International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

Everyone has the same choice if they are treated unfairly. You can quit. But union workers have something better. It's called a grievance procedure and it's part of every IBEW contract.
 

Local 191 covers a large geographical area including Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island, San Juan, Douglas, Grant, Chelan, and Okanogan counties. Our membership is comprised of Commercial / Industrial, Residential, and Sound and Communication Electricians. Other members include Motor Shop, Radio-Television Broadcast workers, Maintenance Electricians, Electrical Inspectors, and Service Technicians.
 
Our cause is the cause of human justice, human rights, and human security. Our object is to organize all workers in the entire electrical industry, working in our jurisdiction, into our local union. We believe in cultivating feelings of friendship among those in our industry, assisting each other in sickness or distress, securing adequate pay for our work in order to achieve a higher standard of living, seeking security for our individual members, and by legal and proper means elevate the moral, intellectual, and social conditions of our members and their families.

The benefit of joining IBEW Local 191 lies in our collective bargaining strength. Collectively we bargain our wages, benefits, and working conditions, to set the standard in our industry.
