There was another thread regarding the IBEW and out of state
My dad was a 40 year employee at JCP&l. He was a lineman and he did suplenent our lives by working in every climate you can imagine; heat waves, blizzard’s, nor easterners. He would go to work in the middle of the evening after a days regular scheduled work, because the phone rang. If he left that evening, he usually didn’t come home until the end of the next day. He lived for overtime. Because of his hard work and always taking that call to go in when climate is worst, he was compensated double time & yes sometimes tripple time. My dad also left for weeks on time to aid in crisis of other states needing lineman work sent by JCP&L.
The ibew of JCPL is not a ibew that, per se, does construction. It a “shop union “.
The last strike by JCP&l in 2004 or was ineffective by labor.
Jcpl is not the sort of union as strong as ibew 3 or ibew itself.
They should accept all help, I grew up in the Bayshore area and the pictures my ma is showing of the neigberhood is breathtakingly amazingly & sadining all at once.
My dad retired a couple years ago as a company Guy, he had the right idea to by a gigantic generator for the house to power the necessities for 96 hours. They have no power and they are on there way here to GA to get be comfortable. No damage to their home, but the place unopperable.
Pardon the grammar, mis-spelling and fractured verbiage, wrote this on my phone.
