IBEW Face-to-Face Organizing


In an age of smartphones, email and the Internet, members of IBEW local unions in the Pacific Northwest are going back to the basics to spread the union's message. They're using good, old-fashioned, in-person communication to reach out to their fellow union members and future union members.

IBEW LU 5 member myself.

just recieved my 25 yr service pin this week.

good strategy update for the IO to consider along with social media like facebook.

increase of organized labor ranks are what the repugs fear more than anything on the face of the planet. labor is the backbone of the dem/progressive party. the boots on the ground efforts leading up to elections at all levels can't be replicated by repugs. they don't even come close.

got word through my business agent requesting my protest services for this coming monday afternoon in altoona to hit repug asshole tom corbett on a number of issues. i'l be connecting with fellow union members from my LU as well as other unions.

we have the tools.

we have the boots.

great weapons to kick some hypocritical repug asses.
