Investment Commitment
Meetings with Company
On September 23, we held
one of our semi-annual Invest-
ment Commitment Meetings
with the Company. Much of the
information is considered “con-
fidential”, so I will try to give
you an overview.
On the Steel side, invest-
ments are continuing through
2010. Some of these are #5 Tube
Mill Furnace Regenerative
Burners, a Billet Conditioning
Quench Tank at Faircrest, the
Ladle Crane Weighting System
at Harrison, and investment in
Scrap Preparation (Blue Sky
Project).
For 2011, the Company stat-
ed that the “economy and market
demand will have a significant
impact on Capital Investments.”
That being said, two projects
underway are the razing of
Buildings on Dueber Avenue for
Harrison lay down yards and the
Intermediate Finishing Line
(IFL) at Gambrinus Steel.
YOU HAVE A VOICE. MAKE IT HEARD.
2 October 2010
The IFL is projected to take
16 to 24 months for completion.
It will include a Straightener,
Shot Blast, NDT, Grinders, Ma-
gna-Glo, Cut-Off Saws, Inspec-
tion, and Banding Station. It is
also projected to require 30% to
45% less labor (both hourly and
salary).
Other projects, although not
approved yet, are an In-Line
Forge (for large rounds) at the
Faircrest Rolling Mill and
“Next-Generation Material
Movement” (some of you may
have seen the new Straddle
truck).
For the Bearing plant, pro-
jected investment for 2011
dwarfs the expenditures in 2010.
Some of the major allocations
are LVR Grinder and Cold
Former Upgrades and Inch
Header Rebuild.
We raised issues surround-
ing work at TMMC (Cold
Room). At this writing, we are
awaiting answers to our inquiry.
There is planned investment in
this area also.
Retiree health care
changes after Jan. 1, 2011
If you are planning to retire
on or after January 1, 2011, there
will be some changes to the re-
tiree health care for those that
are not Medicare-eligible (pre-
age 65). You will find this infor-
mation in the chart on Page 3.

 Labor is leading the charge!
We must elect friends of working people
By Keith Strobelt, Chairman
Rapid Response Committee
In recent articles, I’ve men-
tioned that Rapid Response is a
non-partisan, grass-roots, fact-
finding information tool of the
union.
However, there are times
when this committee takes more
of a legislative role, times when
our friends of labor may seek our
help during an election year.
Seeing as how our elected of-
ficials are the architects of the
pieces of legislation that Rapid
Response reports on, this alli-
ance can not be avoided.
Now, 2010 is an off-year
election and once again, labor,
headed by the United Steelwork-
ers, is leading the charge in
keeping our friends of labor in
their respective offices.
September has been a pro-
ductive month for Rapid Re-
sponse and Legislative commit-
tees. We started with many visi-
bilities early in the year, such as
parades, rallies, press confer-
ences and county fairs.
A lot of our members even
found themselves in television
commercial spots for John Boc-
cieri throughout the summer
months.
Boccieri booth at
Stark County Fair
Leading into the Labor Day
weekend, many of our members
manned the John Boccieri booth
at the Stark County Fair. It was a
very interesting week, to say the
least. Passers-by expressing
their support, were in abun-
dance, and thanked the Steel-
workers for the good work
they’re doing.
There was even a mid-week
visit from CNN. They inter-
viewed Congressman Boccieri
and filmed some of our members
as they ran the campaign booth.

ment.
United Steelworkers
Legislative Conference
Right after Labor Day, com-
mittee members were off to Co-
lumbus to attend the United
Steelworkers Legislative Con-
ference.
During our three-day stay,
we attended many seminars and
workshops that taught us meth-
ods and different means of get-
ting the message out, emphasiz-
ing the urgency of this statewide
election.
Ohio’s top five, from Gover-
nor Strickland to candidate for

were our high energy guest
speakers motivating us to work
even harder.
I might add that Governor
Strickland was in rare form. The
knowledge we brought back

Wrecking ball takes down la
The end of an era that started in 1901
By Chris Tunney
Associate Editor
On a bright, clear, sunny,
pre-autumn day, the dark shad-
ows of progress cast their eerie
spell over the iconic buildings
and fading memories of our be-
loved Canton Bearing Plant.
These stoic buildings have
shaped the landscape of the
Southwest side of our town.
Now, during the Fall of
2010, the wrecking ball is
changing the “footprint” of the
Harrison Steel Plant, as the
bearing plant structures of the
late 19th century that housed so
many dedicated, loyal, and hard-
working brothers and sisters,
will be no more.
Then, our bearing factory
faced a shutdown announced in
May, 2004, when the Company
said it would close the Canton
Industrial Bearing Complex,

Bearing, Gambrinus Roller and
Gambrinus Bearing Plants.

In 1901, the Timken’s relo-
cated the company to Canton,
Ohio, where the firm became
known as the Timken Roller
Bearing Company. By 1909, the
year Henry Timken died, the
company was turning out over
850,000 bearings a year and it
employed about 1,200 people.
The Company’s bearings be-

ly as the automotive industry

cades of the 20th century. In
1917, the Timken Company con-
structed its first steel mill to pro-
vide the firm with a steady sup-
ply of steel to manufacture its
products.
Beginning in the 1920s, the
company increasingly began to
use its bearings in the manufac-
ture of agricultural and mining
equipment, and during World
War II, began providing the
United States military with
bearings. The market for
Timken bearings and steel con-
tinued to expand quickly
throughout the 1920s.
Timken bearings found their
way into the railroad industry in
1923, when bearings, specially
designed by Timken, were tested
first on an inter-city streetcar
running between Canton and
Cleveland, and later that year in
a boxcar on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad.
By 1926, other railroads rec-
ognized that the tapered bear-
ings would allow the speed of
their trains to increase. In spite
of the Depression, Timken con-
tinued to grow steadily through
the 1930s.
During the early 1930s the
company developed bearings for
propeller drive-shafts, thereby
expanding its customer base to
include shipbuilders, including
the U.S. Navy. The onset of
World War II provided the mo-
mentum for Timken’s continued
growth in the 1940s. During the
war, the company’s output more
than doubled its previous peak.
In 1954 Timken introduced the
8 October 2010
“AP” bearing, an innovation
that would have a great impact
on the railroad industry. The
“AP” was a pre-assembled, lu-
bricated, self-contained bearing
that was inexpensive and easily
integrated into nearly any type
of railroad car.
Bearings such as these will no longer be
made in Canton after the shutdown of the
Canton Bearing Plant.
The new bearing was credit-
ed with dramatically reducing
the number of freight car set-
outs. Railroads continued to
grow in importance as custom-
ers during this period.
By 1968, more than 90 per-
cent of the new freight cars be-
ing built used tapered roller
bearings, and more than 60 per-
cent of those bearings were
made by Timken. By 1971, ta-
pered roller bearings and rock
bits accounted for about 80 per-
cent of Timken’s revenue that
year, with specialty steels gener-
ating the rest of the company’s
sales.
At that time, about 35 differ-
ent types of roller bearings were
being produced in over 11,000
sizes at its facilities. Production
was hurt in 1970 by strikes at
General Motors and in the truck-
ing industry, however, by 1972;
sales were once again strong in
the automotive industry, which,
as a whole, was the purchaser of
nearly half of the bearings sold.
Timken introduced the UNI-
PAC bearing in 1979. These pre-
lubricated and pre-adjusted
bearings made assembly opera-
tions much easier for vehicle,
industrial machinery, and con-
struction equipment manufac-
turers.
As the 1980s began, Timken
was still the dominant force in
the American bearing industry,
controlling about 25 percent of
the U.S. bearings market, and 75
percent of the market for tapered
roller bearings.
So what does the future hold
for us and the next generation of
workers? Just faded memories,
old photos, leveled buildings,
and our skilled manufacturing
jobs shipped overseas?
I hope not, as this should be a
wakeup call for all of us. Get in-
volved, educate yourselves, and
share your knowledge with oth-
ers.
Most importantly, let’s exer-
cise our right to vote; holding
our elected officials account-
able for their actions and prom-
ises. They work for us; the peo-
ple. Let’s all try to make the fu-
ture a brighter one for our sons
and daughters. That should be
our legacy.

SOAR NOTES
Social Security System
celebrates 75 years
By Jim Reed
A seminar was held August
27 at the Mayfield Center to cel-
ebrate 75 years of Social Securi-
ty.
Speakers included Con-
gressman John Boccieri and Lt.
Governor Lee Fisher. Dan Fonte
was moderator with about 100 in
attendance.
Congressman Boccieri said
that Social Security is some-
thing we worked for, paid into,
and that we deserve. It is not an
entitlement program. “We don’t
need Wall Street to tell us we
don’t deserve it,” Boccieri stat-
ed.
Wall Street wants to priva-
tize Social Security, and submit
a voucher program for you to see
a doctor. Lt. Governor Lee Fish-
er, a candidate for U.S. Senate,
said that Social Security has
never missed a payment in the 75
years, and that the “just say no
crowd” in Washington, would
destroy Social Security.
“If you’re not angry, you’re
not paying attention,” he stated.

Social Security and Medi-
care are two of our nation’s suc-
cess stories. Social Security has
helped generations of American
retirees with dignity and Medi-
care has helped reduce senior
poverty.
More than one-third of all
people 65 and older, rely on So-
cial Security for 90% or more of
their income. Social Security
provides a safety net for more
than 53 million Americans, in-
cluding retirees, the disabled,
children and families. It also
provides life insurance and dis-
ability insurance protection for
millions of Americans.
About 160 million people
contribute to Social Security
through payroll taxes. About 53
million people receive monthly
Social Security benefits. With-
out Social Security, nearly half
of Americans, age 65 and older,
would live in poverty.
The average monthly Social
Security Benefit:
Retired worker - $1,164
Retired couple - $1,892
Disabled worker - $1,064
Widow or Widower - $1,123
Social Security taxes are
paid on earnings up to $106,800.
The current payroll tax rate is
6.2% for workers, which is
matched by employers.
Most people need 40 credits
(10 years of work) to qualify for
benefits.
While the privileged may be
fortunate to be setting aside for
their retirement, the fact re-
mains that the majority of to-
day’s families are struggling as
the result of high unemploy-
ment, stagnant wages, and shift
from traditional pensions to
401(k) plans.
In an interview with Norm
Wernet, State Director of the Al-
liance for Retired Americans,
following the seminar, he relat-
ed to me the fact that his father
died when he was 12 years old.
His mother passed away not long
after. He and his sister received
Social Security benefits to help
them. Norm graduated from
high school, then college. He
said Social Security helped him
get an education.
Mr. Wernet had presented
Congressman Boccieri with a
petition from local members
urging that Social Security be
protected and preserved for pos-
terity.
AT OUR SOAR MEETING
SOAR members from around
the state will gather in Colum-
bus for the 15th Annual SOAR
Conference, to be held at the Ra-
mada Plaza on Monday, October
11.
The Alliance for Retired
Americans has issued a petition
for the removal of Sen. Alan
Simpson from the Federal Fiscal
Responsibility Commission.
His remarks concerning So-
cial Security and those receiving
it, showed an attitude of disre-
October 2010
spect for us and our lives of
work. He stated that, “Social Se-
curity is like a milk cow with
310 million tits, and that those
of us living beyond our working
years, are nothing but “greedy
geezers” who live in gated com-
munities and drive their Lexus
to the Perkins Restaurant to get
the AARP discount”.
If we are lower-income
Americans, we are the “lesser
people of society.” This is truly
an attitude that does not believe
in the common good that Social
Security provides. This petition
was signed by SOAR members
at our recent meeting.
I don’t know any of my
friends that live in a gated com-
munity and drive a Lexus. Of
course, they weren’t politicians
living in Washington.

Additional $50,000 life insurance
available now for low premiums
Must apply during Fall benefit election period
By Ron Roberts
Associate Editor
During bargaining for the
2009 Basic Labor Agreement,
the Negotiating Committee se-
cured an additional $50,000 life
insurance benefit. This insur-
ance is in addition to the Compa-
ny provided life insurance and is
available for a monthly premium
deducted directly from your pay-
check.
Golden Lodge members who
did not elect this benefit in 2009,
or at their recall from layoff,
have the opportunity to acquire
this additional life insurance
during the annual benefit elec-
tion period. This period usually
begins in November when pa-
perwork is mailed to you about
all your insurance choices.
If you want this additional
life insurance, you will be re-
quired to provide a Statement of
Health Form. This form requires
you to provide a brief medical
history and your personal physi-
cian contact information.
In addition, MetLife requires
you to sign an Authorization for
release of all your medical infor-
mation, records and health care
provider health data including
information about alcohol or
drug abuse.
They may also ask for a med-
ical examination.This informa-
tion is used to determine your
insurability.
