Get Organized!

Do you work in the electric utility industry?

You need a Contract - that's an agreement between you, the employees, and the company spelling out your wages, benefits and rights. Employees bargain with strength for wages, benefits and rights when they join together. That's why it's important to unionize.

Companies can and will resist employee efforts to speak with a unified voice. Often, companies will try to intimidate and even fire employees for speaking out. Or, threaten to move the company to another city or even another country if employees unionize. These tactics, while illegal, are often used successfully to deny rights. That's why it is important to contact the IBEW before you start any efforts so that we can advise and guide you. All conversations between you and the IBEW are confidential. Please visit the following links to get more information about the IBEW and why a union can help you:
