"The City Council of the City of Pittsburgh urges Duquesne Light Company to return to the bargaining table in good faith in order to quickly resolve the disputes to reach an agreement and ensure that IBEW Local 29 workers receive a fair contract and that Pittsburgh residents do not experience stops in service."

"IBEW Local 29 workers are fighting for a fair contract and what they’ve earned.
Proud to stand with them on the picket line this morning!

Solidarity forever."

"Electrical linework is inherently dangerous, with the risk for cardiac arrest high when working with high voltage electricity in unpredictable conditions to keep our communities safe. That’s why I’m pleased that the Senate passed my bill to require AED access on utility worksites and AED training. Seconds matter after cardiac arrest, and this common-sense solution will save lives.

Here in Allegheny County, our electrical line workers with IBEW 29 are currently on strike, and I’m proud to support them in Harrisburg while they fight for a fair contract at home."

"They’re fighting for the staffing and resources necessary to make sure that grid reliability can be adequately maintained… and I believe that the VERY well paid executives and out-of-country ownership could better support the workforce that keeps the lights on (we all know our electricity bills are already high enough to not be having the power go out constantly!). We deserve a reliable grid, and the workforce deserves the resources and staffing capacity necessary to make that happen."

IBEW 94 Supports IBEW 29:

"This isn’t just about wages. This is about fair treatment to the men and women whose work is what lines the company's pockets year after year. It’s about every worker's safety and a pathway to retirement."

"Local 1289 stands firmly with Local 29 and we urge that Duquesne Light agree to a fair contract that respects Local 29 members. Our strength as the IBEW comes from solidarity — standing together across locals, across jurisdictions, and across employers to protect wages, benefits, and dignity on the job."

"We stand together. We protect each other. and we do not allow anyone to divide this Union. IBEW Local 614 is with you"

ATU Local 85 executive board officers joined IBEW Local 29 in solidarity as they fight for better pension, healthcare and safety standards at Duquesne Light.

Local 85 stands UNITED with IBEW!

"The members of IAFF Local 10 are PROUD to stand strong with our brothers and sisters at IBEW Local 29 as they strike for fair wages, safer working conditions, a stop on outsourcing jobs to foreign countries, retiree healthcare and an end to CORPORATE GREED!

Working closely with these men and women on a regular basis, we see how much they put on the line to ‘keep the lights on!’ It’s time they get what they deserve in return!

Stand strong and hold the line brothers!"
