Election Results 2007

651 members voted in the June 6, 2007 Local 150 Elections.  The results are at: http://www.porcupinepress.com/_local150/ElectionResults2007.htm


Want to be reminded of how it used to be?  Look at the Job Calls page for the week beginning Monday, July 19, 1999.  Check out the number of calls, and the numbers out of work.  The list even included the number available.  How nice it was to be wanted.


I have added a new guestbook to the website.  You can either view or sign it by clicking on "Please Sign Guestbook" in the left margin of most pages.


Although some information may only be of interest to local 150 members, most of the site is of general electrical interest, and everyone is welcome.

The site is broken up into 5 areas. They are:

  1. Home
    The Home section of the web contains pages for the Local 150 Calendar, Feedback, Search, and Links to other web sites.
  2. Safety
    A section of the site has been set aside for safety issues and articles.
  3. Discussion
    The Discussion section gives the user a place to air their opinions, or to read those of others.
  4. Technical Info
    The Technical Info section offers the user several areas of technical information relevant to the electrical trade.  The only category in this section so far is Conduit Bending, and charts and tables related to conduit bending.  Sections will be added as I can develop them.
  5. News & Views
    The News & Views section provides news and opinion about local and international union issues, general information, and politics.

If you think there may be other areas of interest to users, please let me know.

I would like to publish articles by others on the site.  If you think you have an idea for an article, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dennis Lackey, Webmaster
Member, IBEW Local 150
