Home of GE Factory Service Techs And GE Lighting. Local 850 was established prior to General Electric starting factory service in the nineteen fifties. In Los Angeles, GE’s subsidiary Hotpoint already had factory service and was unionized along with Westinghouse Factory Service technicians. In the late nineteen fifties Hotpoint was merged into GE and shortly after GE’s L.A. techs voted to join the union. In the coming years GE’s San Diego techs, LA’s GE Lighting warehouse and GE Supply’s warehouse personnel would join Local 850.
