About Me

Declaration of the International Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers. (pg ii of the IBEW Constitution)
Our cause is the cause of human justice, human rights, human security.

We refuse, and will always refuse, to condone or tolerate dictatorship or oppression of any kind.

We will find and expel from our midst any who might attempt to destroy, by subversion, all that we stand for.

This Brotherhood will continue to oppose communism, Nazism or any other subversive "ism". We will support our God, our Nation, Our Union!

My Interests

-To organize all workers in the entire electrical industry in the United States and Canada, including all those in public utilities and electrical manufacturing, into the local unions

-To Promote reasonable methods of work

-To cultivate feelings of friendship among those of our industry

-To settle all disputed between employers and employees by arbitration (if possible)

-To assist each other in sickness or distress

-To Secure employment

-To reduce the hours of daily labor

-To secure adequate pay for our work

-To seek a higher and higher standard of living

-To seek security for the individual

-And by legal and proper means to elevate the moral, intellectual and social conditions of our members, their families and dependents, in the interest of a higher standard of citizenship.

I'd like to meet:

A worker is fired or discriminated against because of trying to form a union every 23 minutes. This is a major reason the IBEW supports the Employee Free Choice Act. The AFL-CIO reports that about 57 million people say they would join a union if they had a chance, according to a survey from Peter D. Hart Research Associates. But employers routinely harass, intimidate and coerce workers who try to exercise their right to form a union at work.

Heroes:

Henry Miller
James T. Kelly
