A large contingent of 1245 organizing stewards and staff attended the CPUC hearing in October.
Three IBEW 1245 organizing stewards and one staffer testified before the California Public Utilities Commission on Oct. 12 to advocate for sufficient funding for PG&E’s critical needs. They were joined by a dozen of their fellow members who rose to their feet to show their support during the IBEW 1245 testimony.
Donny Davis testified on the importance of funding employee benefits, Foster Goree testified on the essential work needed to replace dangerous plastic gas pipe, and Kayela Jones testified on the issue of public safety from her perspective as customer service representative responding to gas leak and other emergency calls.
Watch here (1245 member testimony begins at the 11:45 mark).
Foster Goree testified before the committee, while his fellow IBEW 1245 members in the chamber rose to the feet to show support.
