Texas Utility Co-Op Seals the Deal:
Workers Vote IBEW All the Way
Front office utility workers at Lamar Electric Cooperative
voted July 15 to join IBEW Local 20, Dallas-Forth Worth.
They join 14 utility line workers at the Paris, Texas, electric
co-op who voted to join Local 20 in a February 27 National Labor
Relations Board election. [See "Texas
Electric Co-op Votes for IBEW," IBEW Journal, May 2003.]
The front office group includes six clerical employees and two-meter
readers.
Lamar Electric utility workers were tired of the companys disrespectful
treatment and managements attitude of "its my way or the
highway," organizers said.
