PG&E isn’t the only utility getting into the EV charging station business, but while most other companies are bringing in contractors to install the EV ports, PG&E opted to use its own IBEW 1245-represented employees to do the work.

Dalzell: Supreme Court Janus Decision Won’t Stop Us From Standing Together

You’re probably going to hear a lot of doom-and-gloom talk about the Janus decision in the news and at work. But despite what the media and naysayers may claim, the truth is that no court decision or politician can stop us from standing together in a union to get a better deal for our hard work. It’s our right, and they can’t take that away.
