IBEW Local 230
Share
IBEW Local 230 has been representing Electrical workers on Vancouver Island since 1902.
The line crew decided it was time for the large power company to share some of its wealth with their workers. Not long after the workers who operated the electric street cars around the city also organized into the local. Then came the telephone workers, and in the late twenties through the tireless efforts of our first Business Manager, Brother Bill Reid organized the inside wire section. The seed which was planted so long ago, and nourished with sound stewardship, has grown into a mighty maple, spanning all of Vancouver Island
“Local 230’s Jurisdiction covers, Utility, Inside Wire, Marine, Communications, Cable Television, Railroad and Electrical Manufacturing work as defined in Article XXVI, Sections 4,5,6,7, and 8 of the IBEW Constitution when performed on Vancouver Island and all of the offshore islands lying west of the main northbound navigational channel between Vancouver Island and the mainland, including Quadra Island but excluding Lasqueti and Texada Islands, save and except employees of the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority.”
The first IBEW Journal was published on January 15, 1893 as “The Electrical Worker” and has continued to inform our membership since. Our contributions have historically been color full and candid, yet concerned with the friction of the day
