Bringing Power to the People

The History of IBEW Local #77

"BRINGING POWER TO THE PEOPLE tells the story of IBEW Local #77 and its members--be they linemen, dam operators, meter readers, customer service representatives, tree trimmers, power dispatchers, protection relay system operators, iron workers, substation wiremen, or even once, a graveyard digger. Throughout Local #77's history these workers have supported each other under different employers and across their trades to gain living wages, safer working conditions, while providing reliable electricity to our region."--Publisher description.
