ATTENTION ALL ELECTRICAL WORKERS!
Your Livelihood is at stake!
Organized Labor has recently launched a major effort to put you out of business
by creating legislature on the City, State & National Levels
which would make it impossible for you or your workers
to continue working on the electrical projects the way you have in the past.    

Philadelphia Bill 060959 has been defeated!

  A State Bill that can cause small contractors
to go out of business has been introduced.

The biggest problem that we will be facing
is the National Bill #HR 800

The union bosses are determined to pass the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.
If they succeed, every American will pay the price.
If passed, this dangerous bill would:

*Force working Americans to pay union dues under the threat of losing their jobs;

*Dramatically increase the number of bitter strikes that shut down businesses
and destroy jobs and ensure that even more plants are closed and more jobs
are shipped overseas and lost forever;

*Funnel hundreds of millions more forced-dues dollars to Big Labor
to pump into the campaign coffers of their radical, tax-and-spend politicians
like Hillary Clinton.

Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill would
greatly empower union bosses by allowing them to impose forced unionism through
card checks automatically.

Union-label Democrats have already shown their willingness
to attach forced-unionism legislation to must-pass bills like
appropriation bills and the creation of the Homeland Security Department.

This bill provides the unions with a much stronger Upper Hand
and ties your hands even more while the unions come into
your shop and make efforts to close your businesses down.
  It also imposes stiffer penalties from the NLRB against the employer
when the union intentionally salts your company with no intent to work
for you but only to be able to bring about trumped up charges against you from the NLRB.

The power that the local electrical union has accumulated over the years while we have stood by and watched has become enormous, this is only due to the fact that we (the majority) have allowed it to happen.  It is now time to stop them in their tracks!  It is obviously not enough for them to get all of the big work in the area, but that they want it all and they want us out of business.

The time for a contractor saying "I am too busy to go down to City Hall and fight", "You have enough guys fighting against it to deal with it or "It doesn't effect my company, I don't do work in the city" is now over. 

Unless we all make a grand stand to show them that we are in fact the Electrical Industry and that the Union is nothing more than a greedy closed shop hiring facility for the few companies who have already caved in to the terroristic tactics, we might as well close our doors today. 

This political union push has nothing to do with paying fair wages or forcing us to register our Journeymen or Apprentices, it is a Political Power Grab by the Unions, they make up 20% of the electrical industries workforce, who do you think makes up the rest of the work force....you know, the ones who are quietly standing by while the unions continue to monopolize the electrical industry.

Get involved, attend the next IECA Meeting!

Union Leader John Dougherty has lost the election for State Senate.  This is a major step toward reforming the current political processes in our area.
