To the Editor:
I want to
thank you for the Utility Reporter. It’s a good paper with a lot of news.
I was equipment
operator for the gas department out of Walnut Creek and a shop steward and
union trustee for 1245 in the old union hall on Clayton Road in Concord. I have
been retired for 28 years from the gas department. I am 85 years old. The paper
helped me remember a lot of things.
I was glad to
see the agency shop pass. [The agency shop was achieved at PG&E in the
early 1970s, just a few years before Brother Balen retired.] It helped a lot
and gave the union more money to work with.
I still belong
to 1245 Retirees Club.
A friend to
1245,
Edward Bolen
