A new report by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute and the Project for Middle Class Renewal outlines how union-affiliated apprenticeship programs in Wisconsin are creating the vast majority of new apprentices in the skilled trades. The report also notes the strong economic outcomes for workers participating in union programs: Union journeyworkers earn a median wage 41% more than their nonunion counterparts. The typical union construction worker earns 24% more than a worker with a bachelor’s degree and 5% more than a worker with a master’s degree. “We’re not just training workers—we’re building middle-class careers, creating ladders of opportunity, and ensuring Wisconsin employers have the skilled workforce they need to thrive," said Emily Pritzkow, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Building Trades Council.

Congratulations to Sara Goldie and Walker Speakman on their new baby Audrey! We're always excited to welcome a new member of the Local 332 family. From Sara: "Walker is a 595 Sound and Comm member (has been for nearly 14 years now!!) working in fire alarm, and I graduated from our Inside Wireman apprenticeship in 2022. I've been so excited to share our growing family with my IBEW family - my brothers and sisters at the jobsite were some of the first people I told when I was pregnant! "Our local has always been so family-oriented. I love that everyone talks about their families, offers pregnancy and parenting advice and hand-me-down baby gear, brings their families to 332 events, and shares their news at work so we can all celebrate with them. My IBEW brothers and sisters have been part of every milestone in my life since joining, sharing the joys and supporting through the struggles, and have welcomed Audrey since before she was even born. We're so excited that our daughter gets to grow up in our IBEW family!" If you'd like to share your family's milestones — new babies, graduations, and weddings — with your 332 family over social, please send pictures and what you'd like to say over to Pete Seaberg at pseaberg@ibew332.org

Even in the most unlikely places, like rural Louisiana, huge data centers are getting built—and need thousands of highly skilled electricians to build them. “The explosive growth in the data center industry is a wave we are perfectly placed to ride. The stakes are high for our customers, and the work needs to be of the highest quality and on the shortest timelines. We were made for this,” said International President Kenneth W. Cooper. “We have to keep our own history in mind, though. We have to be smart about how we meet this moment. The interests of the IBEW, our contractors and customers must align if we are all going to benefit over the long term. And the long-term growth of the IBEW has to be where we focus.” Read more at the link in our bio.

The AI revolution may eliminate all kinds of jobs, but it’s also creating new work—and lots of it, for skilled tradespeople. Google recently pledged $10 million for vocational training and apprenticeship programs. The money will also boost the skills of the existing workforce through like the Electrical Training Alliance, the #IBEW union and other organizations, to increase the supply of electrical workers by 70% by the end of the decade.

The #IBEW leads the way in safety. Retiring 4th District International Vice President Gina Cooper recently reminded some of the nation’s top utility regulators and executives that the IBEW must be a leader in workplace safety and developing rapid response plans to weather emergencies. It’s a responsibility that comes with being the world’s largest electrical union, she said. “When the power goes out, when infrastructure is damaged, and when communities are at their most vulnerable, it is IBEW members, alongside first responders, who step in to restore essential services,” Cooper said.

Congratulations to the winners of the annual #IBEW Your Union, in Full Color photo contest! Second Place ($1,000) Darren Asuncion Anchorage, Alaska, Local 1547 Using his iPhone, Darren Asuncion captured this beautiful view on Alaska’s Kodiak Island. Fellow Local 1547 member Michell Kane looks into the distance during a break installing a “hub” jump while working for the Kodiak Electric Association. Essentially, workers perform an electrical jump where the blades attach at the highest point of a wind turbine. The work is dangerous if not done safely but also offers stunning views like this. “It was a fabulous day,” said Asuncion, a foreman for Kodiak Electric. “I took out my phone and started taking some pictures.” Check out the rest of the winners and the stories behind the photos at the link in our bio.

Engaging youth while they're still deciding what to do after high school is the best time. "With construction on the rise and college tuition prohibitively expensive for many, more high school students are taking a look at the trades. St. Louis Local 1 and Minot, N.D., Local 714 are two locals among many in the IBEW that are meeting this moment. “We need these kids coming into the trade,” Local 714 Business Manager Bob Wolf said. “And if they come in ready, if they come in with that clay, we’ll mold them.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there will be at least 80,000 net new jobs for electricians every year over the next eight years, roughly twice the rate of all other trades. And increasingly, young people are looking to the trades for a debt-free and rewarding career. One report found that 93% of Generation Z graduates and 80% of parents said learning a skilled trade can be a better route to economic security than college." Read more at the link in our bio.

Congratulations to the winners of the annual #IBEW Your Union, in Full Color photo contest! First Place ($1,000) Bobby Vredenburg New City, N.Y., Local 363 Bobby Vredenburg took this picture of fellow Local 363 member John Carlstrom while the two worked underground and repaired an automatic transfer switch. All the wires shown are routed into the manhole from the bus, a conducting system that connects different parts of a circuit or power system. “I like that it shows the beginning of what we had to do and how much of a mess we had to figure out,” said Vredenburg, a journeyman wireman who used a Google Pixel 3 camera. “That’s all the wires right after they are pulled. We had to figure out what goes where and make them look nice before we passed them on for them to bolted into the bus up top.” Vredenburg was working for signatory contractor Perreca Electric.

From #IBEW Local 332 President Pete Seaberg: "Wages, pensions, and family health insurance are the foundational benefits that define the outstanding value of being an IBEW member. Local 332 members and leaders have worked hard and fought to maintain and improve these benefits over 113 years, and we’ll never stop doing so. We are one of the best, highest paid locals in the IBEW nationally, and I intend to keep it that way! Recently, I had a couple of unfortunate conversations with members who wanted to retire but couldn’t. I realized that many of our members have not been given the education and tools to understand your pensions and how to maximize your financial potential in retirement. I have made it my personal mission to ensure that all 332 members understand the significance of all your union benefits–particularly the immense power of your pension plans. We are attacking this situation aggressively from multiple angles with member workshops, apprentice education, and online seminars. As a reminder, our Part B plan adviser Mike Vukson also does quarterly education and is available before each union meeting to answer your questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me here at the hall if you would like to learn more about your pension plans." Read more at the link in our bio.

Congratulations to Aaron Badillo, who won 2nd place overall at this year's ETASV Apprentice Skills Tournament! "I knew I was up against some really great wiremen, so when they called my name I was gobsmacked! I didn’t win any of the individual events, nor did I win third, so I was thinking I was going to walk away empty-handed. But when they called my name for second, I couldn’t believe my ears! The best part was having my family there–especially my fiancée. We carpool, so she spent many long hours often at night waiting in the parking lot while I was at the training center. So it was the best feeling that she could rejoice with me. I hope this helps me get into the Inside program. That would be a bigger achievement than the competition. I want to keep going with my career and get it to the next step." Learn more about Aaron and see more photos from the competition at the link in our bio. #IBEW #apprentice #apprenticeship

From #IBEW Local 332 Business Manager Javier Casillas: "Are you taking care of yourself? Many of us are experiencing confusion because of what’s happening in the world. The chaos and white noise are designed to sow self-doubt, create nothing but anger, and turn us against each other. I am concerned this is landing with our members and causing anxiety about our collective future. However, we are the authors of our own story and do not have to fall for their divide and conquer game. "We may disagree about some things, but we share a lot of experiences. None of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouths or a trust fund. We all deal with the daily grind. We wake up, get our families ready, and get ourselves off to work. Mix in a few weddings, birthday parties, and union events, and it’s a very busy life. We get pulled in so many directions between people’s problems, the shop giving us another set of mis-directions they call drawings, and feeling exhausted. We try to steal a few moments to relax and scroll social media, and we’re met with angry political posts. It feels like there is no relief. "I am here to remind you it's OK to be overwhelmed. That’s completely normal, and IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP! Your union brothers and sisters have your back and are here to support you." Read more at the link in our bio.

"San Bernardino, Calif., #IBEW Local 477 officials saw attempts by the union trades to form a working relationship with their community’s public school district come up short for more than a decade. So just over two years ago, Political Director Ben Pratt and others within the local decided to try something new. “I think the old playbook of storming into a school board or city council meeting and asking for something with nothing in return just doesn’t work,” said Pratt, who also serves as Local 477’s vice president. “You have to lay the groundwork by proving beyond rhetoric that you do offer something. This is a symbiotic relationship between the district and us.” The work paid off Feb. 5, when the San Bernardino City Unified School District Board voted unanimously to approve a community works agreement, or CWA, between it and the Inland Empire Building Trades Council. Local 477 was the lead negotiator for the council. “Until it happened, I never would have imagined it would have been by a 7-0 vote,” said Pratt, who has lived in San Bernardino nearly his entire life and whose children attended the city’s schools."

Congratulations to Tyler Lerma, who won first place overall at this year's ETASV Apprentice Skills Tournament! "I thought I might have done well enough to hit the podium, but when they called second and third, I got scared. But then they called my name that I had won! So much went through my head in that one moment. I thought about how far I had come. I dropped out of college, didn’t know what I was going to do, and had a bunch of dead-end jobs. Then I decided to become an electrician. In that moment when I won, it was a total release of the emotions of everything I had been through."

From #IBEW International President Kenneth Cooper & Excelon CEO Calvin Butler: "Partnerships between local energy companies and labor demonstrate what a robust, economy-spurring energy system requires. By prioritizing workforce development and innovation, we can continue leading the world in grid reliability and technology. It means industry can adapt and thrive, spurring prosperity through creation of jobs that sustain families. Our industry can and must be a source of solutions to the economic challenges in our communities. America’s competitive advantage hinges both on the skill and ingenuity of our workforce and the resilience of our critical infrastructure. Readying our power grid for the future — and increasingly, for the present — requires a workforce uniquely equipped to design, install and maintain a system that integrates increased energy production, new energy sources, smart grid technologies and energy storage."
