Benefits of being an IBEW Local 322 contractor
As a union contractor, you have access to a supply of qualified manpower. IBEW Local 322 has over 400 tradesmen and tradeswomen in good standing, with more being trained every year. Across the country, the IBEW has more than 840,000 members, who all receive similar training and are ready to work in any state. Local 322 supplies our contractors with only highly skilled, highly trained, fully licensed and drug tested qualified electrical workers and apprentices. You can hire an employee for one week or a lifetime – depending on your needs. For example, if you win a bid on a three-month project, which requires 30 electricians, you will not have to interview any candidates or suffer the risks if you make a bad hire. You will have the necessary manpower on the date you need, with the knowledge they will all be qualified professionals. All it takes is a single phone call. Furthermore, you are not stuck with an employee who does not work out for your company. We will work with you, to make sure your team works. When the project ends, you can take however many electricians you need to your next project, while the Local will work to place the remaining electricians in jobs with other signatory contractors.
Local 322 provides industry leading training through our Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC). This department of the union/contractor team is charged with the responsibility of training all apprentices and the continuing education of our journeymen, masters and supervisors. Our JATC is registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, guaranteeing a high level of instruction and training to both apprentices and journeymen. Upgrade and continuing education classes are also available for journeymen!
