We earnestly invite all men belonging to our trade to come forward, join our ranks and help increase our number, until such time there shall be no man working at our trade outside our Brotherhood, and as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is a close attention to the duties of our Brotherhood the protection of our natural interests, a duty all the more compulsory on us, as our standing among our fellow mechanics demands that we shall not be backward in bringing our trade to an equal standing with any other in the land. And we know of no other means to accomplish this than by organization. Therefore it is the imperative duty of every Electrical Worker to do all in his power to organize the men of his craft and thus place ourselves in the material, social and moral position the dignity of our trade entitles us to.
The objects of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are:
- To organize all workers in the entire electrical industry in the United States and Canada including all those in public utilities and electrical manufacturing, into local unions,
- To promote reasonable methods of work,
- To cultivate feelings of friendship among those of our industry,
- To settle disputes between employers and employees by arbitration (if possible),
- To assist each other in sickness or distress,
- To secure employment,
- To reduce the hours of daily labor,
- To secure adequate pay for our work,
- To seek a higher and higher standard of living,
- To seek security for the individual,
- And by legal and proper means to elevate the moral, intellectual and social conditions of our members, their families and dependents, in the interest of a higher standard of citizenship.
Our Organizing Mission Statement
- To afford all who work in our industry a better quality of life through representation and membership in the IBEW.
- To achieve the ability to set the terms and conditions of employment in our industry for a better standard of living and safer workplaces for all involved.
- To establish our union, through membership and involvement, as an essential component to our community economically, politically and socially.
- To enable the IBEW to continue to play a positive and stabilizing role in our industry for the benefit of its membership, participants, customers and community-at-large.
- To promote positive relationships throughout our industry exemplified by our Labor-Management Cooperation.
