Zion Rad Techs Unionizing?
Dave Warren:
Zion, Quad and Dresden were probably the worst union plants in ComEd. The Zion techs would take a liking to you if you proved yourself. The Quad techs were stuck out in BumF#@!$k and always stayed pissed off. The Dresden guys slowly improved as they phased out some of the old salts.
Zion took the cake though with those "No Contractor" signs in certain hallways, cafeterias and bathrooms. ComEd segregation at its finest.
Smart People:
Mid 90's
Quad's computer password: "radscab"
Dresden had regular PIF reports that there were too many contractors on site and a couple house techs got fired for refusing to take turnover from contractors.
Zion techs didn't want us there because we kept finding rad material outside the RCA.
techtoolong:
I talked to a friend at Zion. They still have Exelon techs there, they are union. They have long ago lost the attitude. Zionsolutions is now the Licensee and Exelon is considered a subcontractor. There are Zionsolution techs , they are considered "House" and Bartlett. It is the ZS techs that want a union. All of the craft is union. A laborer makes more than a ZS tech.
SpyCat:
"Word on the street is that the techs at Zion may be looking into organizing. Don't know the particulars, but have heard it at various locations."
Haven't heard your "techs" rumor :P on any street here in Zion. Doubtful that any more techs here would, uh, "organize". I never worked here in the "good old days" but now I am watching this otherwise workable, 2-unit nuclear power plant being demolished.:( I appreciate the posts here from other users re: the sad history of Zion Plant. Somewhat of a cautionary tale for workers & managers in our industry, eh.
Silver lining: I'm learning about MARSAME on this job. :D
