The I.B.E.W. represents thousands of workers in every kind of job in the Electrical Industry and these electrical workers have an amazingly wide range of skills. In the I.B.E.W. employees bargain along with many other workers to increase their mutual strength in gaining better wages, benefits and rights. We become stronger when we join together.
You have the right to form or join a union, guaranteed by the National Labor Relations Act, still, that does not mean it will be an easy task! All too many Companies will not readily want to see their employees exercise that right. Their reaction might be to threaten or intimidate the employees in their places of work. This is illegal, but all too often still is used to keep their employees from forming or joining unions.
It is very important to contact the I.B.E.W. before you begin any effort, that way we can help, with advice, guidance and other tools at our disposal. Any conversation between you and the I.B.E.W. is strictly confidential.

We, earnestly invite all workers belonging to our trade to come forward, join our ranks and help increase our numbers, until such time there shall be no one working at our trade outside our Brotherhood..."
Portion of the 1891 Preamble to the Constitution of the IBEW
What is a Union?
An organization of workers joined together for a commonpurpose,for mutual aid and protection,to engage in concerted activity and collective bargaining,to elevate their conditions of life and labor;an organization by which ordinary people do extraordinary things.
We are through- we're done-we're finished keeping qualified people out of this union- out of our Brotherhood. No reasons- no excuses- nothing- is acceptable for keeping out people who want to be part of us, there are answers to all the issues and questions that you may raise.
If they are not proficient in parts of our trade, train them.
If they are illiterate, teach them to read and write.
If they do not understand or speak English, we have a program that you can use to teach them.
If they do not present themselves correctly, start a program to teach them.
We are going to grow this union. We are going to do what we said we would do at every International Convention of the IBEW since 1986- four in all- that the IBEW and its local unions will intensify their efforts to organize and take into membership all unorganized workers in all branches of our Brotherhood so that these workers may improve their working and economic lives.

MISSION STATEMENT
"If I were an employee, a working man... or wage-earner of any sort, I undoubtebly would join a Union of my trade... I believe in the Union and I believe that all men are morally bound to help the extent of their powers in the common interests advanced by the Union."
