I was reading the local paper today some article about court reporters. Nothing special until I read the last sentance:

"Court reporters in Cook County, in a few weeks, will be voting on possibly joining the Illinois Brotherhood of Electrical Workers."

I found it online also here: http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/newssun/top/w25courtrep.htm

But then I thought wait.. There's a IBEW but it's International not Illinois. Never herd of or could find anything on Illinois Brother of Electrical Workers.

Did they get the Illinois part wrong or just did not even come close to naming the right union.

Not wanting any debates but I about fell off my chair when I read this.

I'm thinking the last time I was in court they had a few bulbs that needed changing. Maybe the court reporters could put on a tool belt a get to work during breaks.
