About the IBEW

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) is comprised of approximately 780,000 proud union members across the United States and Canada.

Involved in the leading edge of technology, IBEW members from all over the country are involved in maintaining power to homes and businesses.

In the Utility Industry, the IBEW represents linemen, groundmen, repairmen, machine operators, watch engineers, boiler operators, turbine operators, switchboard operators and dispatchers. And of course there are the radio dispatchers, meter installers, testers, clerical workers, cable splicers and welders.

The IBEW represents thousands of people in the Gas Industry from clerical workers to the employees involved in the transmission, distribution and maintenance of gas lines for heat and other uses.

Inside Wiremen install the electrical systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Cable Television uses thousands of IBEW members in the installation, maintenance and operations of television delivery systems.

The greatest communication system in the world is no accident. From Ma Bell to the hand held cordless phone, IBEW members have been there from the beginning; erecting poles, stringing lines, and connecting the world.  IBEW members include telephone linemen, cable splicers, station installers, plant engineers, and draftsmen.

Now its time for wireless and broadband workers to have representation.

Say Union Yes!
