MissionAccording to its website:[1]
HistoryThe IBEW was established in 1891, when the American Federation of Labor, now a part of the AFL-CIO granted the union a charter with jurisdiction over electrical workers.[1] Following political and technological changes in the 1980s, IBEW membership declined from its peak of 1,000,000 to around 750,000. In a 2005 publication, the IBEW counted 947 local union affiliates across the United States and Canada, which made them "one of the largest unions in the world."[1] WorkThe IBEW is a 501(c)(5) nonprofit labor union. The union engages in collective bargaining for the electrical workers who compose its membership. Its members come from a variety of fields such as: utilities, construction, telecommunications, broadcasting, manufacturing, railroads and government.It is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and the Canadian Labour Congress.[3][1][4] With its political and legislative affairs department, the IBEW "maintains liaison with the legislative branch of the U.S. government and coordinates all efforts toward presenting the IBEW’s views and desires for the benefit of all the workers of the United States to Congress and regulatory agencies." Beyond lobbying efforts, the IBEW aims to educate and register voters. It also maintains a political fund, which reports to the Federal Election Commission and makes political contributions.[1] The IBEW publishes a monthly magazine, the IBEW Journal, which is sent around North America and aims to keep members informed about things happening around the union and major developments in labor and government affairs.[1] LobbyingThe IBEW is a registered lobbyist with the United States House of Representatives.[5] Ballot measuresThe following are a selection of ballot measures engaged by the union:
