GREAT NORTHERN ELECTRIC

53 Year Old BLACKLIST 

Proves Ongoing Decades of Kansas City

NECA Contractor Labor Problems & Strife

 

An estimated 53 year old Family Heirloom was obtained originally by an IBEW 124 Electrician upon presenting his

JOB REFERRAL 

to the Contractor, who the union workers had mockingly nicknamed 

 

"GREAT NUTHIN"

​

About 1970, upon viewing the valid IBEW # 124 Job Referral, the contractor employee in the office observed on the

"DO NOT HIRE" BLACKLIST

​

that Howard Leavitt was to be "spun" be rejected.

​

But Harold "Curley" Leavitt was not rejected, Harold got the job.

 

There never was any Howard Leavitt,

the Great Nuthin  contractor misspelled Harold's, Howard's,

"Who's on First?" name.

 

Harold Leavitt proceeded to Five Finger Discount (steal)

 the CONTRACTOR BLACKLIST right off the desk

when the office person left the room.

​

Harold made copies of the pilfered list, and then he handed out copies of the Great Nuthin Blacklist to all of the Electricians on the job site,

 & at the IBEW 124 Union Meeting Hall.

​

Wiremen Electricians were so Proud, they were whooping & hollering especially the ones that had earned * * * asterisks next to their names.

​

​

Many warm thanks go out to those souls who are mentioned on this list.
