The labor/management committee has resolved to cooperate in public service
efforts whose objective shall be to enhance the public image of I.B.E.W ./N.E.C.A.
and publicize the quality product we market.
Facts and figures define the I.B.E.W. electrician as the best trained, most pro­
ductive electrical worker in the nation today. Our joint objective is to make use of
that skill and promote that talent.
Since the first meeting between Jim Brooks of the Urban League and the Metro
Electrical Apprenticeship Committee in 1964, many Blacks, women and other mino­
rities have been recruited and employed in the electrical construction industry. Be­
cause of this cooperation, Charlye Molden and Donna Hammond were two of the
first Black women in the nation to be trained as journeymen electricians.
