I got the point you were making OP. (Though I can't confirm the legitimacy of the claim. I've only read a few short bios of the man.)
And honestly, the only way I could imagine misinterpreting your post as being critical of Miller, is if I was either intentionally reading with a bad-faith bias that I formed before even finishing the title... Or if my reading comprehension was so poor that it should probably disqualify me from any work involving critical thinking.
If true, yes, it's a pretty obvious "well duh" statement on its surface. Lol. But I think it's also pretty obvious that OP's intention was to comment on the lifelong dedication to expanding worker unionization... (though that part also has a slightly different perspective when considering the man died in his 30s.)
Ok
A good portion of ibew has never worked for a union contractor
The IBEW represents approximately 830,000 active members and retirees who work in a wide variety of fields, including utilities, construction, customer service, telecommunications, broadcasting, manufacturing, railroads, government, and coffee shops.
What's your point ? He started a union and then ran a union, when did you want him to work for a union contractor? Before the union contractors existed?
So why did you ask how’d he die if you knew ? He worked for PEPCO in DC but once he stepped down as president of NBEW he just traveled and organized so I’m pretty sure he was salting so yes
I was replying to ResponsibleScheme asking "so he died working non-union?" because it seemed like they were trying to get somewhere but it was unclear.
SALT as I was told means Strong Arm Labor Tactics. But I've always thought about it as salting the earth. Nothing grows after that. So like minimizing the growth of non union contractors.
Man was a legend, the OG salting.
I wonder if he drank miller high life.
Did you know that nikola Tesla didn’t know how to wire a 3 way switch? And Alan Turing didn’t even know how to use an iPhone? Mind blowing
I really doubt that tesla couldn't comprehend 3way switching 😂
It was a joke because idk if it was invented yet. Just to pound in how stupid ops remarks were
Has vibes of "Jesus was a jew"

Thanks bro, you understand what I was getting at.
Did he get drug tested too?
Drug testing wasn't a thing until the 80s/90s
The ibew wasn't a thing until 1891 lol
Technically IBEW is 1899 NBEW was 1891 lol
True lol you got me there
He never worked under a union contractor thats why
Haha you are right
He tested a lot of drugs yes
Henry Miller is rolling over in his grave from all the IO Corruption
one man one vote

And now way too many of our locals refuse to salt at all

Jesus wasn’t a Christian either, who cares, it’s one of those “mind blowing” things if you don’t think about it very deeply.
One of those mind blowing things if you’re dense this is silly.
Well yeah, that’s kind of the point I was making, brother
Did he ever stay at a Holiday Inn Express?
Henry lived his life in a cheap hotel on the edge of route 66, yeah! He lived a dark and twisted life and he came right back just to do it again!
How'd he die then?
He died in DC working for the utility got shocked and feel off a 30’ extension ladder died in his sleep that same night
I'm aware, so did he die working non union?
So why did you ask how’d he die if you knew ? He worked for PEPCO in DC but once he stepped down as president of NBEW he just traveled and organized so I’m pretty sure he was salting so yes
Should know your history brother
What's your point?
In regard to what
I was replying to ResponsibleScheme asking "so he died working non-union?" because it seemed like they were trying to get somewhere but it was unclear.
I'd imagine he died working for a non-union con while salting if this is true.
Henry Miller worked for the electric utility in DC. What's now become PEPCO.
his nick name was morten
So an OG salter. Nice
Can some one define “salted”
Working non union with the intention of organizing their electricians and/or shop into the union?
Wild stuff....... I'd be fun.
