The Unión de Trabajadores de la Industria Eléctrica y Riego (UTIER) —English: Electrical Industry and Irrigation Workers Union— is one of the labor unions that represents workers from the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.[1][2] The union was founded on May 3, 1942 by thirty seven linemen in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[3] At some point it was affiliated with the Free Federation of Workers and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations but it eventually unaffiliated and became independent.[3] Today, the union represents about 4,800 workers.[4]
