Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. employees voted Thursday night to unionize under the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, something organizers said would give 1,419 workers "a voice at the table."
The gas and electrical workers will be organized under a new chapter, Local 410. Baltimore-based BGE is owned by Chicago-based Exelon, and was the only one of six Exelon utilities not represented by a union.
Eric Gomez, an underground lines crew leader at BGE who helped organize the union, called the vote "wonderful."
"We've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this over the last few years and it finally came to fruition," Gomez said.
