Union representatives of gas utility workers met in Palm Springs, CA on Dec. 13 to discuss problems common to their respective workforces.
IBEW 1245 staff and members represented gas workers from PG&E and NV Energy. The union workforces from San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison were represented by members and staff from the Utility Workers Union of America.
The meeting was an opportunity to compare contract language and to begin a dialogue on regulatory issues as the gas industry in California faces closer CPUC scrutiny in the wake of the San Bruno disaster.
