Who is the IBEW?

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is a union of 725,000 members, making us the largest organization of electrical workers in North America.

The IBEW’s mission is to bring fairness and respect to our highly-trained, skilled members. With thousands of contracts that we have helped negotiate, we work hard to ensure that our members enjoy superior wages and benefits compared to nonunion employees.

With members in seven sectors – construction, utilities, manufacturing, telecommunications, broadcasting, railroad and government – we’re focused on improving their lives and powering an economy that works for everyone.

By joining the IBEW, your voice will be amplified and your on-the-job concerns will be heard by our professional staff. With extensive experience in legal, political and employment issues, our IBEW representatives can help ensure that you receive fair treatment, a safer working environment, additional job security and a harassment-free workplace.

Through our union we achieve a strong voice – one that cannot be easily dismissed by management.
