The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers was formed in 1891 by a group of electricians
who wanted a safer workplace, fair wages and, in general, respect for the service they rendered their
communities through their labors. In 1891 there were no training programs, no safety regulations, no
medical plans, no pension plans, no early retirement, no Death Benefit Fund, and nearly half of all
electricians were being killed on the job. Because the IBEW nourished the needs of these workers, it has
grown from a handful of pioneers to the largest electrical union in the world. However, the IBEW is not
about a growing business or organization, it's a fraternity. The IBEW is made up of working men and
women, in the electrical industry, committed to bettering themselves and the industry. But neither the
IBEW nor the electrical industry is made better, unless all who labor in the industry are secure in their
employment, receive a fair wage, have training programs, pension plans, dental and medical plans for
themselves and their families. For over a hundred years the IBEW has been about offering all these things
to electricians who have been wrongfully denied them. All electrical workers deserve the IBEW's standard of
living, the highest in the industry!
