RUMOR: Out-of-state utility crews are being turned away from energy restoration here because they are non-union.
FACT: False. In fact, 550 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 400 have been working “around the clock” with Jersey Central Power & Light and Exelon’s Oyster Creek power plant in Lacey, president Ed Stroup said, as reported by The Press on Friday. Many of the workers supposedly turned away were from Alabama. In response, Alabama Power posted a message to its website that it had “not been turned away from anywhere” and that “our employees are proudly representing us in several states that have been affected, and have received a warm reception everywhere they’ve been.”
