Le Manitoba est représenté dans un concours aux É.-U.

Durant la compétition Ideal Championship, la membre Madina Nur de la section locale 2085 de Winnipeg au Manitoba pouvait sentir la pression en septembre dernier à West Palm Beach en Floride; et pas parce qu’elle était la seule électricienne du Canada d’avoir été qualifiée au tournoi télévisé annuel du fabricant d’outils.

« Aussitôt arrivée, c’est comme un aquarium, tout le monde te regarde, les caméras et les lumières », déclare Mme Nur, une apprentie 3e année qui est à l’emploi de l’entrepreneur signataire de la FIOE, McCaine Electric. « C’était extrêmement angoissant. »

About the Electrical Worker

The Electrical Worker was the name of the first official publication of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 1893 (the NBEW became the IBEW in 1899 with the expansion of the union into Canada). The name and format of the publication have changed over the years. This newspaper is the official publication of the IBEW and seeks to capture the courage and spirit that motivated the founders of the Brotherhood and continue to inspire the union’s members today. The masthead of this newspaper is an adaptation of that of the first edition in 1893.
