Press Release Summary: IBEW Local 103 Business Manager Michael Monahan engaged Union
Web Services (UWS) to construct a web site that emphasizes IBEW Local 103\'s work.

Press Release Body: Boston, MA, december,04, 2007---After working closely with the
UWS development team, Monahan is going live revamped site at
http://www.the103advantage.com that showcases efforts in market recovery, highlights
103\'s commercial and residential projects across the state, and demonstrates 103\'s
commitment to its members.


As Business Manager for the largest electricians\' construction local in New England,
and one of the largest International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) locals
in the country, Mike Monahan is responsible for creating opportunities for the IBEW
Local 103 membership and promoting the use of IBEW Local 103\'s contractors.

Monahan worked closely with Massachusetts-based Union Web Services (UWS) to develop
a web site that would emphasize his union\'s and his business representatives'
ability to drive the employment of IBEW\'s electrical contractors in Massachusetts.
He also wanted to highlight the outstanding work done by his contractors, many of
whom received training and experience through work on IBEW 103's numerous projects
in Boston.

Monahan thinks his aggressive market recovery efforts are already paying dividends
in the form of better wages for his members. Also, many members have gone into
business for themselves, opening up shops that offer teledata, inside and outside
electrical work, and solar and wind energy systems.

Monahan engaged Union Web Services (UWS) to construct a web site that emphasizes
IBEW Local 103\'s work. After working closely with the UWS development team, Monahan
is going live revamped site at http://www.the103advantage.com that showcases efforts
in market recovery, highlights 103\'s commercial and residential projects across the
state, and demonstrates 103\'s commitment to its members.

\"We are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves and to create jobs and
better opportunities for our membership,\" Monahan explains \"One of the ways we do
this is by increasing the number of signatory union contractors in our geographical
area.\"

IBEW 103 carefully monitors construction projects to determine when licensed,
skilled electricians are needed to ensure that a job proceeds safely and without
incident. And Monahan emphasizes that his members are frequently employed by
homeowners and by local businesses who have become more concerned with \"getting it
right\" the first time and avoiding additional costs through a lesser- trained
electrician.

Residents of Massachusetts can see the giant wind turbine at IBEW Local 103 that has
become a Boston landmark on the Southeast Expressway and a symbol of America\'s
embrace of renewable energy sources. It is no surprise, then, that Monahan sees
tremendous opportunities for growth for qualified electricians and technicians, in
Massachusetts and across the country, in the area of renewable sources of energy
such as solar and wind power. \"More and more of our signatory contractors are
engaged in harnessing renewable sources of energy like solar and wind that are then
delivered in the form of AC electricity for domestic consumption,\" Monahan explains.

Monahan encourages developers, general contractors, electricians and technicians
working in Massachusetts to visit the site and judge for themselves.

"Ultimately, I am responsible to the members of IBEW 103 and the users of our
services-these are the people that I must answer to," says Monahan.
