IBEW 26’s “Big Entrance into Northern VA”: The latest edition of IN Charge, IBEW Local 26’s quarterly magazine, is chock-full of fascinating stories and photos. The cover story, “Making a Big Entrance into Northern VA” (page 8) describes how more than 200 IBEW Local 26 members are working to complete Phase I of the Silver Line in the largest expansion project since Metro first opened its doors in 1976, bringing Metro even farther out into the Virginia suburbs and improving access to Dulles Airport.  “The work of the Local 26 crew has been challenging and difficult, but rewarding,” according to the article. And “Local 26 Members Enjoy Labor Night at the Nats” (page 34) describes how dozens of Local 26 members and their families were able to “take advantage of deeply discounted tickets and support a good cause at the same time,” maybe just shorten to with proceeds going to the Metro Washington Council’s Community Services Agency (CSA).
