Dear pphyllis24,
There are several good sources online, from which you can learn about
the disputes between the unions and NIPSCO.
My first recommendation is the "NIPSCO Unions Message Board" at
<http://www.uswa12775.org/>. This site contains much information and
links, including contact information, if you wish to contact
individuals involved.
Other union sites include:
United Steelworkers of America , District 7 -
http://www.skyenet.net/~charliea/union/USWADistrict7.html
USWA Locals 12775 and 13796 - Unofficial website for the physical and
clerical employees at the Northern Indiana Public Service Company
represented by the Steelworkers.
http://skyenet.net/~charliea/union/Local_12775.html
Paper, Allied-Industrial,Chemical & Energy Workers -
http://www.geocities.com/pacelocalunion/
United Steelworkers of America - District 7 - Sub District 4 -
http://www.uswa12775.org/SubDistrict/SubDistrict4BulletinBoard.htm
UWUA 349 - http://www.uwua349.no-ip.com/
UTU: The Voice of Transportation Labor - http://www.utu.org/
Other news sites discuss the alleged corporate corruption involved in
this and other cases:
Daily Enron - http://www.dailyenron.com/
NIPSCO UNDER FIRE - http://www.michigancityin.com/nipsco/ - mainly on
the disputes in 1997.
NIPSCO theselves have in their website <which is
http://www.nipsco.com> "Links to helpful Labor / Unions Web sites" -
http://econdev.nipsco.com/linkdetail.asp?ID=146
Further information could be found at Google Groups
alt.society.labor-unions
<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=alt.society.labor-unions>
, especially with a search for "unions and NIPSCO"
<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=unions+%22NIPSCO%22&sa=N&tab=wg>.
My search strategy included this site, as well as the results in the
"normal" Google <://www.google.com/search?q=unions+%22NIPSCO%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>
and <://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=unions+%22Northern+Indiana+Public+Service+Company%22>,
and in Google News service - for the latest news in the subject
<http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=NIPSCO>.
I hope that answers your question - on finding recent information on
the relationships between NIPSCO and the unions. Please contact me if
you need a clarification on the answer. |
