Different than our IUE. IBEW is more a technical craft union—we were assembly line workers who happened to make electrical things.
Same as my father. He operated a milling machine to crank out shafts for washing machines. Just a different union.
From what Joe B said above and the Wiki page it appears Pittsburgh was a bunch of damn commies! Heh. I’m learning new history today.
