Welcome to IBEW 223

Read the Business Manager's Update

Welcome to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 223 web site. We have designed this site for our membership to keep them up to date on what is happening within Local 223 and the IBEW.

We would like to let all electricians and telecommunications technicians in Southeastern Massachusetts know the benefits of being an organized worker. We hope to let the people of Southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands know why IBEW-trained workers are an asset for construction projects in the Southeastern Massachusetts area.

Our belief is that hiring an electrical contractor that pays community standard wages and benefits helps the community. When someone from within the community is working on a project in the community it helps the local economy with workers spending their earnings locally.

Please take the time to browse through our web site. Let us know what you think and ask us for more information concerning the IBEW or Local 223 in particular. We look forward to hearing from you, both our members and unorganized workers in the electrical field.

Fraternally,
 
David W. Fenton
Business Manager/Financial Secretary
