Building Unity Group (B.U.G) - Community Service
The IBEW Local Union 332 has a proud history of making a difference in the community and giving back to society. We touch the lives of our local neighbors through various kinds of community service, recognizing that we have a particular responsibility to be a good corporate citizen. Volunteers are always needed! Look for detailed information regarding these events on the website, at union meetings, in the IBEW 332 newsletter, and through mailers. Join us!

Political Action Committee
The IBEW 332 Political Action Committee (PAC) is set up to participate in COPE, the Committee on Political Education, which is the political arm of the labor movement.
COPE reports facts about political issues and candidates. It follows the voting records of elected officials. It helps educate members so we can vote intelligently and in the best interests of our families and the union.
We flex our union’s power by keeping politicians informed about our union’s positions on policies and interviewing/vetting political candidates for office. Join us!

Electrical Workers Minority Caucus
The EWMC is a strong advocate for greater minority representation in the IBEW. The EWMC is well-respected by the IBEW and the labor movement because of its commitment to the pursuit of socioeconomic justice as well as its dedication to ongoing community service. We are dedicated IBEW men and women who work to affect changes that will benefit minorities and the entire IBEW membership. The Caucus serves as a support and networking system, and we provide education and training for our members. Join us!

We cultivate diverse and effective leaders, bridge the generational gap within the local, create ties between labor and the community, and engage/mobilize union workers through internal organizing. Our meetings are the third Friday of every month from 4-5pm at the hall. Join us!

Veterans Committee
So many 332 members have served in the armed forces. The Veterans Committee is a place to share experiences, provide each other support, and support the larger Veteran community through outreach and volunteerism. 332 business rep–Chris Paup–who is also an active Master Sergeant in the California Air National Guard–is resurrecting the group. Email Chris to get involved.

332 Softball Team
The 332 Lightning Catchers is a fun way to kick it with other members on the field. We play in tournaments, and once a year, we do a Toys for Tots exhibition game where fans bring toys for charity. It’s just another way we can strengthen our bond with our union brothers and sisters. We have teamwork on the field the same way we have teamwork on the job. Join us or attend a game!

Golf Club
If you’d like to get outside, catch up with old friends, and meet some new ones, join the 332 Golf Club. We hold friendly monthly tournaments and get out in the spirit of camaraderie. It’s only as competitive as you make it. So whether you’re an avid golfer or just a beginner, come out with us to swing those sticks!
We are an associate club with the Northern California Golf Association and take qualified members to one or two NCGA competitive events each year. But mostly we’re a bunch of electrical workers (along with friends and family) who get together one Saturday each month (except December) to enjoy a day on a course.
Not ready to play? Come along as a guest, see what we’re about, and enjoy a front-row seat to the action—bonus points if you caddy for one of our older members!
