Texas Utility Co-Op Seals the Deal:
Workers Vote IBEW All the Way

Front office utility workers at Lamar Electric Cooperative voted July 15 to join IBEW Local 20, Dallas-Forth Worth.

They join 14 utility line workers at the Paris, Texas, electric co-op who voted to join Local 20 in a February 27 National Labor Relations Board election. [See "Texas Electric Co-op Votes for IBEW," IBEW Journal, May 2003.]

The front office group includes six clerical employees and two-meter readers.

Lamar Electric utility workers were tired of the companys disrespectful treatment and managements attitude of "its my way or the highway," organizers said.
