PRESIDENT’S REMARKS | Update from Brian Pyle
MANHOURS UP: A STRONG YEAR SO FAR FOR BAY AREA SMACNA As summer comes to a close, I wanted to share a few thoughts on the strong year so far for our association and our industry. It’s encouraging to see the amount of work taking place throughout our area. Manhours are up approximately 15% compared to 2025 — the first notable increase we’ve seen in a few years. We all know our industry can change quickly, and there are always challenges on the horizon, but the increased activity is a positive sign. I’m hopeful we can carry that momentum through the remainder of the year and into 2027.

We also had a great turnout for our Bay Area Advisory Meeting in June. I appreciate everyone who took the time to attend and participate. Getting our members together in a setting like Yosemite gives us a chance to step away from our day-today responsibilities, have candid conversations about the issues affecting our businesses and spend time with the people who share many of the same challenges and opportunities. These relationships and conversations are an important part of what makes our association valuable. At the state level, we’ve had several important wins on the legislative front for our industry and contractors. California continues to be a complex environment in which to do business, making it especially important that we remain engaged and have a strong voice in Sacramento. The work of CAL SMACNA, our industry partners and our members helps ensure the interests of union sheet metal contractors are represented when decisions are being made that affect our businesses and our workforce. As we head into the fall, I’d encourage everyone to continue making time for our general membership meetings and other association events. I know how busy everyone is, particularly when work is strong, but staying engaged matters. The more participation we have from our contractors, the better we can represent the interests of our membership and our industry as a whole. Thank you for your continued support of the association, and I hope everyone has had an enjoyable and productive summer. I look forward to seeing many of you at an upcoming meeting or event!

LEGISLATIVE | Cookie Preferences
YOUR WEBSITE MIGHT BE A LAWSUIT TARGET If your company website has a search bar, a contact form, a chat widget, or Google Analytics (most do), you may be exposed to a wave of lawsuits targeting California businesses — including SMACNA members.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys are suing businesses across California under a 1960s-era wiretapping statute, the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). The argument? Common tracking tools, including Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, session-replay software, chat widgets and even basic site search bars may function as an illegal “pen register” or “trap and trace” device when they send visitor data to third parties like Google or Meta without the visitor’s prior consent. This is no longer a fringe issue. Filings under this section of CIPA have increased dramatically, with claims now making up a significant share of California privacy litigation. Nearly 4,000 California cases are reportedly on the books as of mid-2026. The money is real too: $5,000 per violation (or triple actual damages), plus attorneys’ fees, usually filed as class actions. Even major organizations are choosing to settle. The LA Times agreed to a $3.85 million settlement in June 2026 over three ad trackers, without admitting wrongdoing. Is This Actually Settled Law? Not Quite. The legal landscape remains unsettled. Some federal judges have allowed these claims to proceed, while state courts have more frequently dismissed them. A California Court of Appeal case that could help clarify whether CIPA applies to website tracking had oral argument scheduled for late August 2026. A California Assembly analysis has also described the statute as ripe for abuse.
PRACTICAL STEPS FOR YOUR COMPANY Audit your website. Get a full list from IT of every script, pixel, cookie and analytics tool running, and what data each sends. Add a real consent banner. It must block trackers until visitors click “Accept” — simply displaying a banner isn’t enough. Update your privacy policy. Spell out tracking tools, data collected and who receives the data. Link to it from every page. Keep consent records. Proof of when/how visitors consented is key defense if targeted. Review vendor contracts. Ensure compliance and indemnification language is included.
Meanwhile, CAL SMACNA is actively lobbying for SB 690 (Caballero), which would exempt certain ordinary business tracking activities from liability. The bill has not yet passed, meaning the potential risk remains while the courts and Legislature sort out where the law ultimately lands.
Loop in counsel now. Have an attorney review your site before a demand letter arrives.

EVENT RECAP | Intern Day
INTERNS GET HANDSON LOOK AT LIVERMORE TRAINING CENTER Nineteen interns from 14 contractor member firms gathered at the Livermore Training Center for this year’s Intern Training Day on June 24, spending the day networking, learning more about the sheet metal industry and getting an inside look at apprenticeship training. The day featured presentations from Duane Davies, Bay Area SMACNA board member and CEO/Chairman of NABCO; Sean O’Donoghue, Bay Area SMACNA’s Executive Vice President; and Nate Vennarucci, SMW Local 104’s Training Coordinator. Each speaker offered a different perspective on working in the sheet metal industry, giving interns valuable insight into what it takes to build a successful career. From the moment they arrived, the interns were eager to learn. They asked thoughtful questions, stayed actively engaged and took advantage of the chance to connect with industry professionals and each other.
12 | BAY AREA SMACNA Third Edition 2026
Before lunch, Vennarucci led a tour of the Training Center, highlighting the classrooms, training labs and state-of-theart equipment used to give apprentices hands-on, realworld experience. The group took a particular interest in areas like testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB), service and welding, asking plenty of questions along the way. It was a good day for interns to expand their knowledge, make new connections and see firsthand how the next generation of sheet metal professionals are trained. We look forward to following their progress in the years ahead!

GENERAL NEWS | NABCO’s New Building
NABCO’S NEXT CHAPTER: NEW HOME, NEW LOOK, CONTINUED GROWTH Since its founding in 1968, National Air Balance Company, Inc. (NABCO) has built its reputation as an independent TAB services contractor on exceptional personal service and lasting relationships, staying committed to responsive, reliable solutions tailored to each customer’s unique needs. As part of its long-term succession planning, NABCO recently relocated from Fremont to a new, centrally located headquarters in Pleasanton — bringing together employees from both the Fremont and Livermore offices under one roof. This shared workspace encourages greater collaboration, strengthens communication and enables the team to serve customers even more efficiently. The new office also brought the perfect opportunity for a brand refresh: an updated logo that honors NABCO’s trusted reputation with a clean, modern look, paired with a redesigned website showcasing the company’s projects, services and expertise. Together, the new office and brand refresh reflect more than a change of location; they mark the continued growth and evolution of the company while staying true to its core values, building trust through integrity, cultivating a strong intentional culture and a commitment to continuous growth. These values have defined NABCO for over five decades and will continue to guide the company as it enters its next chapter. Congratulations to the NABCO team on this exciting company milestone!

JATC UPDATE | Apprentice Contest
SMW LOCAL 104 APPRENTICES COMPETE AT WESTERN STATES APPRENTICESHIP CONTEST SMW Local 104 apprentices went head-to-head with peers from Arizona, California and Nevada at this year’s Western States Apprenticeship Contest, held May 28–29 at the Livermore JATC.
The annual competition gives apprentices a chance to put their skills, technical knowledge and craftsmanship on display — and this year’s event was bigger than ever, expanding for the first time to include Service and TAB (Testing, Adjusting and Balancing) apprentices alongside the traditional Sheet Metal categories to showcase the diverse disciplines of the trade.
challenging apprentices to demonstrate the precision and technical expertise needed to ensure system performance, efficiency and safety.
In total, the contest brought together 17 Sheet Metal contestants, nine TAB apprentices and nine Service apprentices, all competing in disciplines designed to mirror real-world demands on the job.
Beyond the hands-on events, all apprentices completed written exams covering codes, safety practices and technical knowledge. The Western States Apprenticeship Contest remains an important opportunity for apprentices to showcase their abilities, gain valuable experience and demonstrate the high level of training provided through union apprenticeship programs. It’s also a great reminder of what’s possible when apprentices, instructors and industry partners all commit to building the next generation of sheet metal professionals.
Sheet Metal apprentices were challenged in four specialized categories — Architectural, Industrial, HVAC and Project Management — each testing different facets of technical know-how and problem-solving under pressure. TAB apprentices participated in a five-station, handson competition designed to test their knowledge and proficiency in TAB measurements and procedures. Stations included fire and smoke damper inspections, duct pressure testing and other essential TAB skills,
