In our latest episode on March 7, 2024, Two Students Stabbed at Local 26 Electrical Training Center: Bullying and Mental Health in the skilled trades we discussed the tragic events which occurred on Feb 13th 2024 in Manassa, VA.  

In this episode of the Sparky Life podcast we follow up on the heart-wrenching events that have shaken our community at Local 26. I sat down with a courageous member of our team, who, for their safety, remains anonymous, to discuss the recent tragedies that have left us all searching for answers and longing for change.

Our guest shares personal experiences and insights, shedding light on the atmosphere that seems to have taken root. From the disconnect between students and instructors to the concerning instances of bullying and harassment, it's clear we need to take a hard look at ourselves and the culture we're part of. It's time for a shift towards a more equitable environment.
