The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has set the highest standards for the electrical industry. Non-union employers consistently pay lower wages and less or no additional benefits to their employees. locals have health and welfare plans with dependent coverage. These plans are available after you fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements. locals have one or more separate and distinct pension plans with eligibility running concurrently. There are two International pension plans that augment the Local plan or plans. These plans are in addition to social security. While working away from home, as an I.B.E.W. electrician, wherever you work in the U.S. you are entitled to reciprocity of your earned benefits. This means your benefits will be transferred to your home local upon your request. As a union electrician you have access to working for union contractors in Texas, plus thousands more throughout the U.S. and Canada. All these Benefits belong to YOU and Your Family.
