IBEW Local Union 21 is saddened to announce the passing of our
Sister Tonya Jackson who worked at the City of Chicago OEMC 911 Center. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tonya’s family, friends,
co-workers and all of our members.
Our Sister was a loving mother and a kind and generous friend to many of our members and to those in the communities where she lived and worked.
We have some good news to report today, our internet and phones are back up and working. As expected we ran into some delays in coordinating the movement of all of our communications services. Anyone who has worked on orders for types of moves like ours can understand some of the problems we experienced.
We would like to thank all of our AT&T members who helped get us up and running over the past few days especially AT&T Member Tom Henzel and our Avaya members Thomas Concannon and Louis Shapiro.
