Bringing Power to the People

Bringing Power to the People was published in 2013. It’s about  tells the history of IBEW Local #77  (a Washington State local of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). Now I am working on getting copies into the appropriate libraries and archives, and tooling up for another project.

Because Local #77 has represented many of the workers who built, maintain, and operate the electrical system in Washington State and beyond, I had the opportunity to research and write about everything from regional electrification to the bowler hats linemen once wore.

Throughout Local #77’s history its members have supported one another, under different employers and across their trades, to gain living wages and safer working conditions while providing reliable electricity to the Pacific Northwest.
