Georgia Power Buys Ad to Honor IBEW Members for Sandy Response
Georgia Power, one of the largest utilities companies in the South, took out a full-page ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution honoring the contribution of Electrical Workers ( IBEW ) who jumped into action and helped out during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The rare instance of a corporation lauding union members in a major press outlet was a reaction to a resolution honoring the members of IBEW Local 84 that the state legislature passed at the request of the Georgia AFL-CIO .
