And do you know why that is? It's because FirstEnergy is a union buster.
While Potomac Edison spokesflack Toad Meyers makes intelligent excuses for the lengthy outages such as: "Trees will likely continue to fall until the ice gets off," the real reason is that there are nearly 150 skilled linemen, substation electricians and other union employees who have been locked out by FirstEnergy in an attempt to force them to accept a new contract.
News reports say the workers want to help, offering to work while negotiations continue, but the company has rejected their offer.
How much faster could service be restored if they had 150 extra workers on the job?
So, if your power is still off, it's because FirstEnergy doesn't value its workers any more than it values your comfort and safety.
