President J.J . Barry addressed the
co mpl ex cha nges facing the utilit y
industry.
Firs t of all. he said, local unions
need 10 see the p ro ~ lems before them
on (wo front , the short term and the
long term. " [n lhe sho rt term. we must
deal with the inevitable anger and Un-
ger pointing th a I befa lls those whose
expec l al ions or joh sec urity and

we will do a grave di<service to all of
our members... ir we ignore th e [Iong-

President Barry sL ress~t1 commun i-
cation as a mean s to both the shor t-

wa y to bette r comm unica te. he spo ke
to Ihe delegates abo ul Ihc IBEW·s
ne w com puter network, [BEW"el. and
urged all loca l unions to gel a com-
puter with a modem and to sign up for
tbe new se rvice. H e a lso called o n
un io n leaders to Slart newsJetters. if
they didn 't a lrcady have them. ·'111e
anx iety th at Oll r utility mem be rs feel is
only heightened if th ey do not k.n ow

th eir unio n is do ing ilbou t it," he said,
H e spo ke abou t th e new relation-
shi ps between management and labor.
the pressures utility d ereg ulation is
bringing to the industry. And he said
locals shoulu work cooperatively with
com panies, but 10 be careful that th e
me mbe r:; ' interests are alwnys bei ng
protected. H e said " 1 know that nUlIlY

-'we are one unio n. united

d e nt Barry continued,
'" w e muo;; l ell1p wer our

P reside n t
Barry also tal ked
about the impor-

In the end President Barry was
hopeful. He c lose u hi s 'peecll b y

" If we leave [here] wi th the same
