Brothers and Sisters,
We recently received a request from International President Kenneth Cooper to help track IBEW members who are currently serving in elected or appointed public service positions. To help the International Office understand the depth of public service among our members, we have created a brief form. If this applies to you, please complete it easily online at: https://forms.gle/fgqSHua4muyksdSv7.
Brothers and Sisters,
This is a final reminder that there are only 4 continuing education classes remaining through the Local 488 IBEW-NECA JATC this year.
If you still need to complete your continuing education requirement, please act now to ensure you do not miss one of the last course offerings.
The final available dates are:
safetyandhealthmagazine.com covers a new California law requiring automated external defibrillators at electrical utility worksites championed by IBEW members following the death of a utility worker who could not be reached by emergency services in time.
ibew.org reports Nashville Local 429 is staffing a major Modular Power Systems prefabrication facility in Mount Juliet Tennessee where up to 1400 IBEW electricians will build electrical components for data centers and cell towers across the eastern US.
