The impact of hurricane Sandy on consolidated Edison of New York

This position paper produced by the Utility Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO, is an assessment of restoration efforts and gives recommendations for the future.

This position paper assesses the performance of New York’s electricity utility Consolidated Edison after Hurricane Sandy. The paper focuses on information obtained from their members. These workers have a unique perspective on the areas under investigation by the Commission because Con Edison's working men and women operate the system on a day-to-day basis, and they were on the front lines of the Company's efforts to restore service, house-by-house, to the millions of New Yorkers affected by Sandy.
