IBEW 915 RENEW

Here's a solid, brief, write up on what our officers in our Local and the allies we have within our community via the Central Labor Council have been working hard on. Shout out to Shyler Morgan and Jeff Marotta for being so photogenic.

Declaration of the INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS

Our cause is the cause of human justice, human rights, human security.

We refuse, and will always refuse, to condone or tolerate dictatorship or oppression of any kind.

We will find and expel from our midst any who might attempt to destroy, by subversion, all that we stand for.

This Brotherhood will continue to oppose communism, Na**sm or any other subversive "ism". Will support God, our Nation, our Union.

Apprentices and Journeyman alike, please remember our declaration before sharing corporate and anti-labor lies about increasing the minimum wage to something closer to livable. We have a duty to support the communities in which we live and work. We have a right to be angry about not getting our fair share of the pie when we bust our asses to earn a wage. But to be upset with the man or woman looking to earn something closer to a livable minimum wage is to have your anger pointed on the wrong direction. Why be upset about the man or woman looking to earn a whopping $31,200 per year before taxes? Why not be angry at the ultra-wealthy who earn over $1,000,000,000.00 per year based off of the backs of us in the working class? All of us on the working class have faced 50 years of wage stagnation while corporate profits continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Please remember the declaration of our Union before spreading falsehoods about low-wage earners and economics.

The Counterintuitive Workings of the Minimum Wage The benefits of a $15 minimum would greatly outweigh the costs.

Thank you for being here!

To all the Men and women out there who
Eat cold leftovers for lunch
Wear hard hats and steel toed boots all day
Have to be gone from their family
Work long hours outside in all weather
Sacrifice themselves for their family
Have a work ethic that doesn't quit
Work jobs they hate just to provide

I am with you. Our jobs aren't the cleanest, our language isn't the purest, but we sacrifice ourselves.

We give up so much to provide. We sacrifice our bodies, our wants always come last, our time is always limited. But we get the job done.

We are out here working for you family. We miss you.

Factory workers, oil Field, first responders, construction workers, farmers, truck drivers, railroaders, linemen, painters, welders, landscapers, etc.

Know your sacrifices are worth it.
