I hope the Northeastern US voters remember this kind of crap from the allies of Liberal Democrats when it comes to voting.
But they probably won’t.
The unions could care less about the post-storm recovery. All they are thinking about is how much money they can make from it.
Makes me glad that as of July, I am NO LONGER a member of the IBEW.
If you aren’t happy...go to your utilities commission there in the state and whine about how something like this could happen. But don’t expect the commission to do anything except listen and grin. Priority in fixing something isn’t number one....being union and eventually fixing something is higher on the list of things to do.

Snopes hasn’t updated their page on this yet.
(I’m surprised they have this page up so quick)...wonder how fast they’ll add this info to that page...
If I were governor of say MA, CT, PA, or NY I would publicly sate all crews are welcome and Union members trying to interfere with non-Union crews will get arrested.
Yes, they put their evil insanity in writing
I'm certainly not surprised. Snopes is owned and operated by the left as a means of deceiving the American public. They maintain and spread the Left wing party line.
What does surprise me are the numbers of people who think that Snopes is a reliable source for fact checking and rumor control. My friends will frequently go to Snopes to check some urban legend floating around and are amazed to learn what they really do. Some of them keep going back to the well long after I have demonstrated to them that Snopes is a spreader of left wing propaganda and not a debunker of it.
Unions exist for one reason, and one reason only: to screw everyone not in the union.
It’s long past time for people to rise up and march on the offices of IBEW everywhere and burn them to the ground. It’s the least we can do to remedy this treasonous, indecent, anti-American, vile behavior that has probably led to many deaths and untold misery. Down with IBEW!
If I did the math right, that is 29.31% of their hourly (whatever that is) plus $9.75 an hour just in union demands before any taxes. No wonder their “leadership” likes it like that.
Once again, regular Americans from other parts of the country have to rescue and bail out demonrats, the unions and their public sector failures.
The union's have screwed up almost everything they come in contact with. Their efforts during WWII against the country were a real eye opener for me. Their alliance with the communist party was another eye opener.
We are an amazing country to have been able to survive such determined efforts to overthrow our Constitutional republic for this long.
But, after studying the record, I don't see how we'll ever be a great country as long as the unions have any influence. We succeed in spite of them, not because of them.
However, the Chinese owe "our" unions for much of their success, for our having sent so much of our manufacturing and industrial base to them.

They have the backing for the corrupt liberal progressives in Government, who believe that people should be at the mercy of the politicians and their allies.
RATS eating their own...
Let’s not forget how proud the union leadership was when they took credit for putting Eastern Airlines out of business.
How many jobs did that cost union members?
Unions once did some good, but those days are long gone. Today, especially “government worker” unions are nothing more than legalized organized criminal enterprises, designed to fleece the taxpayer.

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Wealth of nations, Book I, Ch 10
