Every day since November 8th when the Camp Fire started, members of the labor union which I lead have been working to rebuild the gas and electric systems of Paradise, Magalia, and Concow. In the early hours of the fire they risked their lives to help evacuate those with no way to get out. Since then, they have worked from dawn to dusk, and sometimes more, seven days a week. They have worked through weeks of horrible air quality and they have worked through rain. Many are living in a temporary camp; all have given up time with their families. Many who have recently joined the effort are thousands of miles away from their families as the holiday season passes by.
