IBEW LOCAL 300 ATTENDS GRAYBAR SHOW
South Burlington, Vt. – (Oct. 26, 2007) – The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 300 recently participated in the Graybar Customer Appreciation Days.
The two-day event took place in Rutland and Williston Oct. 3-4 and was attended by an estimated 400 people. Graybar, a leading electrical supply shop with 250-plus locations throughout North America, organized the festivities. In addition to Local 300, over 45 vendors were on hand to exhibit their products.
Local 300 representatives Jean Watkins and Matt Lash were both on site for the duration of the event to speak with attendees. On the final day, they were joined by IBEW member and journeyman electrician Amy James of Johnson, Vt. A steady stream of people stopped at the union’s booth for information.
“Graybar’s constituency got to see firsthand what many in the trades already know – the IBEW delivers productivity, profit and value,” said Business Manager George Clain. “Electrical contractors can benefit from partnering with this union, particularly through cost-effective access to highly-trained laborers. We were also proud to showcase the best-in-class wages and benefits our electricians receive, as well as the learning opportunities available for those interested in becoming an electrician.”
