Why the IBEW?
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers was founded in St. Louis in 1891 by 10 early electrical
tradesmen. Today, at over 725,000 members, the IBEW is the largest and strongest organization for
employees in the communications, utility, and electrical industries. Throughout the history of the IBEW our
organization has fought to improve the lives of working families whether they were members or not. The
IBEW helped pass basic laws that many now take for granted. These include the 40 hour work week,
overtime and minimum wages, family and child medical leave, workplace safety laws, equal pay for women
and minorities, and job protection when our soldiers come home from deployment. Almost every industry
in America that has provided stable middle class incomes has had unions and partnerships between
management and their employees. IBEW has a reputation amongst employers as a firm but fair partner
who works to ensure employees grow as their companies do. The IBEW is about a lot more than just
better wages and working conditions, however, we are also leaders in our communities.
Members Making a Difference.
Each year IBEW members volunteer hundreds of thousands of hours each year to their communities.
Because of their stable work lives IBEW members can also spend more time with their families than most
workers do. From its earliest days to the strong international organization the IBEW is today, our
members have made a difference all across this great country.
