I' ve seen some of the local diners putting food out for the folks that live there or for perhaps emergency workers. That is what makes this country great. Something big happens and the next thing you know we are all neighbors. The greatness of humanity. Now if the clowns in DC could wake up and take notice, well......

This is unbelievable. IBEW will be a topic of mine in the coming weeks.

Conflicting stories about non union help being told they are not needed for Sandy relief.

Marathon in NYC CANCELLED. What was Bloomberg thinking. They were pulling generators and police from disaster areas to work on the marathon.

Backgammon, during the blackout in 2006, union members from New England were dispatched to NYC to restore power including myself. Some of the local union guys in NYC didn't appreciate it and caused quite a ruckus. I sent DB a photo of what happened.

I will say that the Non Union crews are being harassed and that is delaying power restoration and may cost lives.
