was wondering if any memeber here was in any local in IBEW. I was looking to get in, and have many questions to someone that doesnt mind answering lol

 

Im a member of a different trade union and I have herd some are more difficult to get into than others. In my experience (i started as a permit worker), my local hall gave me a membership handbook with collective agreements and union 'bylaws'...(and some propaganda lol.) There was a lot of history and rules explained by reading that stuff that gave me a better understanding of how all it works . As permit you pay dues and get most or some benefits. My advice is to try to talk to a manager or a job steward for your particular local.... hope some of that helps and feel free to shoot me a question.

 

i got a guy who's on the neca board for the union im looking to get into. he comes into my job every now and then so I always ask him questions. havent seen him in a few days. I was curious to see what an electrician helper is required to do. i signed up as a summer helper and wanna know what im in for before i get the call so i can be prepared

 

I recently signed on the books. and have a friend who has been in for 2 years and his dad is an operator.

pm me

 

will do thank you!

 

My dad is a retired IBEW worker in Edmonton AB Canada.
