Does anyone know why there isn't a union set up specifically for "nukeworkers" or some variation there off?  For instance, why do rad techs get lumped in with IBEW, Operating Engineers, Steel Workers etc?

DOE Portsmouth is a nice test case.  It been up for vote a couple times recently and almost passed.  Now with ATL chopping benefits to nothing, the issue for rad techs is supposedly back on the table.  That said, it's always with the steelworkers local.
