IBEW Local 103 Business Manager wins Cushing Award

Mike Monahan of Local 103 of the IBEW recently won a Cushing-Gavin Award, given by the Labor Guild of the Archidiocese of Boston to honor “outstanding work in the labor relations field.” We interviewed Mike for our recent article on collaboration between the IBEW and the Dropkick Murphys.

The article in the Boston Globe profiling award recipients says this about Mike:

The Labor Award went to Michael Monahan, a fourth-generation unionist who was honored for bringing modern, innovative thinking to labor activism. As business manager of Local 103 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Monahan used the union’s standing to promote wind and solar power, positions that could lead to additional jobs for union members.

Monahan was also cited by the selection committee for working cooperatively with contractors to increase union work and for targeting other contractors that provide substandard employment.

Congrats, Mike!
