International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW)
ConstructionDistrict of Columbia, United States10001+ Employees
The IBEW is a labor union in the construction sector representing active and retired workers across utilities, construction, telecommunications, broadcasting, manufacturing, railroads, and government. Its membership spans the United States and Canada, making it one of the AFL-CIO's largest unions due to the breadth of skilled occupations it covers. The organization is based in Washington, D.C., and it negotiates on behalf of its members to secure wages, benefits, and rights through collective bargaining. A notable development in 2026 was a partnership with Rosendin Electric to create career advancement pathways for workers at all skill levels, including newcomers. The IBEW's activities and membership reflect a cross-border footprint across the United States and Canada within the construction and skilled trades landscape, reinforcing its prominence in the federation.
