There has been an interest in starting a softball team. Membership Development Director Brian Callahan along with Brother Tim Price are going to hold an informational meeting to discuss the team and the league that they will be playing in. At the end of the season the team would like to participate in Local 25's tournement in Long Island at the end of August.

At this meeting, they are looking for participants for the team and discuss how the costs for uniforms and the trip can be offset. Anyone interseted in becoming a member of the softball team is asked to attend the informational meeting on Wednesday March 12th at 5 PM at the Union Hall (this is before the Union meeting).

The IBEW Fight Back is a new website used to engage members into the legislative process.
This website will allow members to let their elected officials know how upcoming legislation will affect the lives of IBEW members.
The website is designed to allow members to register and be able to let their elected officials know where they
are, for or against upcoming legislation that effects working families of the IBEW.

Once that you register you will be able send an email to your elected officials either supporting or opposing
upcoming legislation that effects the IBEW.  All you need to do is register to begin receive alerts on upcoming issues
concerning the IBEW.

As of January 1, 2008 Local 223 members’ health insurance is provided by the New England Electrical Workers Benefit Fund.  You should have received information in the mail concerning the change.  If you have any questions call the Union Hall or call the New England Electrical Workers Benefits Fund at (800) 832-6538.

With this redesigned site we will be able to better serve our members and keep them informed of the issues that affect working men and women of Southeastern Massachusetts.  We will be able to regularly update this content and allow our members to be able to receive information from the union office via email.  We look forward to being able to communicate with each member on issues that affect us in his or her community.  Our members will be able to know when an issue arises within their community, and how they will be able to help.
