I also heard that non-union help from Alabama to New Jersey to help restore power was told to go home.

Its possible sure. IBEW is strong. But they went to New York and no problems, and NY IBEW is not likely weaker.
I suspect its more that the Electric companies in some parts of Jersey are already moving their guys north due to the work in the south being close to done and the north and new york being weeks away from being done (they are doing this, per news reports). They probably are not telling the worker bees that so they make up rumors.
Or its just union nuttiness.
