And they are the reason my father still has a job and people still have electricity running through their houses right now. (My Father works for Dominion) Dominion tried to basically cut my fathers benefits in half and fire alot of people, but thanks to the IBEW he still has a job and still has his benefits.
No offense to your father, but why does he need a 1,000lb gorilla to protect his job? If he's stilled he can get another job. If lockheed wanted to fire me and everyone else here that I work with there's nothing to stop them, why should dominion be any different? The union's fly in the face of what a free market economy is and do nothing but undermine it.
