@Jane, Gulf Power is union. I know that Pike Electric went up there to help and they aren’t union and they’re still working up there. I’ve heard that the power grid up there is real old and that could be part of the slow process.

@Snopes, thanks for setting the record straight on that union rumor.

Glad no South Co personnel were hurt, everybody made it home safe.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/sandyunion.asp Every bit of help was appreciated and accepted, no one was turned away because of non affiliations with a union.

William,

At least one power co truck was sent home and not allowed to help because they were not union. Do you know if Gulf Power is union? The reason I’m asking is that it seems to be taking a long time to restore power up there. If they won’t let non union workers help then that explains it.
