    Con Ed Workers Burned in Manhole WABC-TV, NY
    The two men had been working in the manhole along a service road. Con Ed officials say they are still trying to determine what actually caused the incident. But you utility union officials representing the workers in Local 1-2 -- whose contract expires shortly -- are calling for more inspections of manholes.

    Mark Williams, Union Business Agent: 'It's just a roll of the dice before one of our employees is going to be in those manholes They need to do more inspections. They need to go in there, and they need to actually look at this.'

    Con Ed officials say, they are committed to checking all underground structures annually.
