Meanwhile, seasoned crews with actual hurricane and wind storm damage experience are being turned away:

The general manager of Decatur Utilities, Ray Hardin told Fox Business they were presented documents from the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers at a staging area in Virginia. The documents stated they had to affiliate with a union to work, which the crews could not agree to.

The unions are trying to shake them down for dues or something.

They must not need help very badly to be turning it away like this.

At least we tried!

Other crews were accepted in Maryland, have completed the assignment and are on their way home.
