The IBEW is in the news, with a specific mention in Biden’s speech. The IBEW,
I think it is fair to say, has a reputation as one of the more right wing
unions. So I was interested to see this account of May Day.

Everyone Knew it Was Coming

As he watched the outages roll across Texas, Seventh District International
Representative Todd Newkirk thought back to a pamphlet the IBEW printed up back
in the late '90s when "deregulation" was the rage.
"It was called, 'Will Electric Deregulation Short Circuit America' and we
talked about all this," Newkirk said. "I used to have boxes of them in my car
and handed them out to everyone and we laid it all out. Before Enron, before
this; all the chaos is what we forecast."
