In this episode of Today’s Rosie we hear from Reverend Elaine McGuire, a Journey level Electrician with IBEW Local 98. She has over 20 years of experience, often being both the only woman and only Black woman on construction sites in the Philadelphia region. She tells us what she loves about her trade, how she got started and some of the challenges when you are an “only” on a job site and in the union.
