I'm in Pittsburgh IBEW # 5. Int'l Pres Hill is from the local next door. Pres Trumka is from the area, as well.

Labor is actually following in the footsteps of the late June Occupy NatGat in Philly.

Since Occupy Pgh and Spring 99 (We are One & Working America) have already been involved in local actions in support of the AFT, the CWA\IBEW, the ATU, the SEIU, UNITE, and the Postal Workers, it would be nice to get the word out to all of those other AFL-CIO allied trades, and the allied progressive movements that are repped by Occupy and Spring. Your post and the monthly International IBEW paper are the only two mentions I've seen of the action, so far.
