What is right-to-work and why is

it important in the process to bring

jobs to New Mexico?

Right-to-work asserts that every

individual must have the right, but

must not be compelled to join a

labor union. In other words, it

affirms the right of every American

to work for a living without being

compelled to belong to a union. It is

important because without a New

Mexico right-to-work law we are at a

major disadvantage to bring jobs to

New Mexico.

I have spoken personally to site

selection specialists who say that

between 40 and 60 percent of all

companies that are relocating will

not consider a non-right-to-work

State. Texas, Arizona, Utah and

Oklahoma are all right-to-work States

and are creating jobs while we lose

them. States that are right-to-work

have seen increases in private sector

union and non-union jobs.

Right-to-work does not outlaw

unions or bargaining and does not

restrict anyone from joining a union.

Unions are still allowed to participate

in politics and they can collect dues

from members. However, being a

right-to-work state will help create

new jobs and spur economic devel-

opment. It will also create jobs so our

children can stay in New Mexico and

raise their families here. The map below shows right-to-

work states as shaded and the stats

below show the disadvantages that non-right-to-work states face. I am not against unions, I am for jobs. I believe good jobs will solve a plethora of issues that New Mexico faces. We need to pave the way for more jobs for all by becoming a right-to-work state. Please take a few minutes to review the stats below and I think you will see a trend.

work are higher in 2012(1): 1. Texas RTW 38,755 2. Oklahoma RTW 36,845 3. Arizona RTW 32,946 4. New Mexico 32,779

Testimony on Right-to-work: “After further discussion with our clients, somewhere around 50% want to retain Right-to-work as a pass/fail criteria.”, Mark Sweeney, Missouri State Senate 2/10/2011.

“Right-to-work is vitally important,” says Mark Vitner, Vice-President and Senior Economist for Wachovia, “Right-to-work status enables the companies to have equal leverage [with] the unions.”

“Businesses are increasingly considering Right-to-work as a key competitive criterion when considering sites for new growth and investment. Almost three-fifths (69.5%) of business executives specify Right-to-work as a very important or important factor in site selection.”, the Annual Corporate Survey published by Area Development Magazine.

“Approximately 50% of our clients … do not want to consider locations unless they are in right-to-work states”, A vice-president of Fantus.

Oklahoma, an Economic Leader

“Since January 2011, we’ve created over 62,400 new net jobs, giving us the fourth highest growth rate in the United States. Unemployment in Oklahoma has been reduced by 30 percent, from 7% in 2010 to an enviable 5.1% today, one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Our median household income rose in 2011 by $4,000 – placing Oklahoma at No. 1 in the country.” Governor Mary Fallin,

Indiana, Record Year The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC),“In 2012 it secured job commitments from 256 Companies from across the country and around the world that project to create more than 27,600 new jobs, an increase from 19,080 in 2011 and more than any other year on record.”

Governor Mitch Daniels, “…I may have underestimated the impact, we have had a flood of calls and inquiries, starting literally the day I signed the bill. We began hearing from companies we had not heard from. We’re keeping a list, because this may be important infor-mation for experts in the site selection business at some point.”

Since January of 2009, right-to-work

states have seen an increase of 1,508,000

jobs, while non-right-to-work states have

seen a decrease of 239,000 jobs. It should

be no wonder why Americans are in favor

of right-to-work 79% to 19%.

Thank you for taking the time to read

about right-to-work as I believe it is an

extremely important issue. Finally, keep in

mind that Americans are in favor of right-

to-work 79% to 19%. It is the right path

for the state of New Mexico and it will

ensure our ability to increase the number

of union and non-union jobs. This will

allow our children to stay in New Mexico

and raise their families here.

UNM SA&P

Metal Shop – Brent Callahan

José Hernandez will be finishing up

the metal shop located on the UNM

Campus late October as UNM has

made several changes. This is a unique

project as South West Glass will be

donating a majority of the material

and labor for this project.

Premier

Distributing

Keg Cooler – Joel Loes

In July, Superintendent Art

Candelaria wrapped up a design-build

project for Premier Distributing

Company that created office space

and converted an existing space into a

34°F refrigerated storage room for

chilling kegs. Klinger self-performed

most of the scope of this project:

make the project a success:

Construction, Coronado Decorating,

JTC Inc and Piñon Mechanical.

International

School Phase 7 – Joel Loes

Partnered with Dekker/Perich/

Sabatini and Mesa del Sol, Klinger

design-built the seventh expansion at

office space. The project completed in

late July ahead of the school year.

South West

Louisiana – Joel Loes

Klinger completed the exterior

modernization of this Dairy Queen

store in June, making it one of the

first in the southwest to feature the

latest design elements including a

restucco, new Alpolic metal panels

and an LED wrapped metal eyebrow.

The store remained in operation

during the entirety of the project

with the exception of two days at the

the parking lot. Communication was

critical on this project to ensure the

DQ staff knew what to expect from

Klinger and that their customers

were able to safely navigate the site

on their way to the cool treats!

Assisted

Living – Mark Maestas

El Castillo project is finally winding

down and the majority of work will

wrap up by the end of October. It has

actually been three projects with the

Memory care facility 1st, the Health

care building 2nd and the interior

remodel 3rd. The owner has added a

Restaurant level Cantina in the last

month and that will be the only on

going construction being done with a

reduced crew,

Carson and crew will tell you it’s

been a challenging project to say the

least. A daily struggle to find enough

parking for material deliveries and

various craftsmen in addition to the

facility staying in business. Vicente

done a great job and has a knack to

deal with spontaneous issues that

come up on a daily business.

Nago Chaparro, John Patterson and

Zack Haynes have also been

instrumental in this unique effort.

After driving more than 60,000 miles

back and forth to this job none of

these men have ever complained.

Many people have contributed to

the El Castillo project with Klinger and

all are to be congradulated for their

team spirit. The owner says they’ll

miss Klinger and have made many

friends but they will also be glad to be

done as they as well have had to

make many sacrifices. Carson has kept

a handle on this extremely difficult

project. Way to go team.

Walgreens

planning and preparation of the entire

project team this location was

constructed in record time.

Dion’s rewarded all members of

the project team with a grand opening

party that took place on September 9th

with a packed house. The prior

Phase IV:

Site Renovations The final phase of Project

Humane, Phase IV Site Renovation, is

nearing completion. Jason Tabbert,

Juan Hernandez, Hernan Gamboa,

Matt Martinez and Jessie McGuinness

have all worked hard to complete

this final phase of the two year

master planned project. Site

drainage, sidewalks, ramps, bubbling

rocks and landscaping will complete

the work. This will provide shaded,

meet-and-greet areas, as well as

seating for visitors and staff. The park

will be connected to the campus

walking path system and will serve as

the nexus of the campus. This last

phase of the project was completed

by the end of September 2014.

Santa Fe

Animal Shelter &

Humane Society

Training Center Construction of the new Animal

Training Center began August 4,

2014. The 6,000 SF clinic will house

indoor and outdoor kennels, training

areas and employee areas. This

building cluster will be located on the

existing SFASHS campus. Trey Jordan

Central Retail

Shopping Center – Mark Maestas

In late July, Klinger broke ground

on a Retail Shopping Center for our

repeat client, Santosh Mody. The

project consists of four shell retail

buildings and is located near the

corner of Central and San Mateo. We

anticipate construction will be

complete by the middle of December.

We are hoping to obtain more work

from future tenants. Jason Tabbert is

leading the way along with Angel

Ramirez, Steven Vogel, Greg Guillen,

Felix Ruiz, Matthew Martinez and Juan

Mirada. Pelletier, Chavez Concrete,

TLC and Northridge Electric are doing

a great job. Keep up the good work!

Presbyterian

Hospital Projects – Brent Callahan

Our work continues inside PHS on

a variety of small projects. José

Hernandez and team are scheduled to

finish up the Tricore Lab Blood Bank

the end of 2014, as Sandia National

Labs and PHS are continually making

changes. This project is located in the

main hospital at PHS downtown. This

particular project is for the Global

Threat Reduction Initiative contracted

directly through Sandia National Labs,

as PHS has a Nuclear Irradiator which

regulations. Presbyterian selected

Klinger to complete this scope of

work due to its complexity and

constraints as the Blood Bank must

remain 100% operational during the

OGB Millwork, Fairway, Southwest

Glass, Specialty Electric, Sound &

Signal of New Mexico and HEI.

Projects Under Construction

Arizona News – Jim Werkmeister

With the dramatic slowdown at

Intel, Klinger is actively trying to

market itself as a trades contractor in

the general market. It s been a slow

start, but we are trying to cultivate

contacts and relationships throughout

the valley, with an emphasis on

industrial work.

There are still some projects at the

Intel sites, but they are relatively small

in nature.

Rio Rancho News – Joe Reed

While the plant is still in full

production mode, Klinger has been

able to keep a small core of the crews

busy. Crews are busy working on the

HRW Phase 4 project, testing /

flushing the piping and getting ready

to start tying in the seven compressors

to complete the project. Thanks to the

Intel crews for keeping this project

moving along.

Electrical

Upgrades – Joel Loes

Klinger’s electrical crew led by

Superintendent Byron Gore and

Foreman Jeff Kardas are completing

the five electrical room gear upgrade

project at Santa Fe Place Mall this fall.

As of October, all pre-facilitation of

the project is complete including

mounting of all new raceway and

grounding. When the gear arrives,

staff will set up five major electrical

shutdowns while all main switchgear

and 82 meters will be replaced.

Keep up the good work. The

completion for the entire project is

slated for early February of 2015.

The Boeing

Company TI – Paula Hayden

After Klinger completed the

area for the Boeing Company in July

2014, Klinger was awarded the next

phase, Northside Remodel. This work

will be the addition of offices, new

break area and a general refresh of

the surrounding areas. Construction

began on September 24, 2014. This is

the fourth project Klinger will com-

plete for the Boeing Company. We

are pleased to have the opportunity

to work in the facility again.

Antonio Trujillo is supervising this

project. Our key subcontractors are

Silverado Enterprises, Anderson Air,

Standard Automatic Fire, Pelletier

Los Alamos Nature Center

– Alan White

The Nature Center project

continues to move ahead and make

solid forward progress. Open

communication between the project

team of Los Alamos County, future

building occupants PEEC (Pajarito

Environmental Education Center),

Mullen Heller Architecture,

subcontractors and Klinger have

helped to make a challenging design-

build project move along well. The

history of the site and its unknown

debris content below the building pad

turned out to be not so challenging.

The mixture of broken concrete,

asphalt and pipe material was

processed efficiently by Universal

Constructors, leaving us with a solid

building pad. The building is currently

framed and roughed in with interior

and exterior finishes just beginning.

With the building framing now

complete its unique shape shows that

this is no ordinary building. The west

exterior wall is made up of

approximately 90% glazing affording

spectacular views of Pajarito

Mountain and the surrounding

canyon & skies. The pitched roof on

the top will accommodate the

installation of future photovoltaic

panels, while the three highest roof

sections drain toward the front of the

building in an effort to catch

rainwater in the 2500 gallon

underground cistern. The goal is for

this building to attain a LEED Silver

certification which should happen

with the continued efforts of the

project team. Thanks for outstanding

work performed by subcontractors

Lone Sun Builders, Leyba Building

Contractor, Mechanical Concepts,

Hanna Plumbing and Mosher

Enterprises and Klinger team of Eli

Gonzalez, Jr., Rodi Peña, Francisco

Vasquez all led by Joe Aguirre. Let’s

keep up the great work this Fall!

Los Alamos Aquatic Center HVAC

Upgrade – Alan White

On August 18th, Klinger was

handed the keys to the Los Alamos

Aquatic Center to commence the

complete replacement of the HVAC

system. Immediately upon arrival

fixtures were protected and

architectural, mechanical and

electrical systems had begun to be

removed. The nearly 30-year-old

building’s mechanical system was past

its prime and the inefficient system

had to be replaced. With nearly a

third of the project timeline behind us

all demolition is complete and the

new equipment is now being

installed. Great work by

Superintendent Robert Garber and

subcontractors National Heating and

Ventilating and B&D Industries for

pushing the schedule on this intense

ten-week project.

Tricore Labs – Brent Callahan

José Hernandez and team will be

installing a new egress door from the

lower level into the parking garage.

Tricore has been a repeat customer

for several years and our work will

continue within their facility as they

usually have a couple of small projects

come up each month.

Violet Crown Theater & Restaurant

– Mark Maestas

In April, Klinger broke ground on

the Violet Crown Movie Theater and

Restaurant located in the city of Santa

Fe’s Railyard district between Flying

Star Restaurant and Santa Fe Clay.

Violet Crown Theater is a 34,000 SF,

11-theater design-assist project. Eight

of the movie theaters are located

below ground level and three more

theaters along with a restaurant are

located on the ground level.

Excavation and concrete

placement has been a challenge due

to all the rain we received for our

monsoon season. In addition, there is

virtually no laydown area and our

excavation is 25’ deep and is within

Projects Under Construction

15’ of Santa Fe Clay and only 15’ from

railroad tracks.

Over 22,000 CY of soil has been

removed for construction. We have

completed all of the lower level steel

and all structural concrete work. For

the next month we will be erecting

structural steel and framing both

exterior and interior walls. We are

pushing hard to beat the cold

Santa Fe Winter!

Last month we were also awarded

Alcaldesa Street Improvement Project.

to complete the new Alcaldesa Street

along with utilities and landscaping.

We anticipate construction will be

complete by the end of February

2015. Keep up the great work Rob
