2014 is around the corner.

2014 is around the corner. The city of Los Angeles will have a new mayor, controller, and city council members. The LADWP will be negotiating for a new IBEW 18 employee salary and pension increase contract, Once again IBEW 18 union boss man Brian D’Arcy will threaten to strike if he doesn’t get his way. The City of Los Angeles can’t afford to sign another disastrous contract like they did in the past. These negotiations must show complete transparency. The negotiating table must have present: Mayor elect, IBEW 18 boss man Brian D’Arcy, GM Ron Nichols with Department executives, City Council committee members, Ratepayer Advocate Dr Pickel and Neighborhood Council DWP MOU committee members and others.
