Welcome to the official web site of the IBEW, Local Union 1547.
Notice:
On
July 1, 16 mechanics, radio technicians and warehouse employees who work
at Denali
National Park
went on strike for fair wages. Public support for the striking employees
has been tremendous. On behalf of the workers, I want to thank members
of Labor for their support. The positive reaction from the tourist,
other employees and the community means a lot to those who have
temporarily walked away from their jobs in order to make a better life
for their families.
In Solidarity,
--Larry
Bell, Business Manager, IBEW Local 1547
