Congratulations to October 2025 Apprentice of the Month Grant Hayden!

“Before the apprenticeship, I worked at Costco and spent time as a carpenter. That opened my eyes to blue-collar work. My family always pushed college. My dad was a union laborer, but he still wanted me to get a degree. I went, but I didn’t like it. Being an electrician is what has finally defined my career.

“Before I joined the trades, I worked in urgent care and as an EMT. I saw everything: people who were stabbed or beaten, people who were terminally ill, and people OD’ing. I met people from every walk of life.

“The oddest job I ever had was helping my uncle with his trash business. We cleared out houses and hauled everything to the dump. It taught me to appreciate hard work, get dirty, and earn money, but also that I didn’t want to do that forever.

“The trades have been incredible. It’s a real skill set with no college debt, and once you finish the apprenticeship, no one can take that away from you.

“My mom raised me and my sister on her own, and she taught me to persevere. I got into the trades at 21, which is young, but her values set me up for success. Outside of work, I like hanging out with the guys. But at the end of the day, spending time with my eight-year-old daughter is my favorite activity outside of work.”

Site Supervisor Dan Dias got the call that Stanford Children's Hospital's backup power had gone out at 7:15am and quickly assembled the 332 team.

“We had to come up with a fix. You can’t operate without a backup generator and emergency power,” explained Dias. “The members showed incredible integrity. Everybody took personal responsibility to make this happen and protect the hospital.”

“Members relocated a 2,000 KW generator and connected it to the emergency switch gear. We ran over 15,000 feet of cables from the street, down the stairs, across the parking garage overhead, and then into the substation room. Each roll is probably 30-40 lbs, so stringing them all out from point A to point B was some heavy duty labor. The members didn’t complain, and they just did what needed to be done to make this happen.”

Welcome Chris Paup, 332's newest business rep!

Chris has been an active 332 member for a decade in the field, around the hall, and in the community. With such a deep commitment to our local, he was a natural choice to be the next 332 business representative as we expand our team to better serve the members.

Enthusiastic about his new role, Chris said, “I am looking forward to diving in to help our members within our local and serve the larger community with our partner organizations.”

Chris is also master sergeant in the CA Air National Guard, runs 332’s Veterans Committee, and will ensure members who are vets get access to 332’s full benefits and supports. And of course, Chris is committed to providing top notch representation for ALL members. He can be reached at cpaup@ibew332.org.
332 Business Manager Pete Seaberg joined 100+ IBEW leaders from across District 9 at Portland, Ore., Local 48 in October for a transformational summit on mental health.

“In all my years as a rep, I’ve never seen so many people engaged like that,” Ninth District International Representative Dave Myers said. “It was a day that defied all expectations.”

The agenda included sessions on employee assistance plans and suicide prevention, and dedicated time for networking and sharing best practices.

332 members have mental health benefits as part of our contracts. If you or someone you love is struggling, call the union hall for support.

Congratulations to September 2025 Apprentice of the Month Omar de Lara Sandoval!

“Before the apprenticeship, I worked at Costco and spent time as a carpenter. That opened my eyes to blue-collar work. My family always pushed college. My dad was a union laborer, but he still wanted me to get a degree. I went, but I didn’t like it. Being an electrician is what has finally defined my career.

“The work is incredibly rewarding. I come home knowing I’ve had a fingerprint on projects at Google, Apple, and world-renowned companies. It amazes me that we literally have our hands on the future of AI.

“My biggest influence is my father. When I felt stuck, he told me to apply to the IBEW because it’s the best union with great benefits and camaraderie. His guidance taught me how to be a man and provide for my family. Now I have a six-year-old daughter; my wife is due on December 31; and being a father is definitely my favorite hobby!”

When Stanford Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) lost its backup power, 332 members with Contra Costa Electric made efforts at that were nothing short of heroic to get it restored.

Site Supervisor Dan Dias got the call at 7:15am that backup power had been lost, and by 8am, the entire 332 team assembled from across the campus. Members stayed on until 4am to get the job done.

The backup power was lost at the height of California’s fire season, so if there had been a blackout, it could have been a crisis for the hospital and its patients. 

Pictured: Local 332 heroes who worked until 4am to restore Backup power at Stanford Children’s Hospital Crew: Jonathan Velasquez, Gurwinder Singh, Demetrios Tsaboukos, Corey Ramsey, Anthony Spadafore, Keven Alvarenga, Anthony Hernández, Spencer Yount, Nathan Nunes, Danny Cribbs-Chan, Dan Dias, Brandon Peña, Anthony Chak, Donovan Grant, Luke Hembree, Daniel Mendoza, Rob Dias, Steve Guzman, and Joel Sanchez. Not pictured: Marcus Lyberger, Mohamed Jalloh, John Francis, Samson Tonga, and Omar de Lara Sandoval.

Congratulations to August 2025 Apprentice of the Month Jacob Balster-Gee!

“My oddest job before the IBEW was being a lifeguard for the City of San Jose. I never knew what to expect, but it was pretty fun. I only had to save one person from drowning—a little kid who fell in without her life jacket.

“Once I interviewed for the apprenticeship, everything changed. I hate public speaking, so interviews are tough. But you only have to do that once, and now I get dispatched, and get raises and healthcare. It feels like someone’s looking out for me so I can get ahead.

“I love working with my hands and learning every day. I’m a bit of a nerd. I actually enjoy school, reading the textbooks–all of it. I want to keep learning as long as I can, and you can do that in the IBEW.

“I was born and raised in San Jose. My dad taught me work ethic, and my mom taught me to be kind and always do my best. I try to make them proud."

From Local 332 Business Manager Pete Seaberg: 

"I want to continue to offer my office and my position as your business manager as a resource. Please come in and talk with me, share how you’re doing, and how you’re feeling. Let me know your ideas, how you feel about how YOUR local is doing, and the direction we are going. We have made tremendous progress over the last several years, and with your input, our local can continue to grow.

Nearly every measurable metric has improved significantly. Work calls have doubled. Membership communications has skyrocketed with emails, texts, surveys, and summaries of general membership meetings. Wages have jumped higher, pensions are getting stronger, and we have  improved health benefits. We have exponentially more opportunities for members to get into apprenticeship programs. And of course, we have a wide range of union social activities to make new friends, see old ones, meet each other’s families, have fun, and volunteer to help our community.

Looking ahead to 2026, I am excited for all the opportunities for Local 332. Unlike so many other industries, our work picture is solid and growing. This means more work for you. We will also be able to bring in hundreds of new apprentices, organize more of our industry, open up even more opportunities for women and others to join our trade, and continue to build upon the successes of our predecessors. I hope you’re excited too."

Apprentices from Wilmington, Del., #IBEW Local 2270 were honored as the first graduating class of IBEW-educated railroad mechanical journeymen electricians in three decades, thanks to a recently negotiated IBEW-Amtrak training program.

“There hasn’t been an IBEW apprenticeship like this at Amtrak for over 30 years,” said Local 2270 President Frank Gentry.

The new program “is a great opportunity to get entry-level candidates in the door and working on these good union jobs,” Gentry said. “We will continue to fill jobs with qualified journeyman wiremen, but with this apprenticeship we also have the opportunity to extend offers to more men and women to join our ranks and learn the craft from seasoned IBEW instructors.”

Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was a labor activist as well as a civil rights leader and who was assassinated while speaking in support of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, TN.
In November, the IBEW introduced the Veterans Challenge Coin, not only as a way to honor our members who served in the military but also to strengthen camaraderie among veterans. 

This tradition has deep roots in IBEW history. Over a century ago, a similar coin was made for our members serving in World War I.

In 1918, the IBEW began publishing an Honor Roll in every issue of The Electrical Worker listing members from Canada and the United States who went overseas to fight. The lists were grouped by local union and compiled from honorary withdrawal cards that were issued to enlisted members. According to the lists, approximately 9,000 IBEW members, or 10% of the membership at the time, served in World War I.

Last month, #IBEW1245 and #IBEW112 hosted the IBEW P.A.L. (Politics, Activism, Livelihood) Training!

This program empowers our members to engage politically and support — or challenge — policies and politicians that impact our union and livelihoods.

Let’s keep up the momentum! 💪 #IBEW #unionstrong💪
In a whirlwind day of advocacy on Capitol Hill, local #IBEW leaders and members, including this group from California, attending the union’s Government Affairs Conference collectively took part in 176 meetings with Senate and House lawmakers from both parties. Armed with policy briefs on a wide array of IBEW priorities, and workers’ rights and safety more broadly, visitors explained how various bills would help their members or hurt them.

Among many issues, they urged support for the PRO Act to make it harder for employers to derail union organizing drives and argued against the Developing America’s Workforce Act, which would erode apprenticeship standards.

“I’m so proud of our members’ public service, which is critical to our fight for IBEW jobs and values,” International President Kenneth W. Cooper said, pointing out that thousands more offices are up for grabs in the U.S. and Canada in 2026. “We’d love to see some of your names on those ballots. But you can still make a huge difference by supporting and voting for pro-union candidates.”

At least 190 energy generation projects in 35 states worth almost $68 billion were canceled or postponed in the first 10 months of the Trump administration.

Because the IBEW was so successful in building labor protections into the Biden-era laws — requiring prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship participation, for example — most, if not all, of these jobs would have been the IBEW’s work.

The Trump administration and the Republican Congress also killed 25 federal investment programs, affecting more than 1,400 projects worth in excess of $1.1 billion.

“We fought for decades to get our country reinvesting in infrastructure, in domestic manufacturing, and giving union workers a fair shot at the work,” said #IBEW International President Kenneth W. Cooper. “Trump and the Republican Congress just killed all that for nothing.”

Locals across the U.S. are reaching out and training workers in the native language, and it’s yielding promising results.

Roughly 30% of construction workers are Latino, and their numbers are increasing. And while not all Latinos speak Spanish, these locals are finding that offering training materials, outreach and retention efforts in Spanish is helping them tap into a part of the construction workforce that previously was beyond their reach.

Jon Rowe, training director for Riverside, Calif., Local 440 and San Bernadino, Calif., Local 477, said the engagement is a way to bring in more workers, especially construction wiremen working in solar, many of whom only speak Spanish.

“It gives us another avenue for recruitment,” Rowe said, noting that the membership is supportive. “They see the need out on their jobsites.”

Rowe said the locals are not just offering Spanish language services but also English lessons.

“The goal isn’t to make everything in Spanish but to help members be able to work in English since jobsites and other areas of the construction industry are English-speaking,” he said.

332's newest apprentices volunteered to light up Liberty Tower senior housing complex for the holidays. Jessica Ko (first photo), Eduardo Acosta (second photo, left), and Jiselle Anguiano (third photo) had just gone through a 5-day ETASV boot camp, got their acceptance letters, and a few days later, they received an email to volunteer. They all jumped at the chance to help the community. That's how excited they are to be members and get involved with the union! They were scheduled for their first dispatch on December 1.

RENEW (and its counterpart NextGen in Canadian locals) were formed because the IBEW understood that young members are essential in growing the union’s power. Local 332 is proud of our RENEW members, including those who attended the RENEW/Next Gen Conference in Portland, OR, October 22-24. (First picture L-R Brendan Hillard, Esbardo Loredo, Jesus Gomez Garcia, Zahira Elmansoumi, Sarah Holmes, Kevin Novak, Andrew Hollerbach)

"Local committees must take an active role in their local unions’ day-to-day activities, said Civic & Community Engagement Director Jennifer Gray, who oversees RENEW at the International Office.

“The message is: How should we assist our local unions, whether that’s political activism, community engagement or organizing members?” Gray said. “To me, that’s key.”

This year’s conference included a conversation with international vice presidents, who spoke candidly about what leadership requires.

Fourth District International Vice President Austin Keyser said RENEW can be “about learning the things and the hard skills you need to be a leader.” He said the program is a success in getting younger members involved but told attendees that it is incumbent on them to learn the “foundational skills,” such as becoming an expert on legal terms in a collective bargaining agreement at their local, to be leaders and make the IBEW stronger."
