The IBEW, or International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is a non-profit labor organization, as defined in the Labor Mananagement Reporting and Disclosure Act. Basically, the IBEW is an organization of workers with common concerns and aspirations.
One of the goals of the organization is to "cultivate feelings of friendship among those in our industry." This means the IBEW's goal is to maintain a friendly but firm relationship with employers employing IBEW members. The process of industrial democracy achieves the goals of the members who make up the IBEW.
People with the same concerns often get together to talk and look for answers. That's exactly what a Union is all about. It is people coming together and voicing their mutual concerns. By saying, "UNION YES", they make a better jobsite, and a better life for themselves and their families within their communities.
The IBEW is one of the most progressive Unions in existence, representing over 750,000 proud Union members with a wide diversity of skills and jobs.
Great Employee Benefits including coverage for medical care, prescriptions,dental and vision care, plus multiple pensions, annuity, disability and life insurance.
Unionized workplaces are industry leaders in preventing job-related injuries.
Over $100 million annually spent to produce the best trained, most up-to-date electrical apprentices and journeymen in the country.
