IBEW Museum Added To Labor Map
Friday, September 3, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
A cool museum focusing
on the history of the electrical worker's union has been added to the online DC Labor
Map, which is chock full of great local labor sites – labor
struggles, monuments, arts & more -- for friends or family visiting over the
long Labor Day weekend. Although museum tours are currently only available to
IBEW members (10A and 1:30P, M-F), the IBEW is "working on creating a larger
online museum presence and we are in talks to open the museum to all visitors,"
says Museum Curator Curtis Bateman. "When these changes happen, they will be
posted on the Tour
section of the website." Reach Bateman at 202-728-7691 or by
