and become approved and certified by DIR, a California State Agency (Attachment 0).

With regards to Mr. Boreen's placement on eligible lists for 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I, a review of these applications shows that placement on these lists was done in error. Documentation was received during the application process that showed he belonged to an organization that represented Plumbers, Pipe Fitters and Sprinkler Fitters. This is the same documentation that was provided for this recruitment. However, as stated in this report, this experience should not have been considered equivalent to the work performed by a plumber.

In addition to reviewing UA's website, the documents provided by Mr. Boreen about his apprenticeship and getting union input on this topic, the HR department for the San Francisco International Airport (AIR), was contacted with regards to this appeal as they had reviewed the qualifications for one of the recruitments for which Mr. Boreen was placed on the eligible list As a result, AIR met with their own departmental SMEs to determine if spriokler fitters should be considered for Plumber positions. The SMEs stated that Plumbers and Sprinkler Fitters are two distinct trades and that their duties were not similar at alL AIR's SMEs described Spriokler fitting as more complex in terms of dealing with life safety systems but not in the areas of dealing with

·plumbing, waste and vent piping for sewage and restrooms, nor dealing with water piping or any domestic portable water, which can be fatal if processed incorrectly. Finally, unlike plumbing, there is no human consumption in Sprinkler Fitter experience.

Conclusion

Applicants for positions with the City and County of San Francisco are evaluated based on their applications and are then determined to either meet or not meet the minimum qualifications stated in the job announcement. The 6242 Plumbing Inspector requires a minimum of either a) Completion of plumbing apprenticeship which has been certified by the State of California and three (3) years of journey-level experience in the trade; OR b) A plumbing contractor with a C-36license issued by the State of California with experience in the trade totaling eight (8) years; AND Possession of a valid California Drivers' License. Mr. Boreen has not completed the required plumbing

5

CSC Register No. 0400-17-4 Dan Boreen Page 6 of6

apprenticeship, nor does he possess a C-36 License, which are required to qualifY for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector position.

Mr. Boreen asserts within his correspondences with GSA that he believes his sprinkler fitter apprenticeship should qualifY him for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector position and that the minimum qualifications are "flawed." As indicated by Mr. Chiarenza ofLocal38, the trades are indeed uniquely different, only similar by both being "pipe trades." In addition, Mr. Chiarenza also writes that both plumbing and sprinkler fitter trades are both recognized by the DIR and DAS as separate trades.

As Mr. Boreen does not qualifY for the minimum qualifications for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector, and a 5-year Sprinkler Fitter Apprenticeship is not equivalent to a 5-year Plumbing Apprenticeship, Mr. Boreen should not move forward in the 6242 Plumbing Inspector examination process.

Recommendation

Deny Daniel Boreen's appeal and adopt the report.

As such reforms tu strengthen the national organization were being made in the early part of th.e century, however)

some locals broke ranks to form a rival Union. In August 1906, members of the secessionist Union realized the futility

of furtner dvalry and agreed to affiliate ""th the United Association.

From 1898 to 1914, the United Association went through several phases of a struggle with the International Association

of Steam and Hot Water Fitters and Helpers, a prolonged and sometimes bitter dispute both over jurisdiction over a

craft (steam:fitting) and work assignments (plumbars vs. steamfitters). The conflict affected other building trades when

walkouts by the dval steamfitting organizations, as a result of their jurisdictional dispute, led to work stoppages br

other crafts.

The strength of the United Association, and fa,•orable rulings by the American Federation of Labor, including the

revocatiDD of the International Association's charter in 1912, ended this jndsdictional battle, but other jurisdlctitmal

issues would continue to challenge the l.Jnion.

New disputes arose over the construction of chemical plants and other manufacturing and service establishments that

required extensive piping systems. Large volumes of newer types ofpipefitting installation in the shifl:from World War

l wartime indusu1es to peacetime construction caused considerable difficulties. Jurisdictional problems also developed

with other national Unions) but the United Association retained jurisdiction over important) gro'111-ing areas of,\·ork like

construction of industrial plants, public utilities, petroleum facilities and residential buildings.

United Association and a.ttend related training class,;. Its National Plmnhlng Apprenticeship Plan oflg36 was the first

set of standards governing apprenticeship to "'1n approv.a1 of the federal government

In the Depression, United Association membership fell from its 1929 peak of 6o,ooo to 26,ooo by 1933.

After several constitutional changes through the years, the 1946 convention changed the name of the organization to its

present name: The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of

the United States and Canada.

Throughout World War II and after, the United Association made considerable gains in membership and prestige.

Between 1940 and 1954 membership surged from 6o,ooo to 240,000 with veterans entering the skilled craftsmen

field.

Unfted Association member George Meany was elected in 1952 to be president of the newly formed AFL-CIO and was

to pmvide a shaping force in the American labor movement uutil his death in 1980.

The New Frontier of President John F. Kennedy and Great Society of President Lyndon Johnson were movements

supported by the United Association. With expanded training programs beginning in 1<)56, the UAwas able to meet the

demands of accelerated construction activity in the 1960s. With the increased work the slogan, "There is no substitute

for UA skilled craftsmen" became v.idespread throughout the industry. By 1971 tlte UA was 320,000 strong.

According to UA'.s reports to the Department of Labor since 2000, the unfon has consistently had about 93% members

ln 2008, the United Association treated the V~terans In Piping program for two speclfic reasons-to extend a helping hand to eur U.S. military servlce members returnlng to the civilian workforce and to help fill the cr1tical shortage of skilled VA craftsmen. !Jttle did we know at the time of its inception, that the VIP program would change the hveS of so many deserving military service members. Nor could we have ever predicted the om pact and change that the UA VIP program would have on the way Congress, the Department of Defense, and highest leadership m all branches of the armed forces perceive the!r transitionlng military service members today.

The success of the UA VIP program has s1gnlfied the commonaliti-es amongst m!litat)' and UA leader:shop. Military officers swear under oath to uphold one of the most important duties, which Is to return their service members to society as prodvctive citizens-better citizens than they Were when they enlisted to serv~ our oountry~ The same imparta:nt duty Is being fulfilled through the United Association through the support given to the UA

VIP program, which provide:; free training to ensure service men and women experience a seamless transition ba-ck inio the civilian workforce and are able to continue: a productive, successful, and meaningful lifestyle. Military and UA leadership also acknowledge- the men and women who serve our country as our most-valuable assets. Both have demonstrated the true mark of leadershlp1 which is to take care of and show respect for those that work or serve under them. There is no other orga~ nization In the United States that'has had more of an Impact on the number of civil~ ian career opportunities transltionlng ser~ vlte members have today than the United Assodation. Every UA member should be proud in knowing that the work and train~ log we provide on a daily basis is also providing great career opp-ortunities for our military women and men.

The UA VIP program is currently operating nine programs on eight military Installations, serving all branches of the m!litarv. The UA Accelerateo Welder Training Program is offered at Camp Pendleton, California; Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington State; Fort Carson} Colorado; Fort Hood, Tex;,~; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and (!;amp Lejeune, North Carolina. The UA Accelerated HVACR Tra1nlng Program Is offered at Joint Base l.ewls-McChord, washington State and at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Lastly, the UA Accelerated Fire Sprinkler Fitter Training Program is offered at Fort 5111, Oklahoma. Roughly 350 servlca members graduate from the UA VIP program annually. To date, 1,626 transitioning service members and veterans have been tramed by the UA VIP program. All VIPs who successfully oomplete the program are afforded direct. entry Into a UA apprenticeship program of their choice and are guaranteed job placement upon arrival to their new UA · local union, The continuous success of the VIP• program would not be possible without the tremendous support from each and every UA member nationwide, as welt as UA signatory contractors.

After recently ottendlng the AWS Quallfi. cation and Certification Committee meeting, I thought an update on changes in the CWI program would be worthwhile to all ln~ted memb<>-s. A<rordlne: m the AWStimetine, in January 20181 a!l CWIPart A (fund am ental), and Part C (open Code Book)"'""'" will only be provided through Prometric testing een!!!rs. The Part A ••· ams lfu-'!U be closed b!lck. No notes or trainlhg material will be permitted in the

. computer testing area during that em~m, The Part C exam will bE "open book...,. can-· didates will only be permitted to toke their Code Book Into the tostlng areo. Cod• Sooks may have margin tabs and brief writren margin notes. but no loose paper notes will be permit'"t.ed. for those people who are comfortablo with computer-l>esed 10!octronle dQc>Jment•, !bare will olso 1>e an electronic copy of the Code Book available with • subject word search feature. It may

be helpful in locating test ques~on "key words"~~ !n the Code that would otherwise require a time consuming hard copy Index search to verify the answer. The Part B (practical) exam will still currently be administered at the CW! $emlnar training site, normally scheduled the day after the seminar kas been completed. AWS test supeNisors will still oversee the Part B exam.

(n addition to these changes, all current written exams for Cod-e Book endorsements are !lOW only provided through Prometric testing centers. This ls important for all CW!s wh[) may want to complete their nine-year ret:ertlfication process by taking a Code Book endorsement exam. This optio-nal method of meetlng nine-year recertification requirements may be satisfied by passing one of the Code Book endorsement exams at any time during your certification cycle, but prior to your expiration date. The newly offered AWS MT (Magnetic Particle Testing) and PT (liquid ~enetrant Testing) endors·ement exams. also meet nine-year recertification requirements. VA members who are currently certified in accordance with the UNs SNT-TC-lA Written Practice for MT and PT may want to consid€r these exams as a means of completing thelr nine-year CWI recertification.

Objection# I: In the Repoti Mr. Cheng intentionally omits the undeniable fact that on December II, 2017, I respectfully requested his consideration of the fact that I have irrefutably demonstrated possession of the fundamental knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the duties, functions and responsibilities of the 734 7 Plumber position, as well as the 7213 Plumber Supervisor I position, and the 7388 Utility Plumber position by virtue of status on the respective eligibility list(s). (See attached Supplemental Exhibits D, E, & F.)

Objection #2: As indicated in the Statement on Appeal and First Supplemental Response of December 18, 2017 (Exhibit C), the minimum qualification for an "apprenticeship which had been certified by the State of California" is FATALLY FLAWED because no such object exists. Nonetheless, the Report repeatedly refers to a non-existent "Statecertified" apprenticeship.

Objection #3: The Report absurdly suggests that an appeal could have been filed any sooner than December 21, 2017, which it could not have, because the FATAL FLAW was not discovered until after e-mail exchanges following the written rejection of the application.

Objection #4: In the Analysis section of the Report it is suggested that the demonstrated possession of the fundamental knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the duties, functions and responsibilities of the 734 7 Plumber position, as well as the 7213 Plumber Supervisor I position, and the 7388 Utility Plumber position, by virtue of status on the respective eligibility list(s) (see attached Supplemental Exhibits D, E, & F.), "was done in error." There was/is no error.

Objection #5: The Report misrepresents and attempts to reframe the primary issue on appeal as "Does [Appellant] meet the minimum qualifications ... ?" Not so. The primary

p. 000001

p. 000001

issue is the FATAL FLAW in the minimum qualification for the non-existent and erroneous assumption of a certified apprenticeship.

Argument

The Report demonstrates Mr. Cheng's confirmation bias, sought out through purported "subject matter experts", that a sprinkler fitter and a plumber apprenticeship are different crafts- of course they are. However, the irrefutable evidence which is blindly denied is the demonstrated possession of the fundamental knowledge, skills and abilities of a journeyman plumber are crystal clear in the status on multiple plumber-related eligibility lists. (See Supplemental Exhibits D, E, & F.)

Mr. Cheng fails to acknowledge and identify that pipefitting is pipefitting- the skill sets are identical. It is the knowledge that is, or may be, distinguishable.

The simple fact is the minimum qualification in the 6242 Plumbing Inspector announcement, CBT-6242-90 1868, it fatally flawed because there is no certified apprenticeship for any building trade: plumbing, sprinkler fitter, or otherwise.

Statement on Appeal

This is an appeal of the examination announcement for CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector ("Announcement").

Following the submission of a timely application, on December 4, 2017, by e-mail I received notice that the application was rejected" ... for the followiog reason(s):

No Apprenticeship or C36 License; According to the job announcement, the minimum qualifications require all applicants to have: 1) Completion of plumbing apprenticeship which has been certified bv the State ofCalifomia and three (3)years of journey-level experience in the trade OR 2) A plumbing contractor with a C-36 license issued by the State of California with experience in the trade totaling eight (8) years. AND 3) Possession of a valid Driver's License." (Emphasis added.) (See Exhibit A.)

On Monday, December 11, 2017, by e-mail I responded with a succinct factual explanation \vith exhibits showing my qualifications through the completion of a piping-industry apprenticeship approved by the State of California, along with decades of experience, and the request for a waiver (see Exhibit B); which, by e-mail that same day, was dismissively disregarded. (See Exhibit A.)

Upon further review and research of the minimum qualifications on the .Announcement, on Thursday, December 14, 2017, a phone discussion with the State of California's Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards ("DIR-DAS") confirmed the factual and legal discovery that, plumbing or otherwise, there is NO" . .. appreuticesh[v which has been certified bv the State o(Cal£f0mia . ... "

On Monday, December 18, 2017, by e-mail I responded via a FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE witb exhibits (see Exhibit C) explaining the fatal flaw in the .Announcement, the further grounds for why tbe exclusion from the Announcement examination \vas erroneous, as well as the request for an appeal- which, in effect, was refused on December 19,2017. (See Exhibit A.) .

Moreover, the immediate disclosure request for any public records was also refused. (See Exhibit A.)

Please expedite this matter as a calendar Agenda on the nearest date of the Civil Service Commission.

Hi Mr. Boreen,

As I am not part of DHR, but of GSA, I do not have access to the DHR letterhead.

Per your own supplemental information, you do not have the C~36 or a 5-year plumbing apprenticeship, but a sprinkle fitter apprenticeship. The

two are not the same and are not interchangeable. The reason you were admitted into the 7347 and 7213 was due to the substitutions for the

minimum qualifications allowed by those two classifications. The 6242 Plumbing Inspector has no such substitution, so your application was

therefore deemed unqualified for the position.

As for your Sunshine Request, Civil Service Examination dates are not under that purview. We cannot give out test dates that may not have even

been set.

Hi Dan,

Per exhibit 1, I did write "No apprenticeship." However, the minimum qualifications for this position are for a plumbing apprenticeship, written in

the same email and in the classification for the 6242 Plumbing Inspector class. I apologize for the vagueness, but the minimum qualification is still

a plumbing apprenticeship or a C-36 license.

Per exhibit 2, UA is a governing agency of many different trades (steamfitters, welding, plumbing, sprinkle fitters, HVAC). That does not mean all

the trades are the same and interchangeable.

EXHIBIT A p . 000007

EXHIBIT A Exhibit 4/5 shows your completion of a sprinkle fitting apprenticeship, which is not the same as a plumbing apprenticeship. p. 000008

Exhibits 6/7 shows you on the eligible list for the 7347 Plumber and the 7213 Plumber Supervisor, which have a different set of minimum

qualifications, as it is written "completion of a recognized five (5) -year Apprenticeship in the craft." Those two classifications do not specifically

ask for a plumbing apprenticeship like the 6242 Plumbing Inspector.

Per your inquiry about a "waiver," I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for. We cannot "waive" the minimum qualifications for a

position.

Re: Notice on CBT-2642-901868 ·Plumbing Inspector Announcement

Dear Mr. Cheng,

Respectfully, this is a written objection in .response to the notice dated December 4, 2017, wherein it is suggested that my application and experience did not meet the minimum qualifications for the CBT-2642-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement. (See Exhibit L)

For edification purposes, the governing body and parent of the entire piping industry labor union is the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada ("UA'') (emphasis added). (See Exhibit 2.)

The UA supports California's Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards ("DIR-DAS") by, and in conjunction with, training programs run through local joint training committees in specific cities or regions; in this instance, Sprinkler Fitters U-\ Local483 Joint Apprenticeship Committee. (See Exhibit 3.)

Exhibit 1 clearly indicates that the U_A's own language, ie., "and Sprinkler Fitting Industry'', is inclusive language of the piping industry as a whole including, but not limited to, plumbing, pipefitting, welding, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, air conditio'ning, service technicians, etc.

Indeed, at minimum I accomplished the qualifying U.A's Building Trades Journeyman status by fully satisfying the DIR-DAS' approved apprenticeship program. (See Exhibit 4.)

Indeed, I believe I provided a letter of verification and qualifying experience of UA Building Trades Journeyman status, as well as additional competency via the form of the application and supporting resume. (See Exhibit 5)

Also, as additional anecdotal evidence of the possession exceeding the specialized knowledge, skills and abilities to minimally qualify for the position at issue, attached as Exhibits 6 & 7 is the contemporaneous 7437 Plumber Eligibility List, and the prior notice of eligibility following the examination for the 7213 Plumber Supervisor I position, respectfully.

If the foregoing in not to your satisfaction, alternatively, I formally request a waiver, along with specific directions for the entire body of records and information on waivers pursuant to -the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, as well as the California Public Records Act.

Thank you for your public service, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Re: FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE to Notice on CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector Announcement

Dear I'vlr. Cheng,

For the record, I respectfully submit this FIRST SUPPLEi\TENTAL written objection following your e-mail message of December 11, 2017, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 8. Additionally, please take notice that this FIRST SUPPLE1IENT_,_-\L written objection incorporates by reference the prior written objection with Exhibits 1 through 7, inclusive, as though fully set forth herein.

It is undisputed that Exhibit 8 unilaterally concludes that fundamental piping-industry 1-..J"'JO\"'V'LEDGE, SKILLS & .. A.BILITIES ("KSA") is demonstrated through examination and status on the ELIGIBLE LIST for employment announcement(s) 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I, respectively, as follows:

• "C01HPLETION of a recognized FIVE (5)J'ear Apprenticeship i11 the cmji; .AND THREE (3) YEARS of e""}e1ima as a jollnN!)'J/1tll1 plumbe/' (see Exhibit 9: 734 7 Plumber announcement);

• "Completion of a jive (5) _year ruognized plumber's apprentireshtP program AI\JD Five (5) _years ~l verijlable J/Jork e-".:pnimre as a joumey-ln'el pllfmbd' (see Exhibit 10: 7213 Plumber Supervisor I announcement).

Contrarily, Exhibit 8 purports that 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumbet' Supervisor I are ". a different sd of mimimm; qtwlifimtiolls .. "because" ... [t]hose t!Jio dassifimtiOI!s do 11ot spaifiml/y askjOr a p!ll!nbing apprcrtfti<?ship !tke the 6242 P/;tmbing Inspector."

NOT SO!

Revie\.v of the CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement shows that the unfounded conclusion in Exhibit 8 is a distinction without a difference, and fatally flawed, to wit:

• "Completion qf pllfmbil!g appreuticeship JJI/Jit'h has bem miijled ~ the State of C'alifornirt ttnd three (3) )'em'J qf joum~y-level experimre in/he trade" (see Exhibit 11: 6242 Plumbing Inspector).

As a matter of law, there is no such thing as an:" . . appre!lticuhip JPhicb has bee11 certified &Ji the State of Cali)Omid'; nor has such an object ever existed. Accordingly, a brief phone call to California's Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards ("DIR-DAS") confirmed the fact there is ABSOLUTELY NO " ... appnmti&"eship il'hich ha.f bee11 certified 0' the State of Califomia", nor has there ever been one. (See Exhibit 13.) Thus, Exhibit 8's analysis, posture & unilateral assertion for a distinction of minimum qualifications, are fundamentally & fatally flawed.

The core question at issue is: \\rhether the intent of a "recognized apprenticeship program" [emphasis added] over a five (5) year duration specified for 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I constitute the equivalent of, and meet the intent for, the KSA requirement for a phantom "apprel!liaship 111hich has bem certified 0' tiN State ~f Califomia" [emphasis added]; and whether an approved & registered apprenticeship program, ostensibly by the DIR-DAS, meets the intent of a recognized apprenticeship program by virtue of its approval & registration by the State of California-- as a minimum qualification for the CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement?

Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Division 1, Chapter 2, Subchapter 1. ~-\pprenticeship, 8 CCR § 205 Definitions, subsection(s) (d) (f), the relevant and applicable definitions for a recognized apprenticeship that is approved with & registered by the State of California are as follows:

• (d) "Registration of an Apprentice Agreement" means the acceptance and recording thereof by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards which serves as evidence of the participation of the apprentice in a specific apprenticeship program.

EXHIBIT C

p.000011

p. 000011

EXHIBIT C

• (e) ''Apprenticeship Program" means a comprehensive _plan containing, among other things, apprenticeship standards, committee rules and regulations, related and supplemental instruction course outlines and policy statements for the effective administration of the apprenticeable occupation.

• (f) ''Apprenticeship Program Standards" means that written document containing among other things all the terms and conditions for the qualification, recruitment, selection, employment and training, working conditions, wages, employee benefits, and other compensation for apprentices and all other provisions and statements including attachments as required by the Labor Code and this Chapter which, when approved by the Chief DAS. shall constitute registration of such. and authority to conduct that program of-apprenticeship in the State of California. (Emphasis added.)

(See Exhibit 12.)

The irrefutable answer is: YES - an approved & recognized apprenticeship program can only exist following application to. and subsequent approval & registration by, the DIR-DAS: a quasi-judicial agency of the State of California authorized by the Legislature to exercise discretion within its limited subject matter jurisdiction to conduct hearings on the record, accept & deny evidence into the record, and issue judicially reviewable findings of fact on the merits of a claim or controversy at issue. (See Exhibit 3; and 3A herein.)

Thus, because there exists no such "apprenticeship JPhich has been certifi'ed fo; the State rif Cal(forttid' for any building trade, whatsoever; rather, there is legislatiVe authorization for approved & registered apprenticeship programs recognized by the State of California's DIR-DAS, the term" . .,recognized ... apprenticeship. as published for 7347 Plumber and 7213 Plumber Supervisor I are conclusive minimum qualification standards.

The other issue raised and unilaterally asserted by Exhibit 8 mandates a contextual citing and conflation, to wit: .. [C]ompletion rif a spri11kle[r] (sic) fitting apprmticeship ... " ", .. iJ 110t the J"ame ar a pl11mbing apprenticeship." "Thdt does

not mean all the trades are the same and interchangeable."

Once again, especially as applied to I<C..SA continuity of the piping system industry as a whole ... NOT SO!

To Keep It Simple [Sir], sprinkler fitting is pipefitting: a subset of the piping system industry requiring specialized KSA with respect to fire code requirements on systems composed of large. high-volume. highpressure distribution & discharge systems. principles and applications primarily in commercial & industrial applications, as well as inevitably in residences, that meet or exceed fire & plumbing codes that is complimented by a greater life-safety system, with additional code requirements, for the protection of life and property therein.

Plumbing is also a subset of the piping system industry, but requires only general KSA- on codes for lowpressure water. gas & waste distribution & discharge principles and applications primarily in residential structures, as well as inevitably i11 commercial & industrial buildings, where people habitat -- and eliminate -into a smaller piping system that complies with only plumbing codes; without any concern for fire codes, lifesafety codes, or the system(s) in place for the protection of life and property therein.

Sprinkler fitting is more complex than plumbing due to the layers of code compliance, so the apprenticeship was more rigorous -bUt the pipefitting skill sets obviously" are the same and interchangeable."

In conclusion, this written objection constitutes notice of a formal appeal against the fatally flawed CBT-6242-901868 Plumbing Inspector announcement, and a request for a hearing before the Civil Service Commission.
