'Crackle and pop' at the JIB
Article Abstract:
There was a great deal of dissention at the National Conference of the Joint Industry Board (JIB) for the Electrical Contracting Industry held in Apr 1992 about widening membership eligibility. Representatives from employers opposed moves to enrol electricians not working in contracting industries onto the JIB Register of Electricians. The delegates of the union considered this to be a good way to strengthen the union at a time when Europe is becoming so important. Many considered the JIB should remain as independent from commercial bodies as possible but others saw the advantages that could be gained in the single European market.
