INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS #1316
The leadership of Local 1316 has been constant with only eight Business Managers holding office since 1942, a rarity throughout the International. Brother John B. Pate served from 1942-1952, Brother James T. Price served from 1953-1955, Brother Archie G. Sneed served from 1955-1961, Brother Morgan H. Bowen served from 1961-1992, Brother Johnny Mack Nickles served from 1992-2012, Brother Ralph B. Snowden served from 2012-2017, and Harry L. Murray Jr. serving 2017-2019, Brother Todd Wright serving since 2019.
As in decades past, Local 1316 continues to play a role in the political, social, and organized labor issues in Macon and central Georgia. Today our Electrical Brotherhood has been refined, tested, and reworked by decades of training, experience, expanding technology, legal and trade standards and safety measures. I’m sure the changes would be unrecognizable to the ten charter members of Local 1316.
