This blogger is not "anti-union" or
"pro-union". I believe we
should have the individual freedom as Americans to not be subject to compulsory
union abuses. My younger brothers are union members and I write this as their
respective union has engaged with the leading advocate of high quality
illumination for the greater good. I don't do it often-giving credit where it
is due.
This week, the 750,000-member International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (IBEW) has become the newest sponsor of the National
Lighting Bureau (NLB). For 40 years, the independent, not-for-profit foundation
has educated commercial, industrial, residential, and other lighting-system
owners, managers, and users about the benefits of High Benefit Lighting® or function-focused, purpose-specific lighting systems
designed to maximize bottom-line returns.
The Bureau and IBEW share a common focus on lighting. For the IBEW, they recognize that lighting
systems are becoming a part of the electronic infrastructure-essential to
contemporary buildings.
"Our interests have always been close," said IBEW
Business Development Represetative Edwin Hill, Jr. "We both believe that
quality pays for itself, from design and specification through installation and
commissioning. We look forward to helping the NLB make that point ever more
vigorously in the years ahead.”
The IBEW joins GE Lighting, the Illuminating Engineering
Society of North America, Lighting Controls Association and the National
Electrical Contractors Association among others as sponsors of the NLB.
This news comes on the heels of pending fourth quarter news
after a huge third quarter as demand for lighting equipment jumped 4.4% between
the second and third quarters of 2015 to achieve what the National Lighting
Bureau hails as “the best quarterly performance since the second quarter of
2008.”
Kudos to the IBEW!
