Working IBEW
“The American Labor Movement has consistently demonstrated its devotion to the public interest. It is,
and has been, good for all America.”
John F. Kennedy
Working IBEW is more than just superior wages and benefits. The IBEW was built on principles of family, fairness, justice and equality. We are an organization of more than 725,000 members working for a common goal to make a better life for all.
Life as an IBEW member
-
Wages, benefits and working conditions are negotiated. If you are not satisfied, you can work for changes during contract negotiations.
-
Contract negotiations require both sides-labor and management-to listen, and reach reasonable compromises acceptable to both sides.
-
Discipline, up to and including discharge, is subject to a grievance procedure and binding arbitration, depending on the terms of your contract.
-
Neither labor nor management can make unilateral changes to a signed contract. If modifications are necessary during the life of a contract, both sides must agree.
With IBEW Local 236, you will have the ability to work for over 50 local employers!
