Are you wondering where all the good jobs have gone? Why do we have less tax revenues creating an out-of-control Federal Budget deficit? Why are you working harder for less money than you did in the 1990's?
Death by China shows how the world's most populous nation and soon-to-be largest economy is rapidly turning into the planet's most efficient assassin through its shoddy and even poisonous products and environmental pollution. China's perverse form of capitalism combines illegal mercantilist and protectionist weapons to pick off American industries, job by job. Meanwhile, America's executives and politicians remain silent about the looming threat. To read a review of the book click here.
The Local 280 has a couple of these books available at the Union Hall to be checked out on a first come basis.

The Beginning...
Henry Miller
Henry Miller, the first President of the IBEW, died in 1896 without enough money for a decent burial. Miller was not alone. In the early part of the 20th century accidental electrocution among people employed in the electrical industry occurred with such frequency that many insurance companies refused to insure the lives of electrical workers. Others set the premiums so high that the typical electrical worker could not afford to maintain life insurance for his or her survivng family. In response to this dilemma members of the IBEW established a fraternal death benefit association in 1922 whose essential purpose was to provide the named beneficiary of a deceased member a sum that might permit our members to be interred in a dignified manner. That was later merged with the IBEW Pension Benefit Fund. You can view more on that here. Also, if you click on the picture above you will be able to view a short movie detailing how the IBEW came about.
