Data centers mean high wages for IBEW members, career opportunities, and economic growth, but only when built with strong labor standards.

Tell Congress to reject data center bans and support worker-first policies like PLAs, apprenticeships, and responsible contractors. Write to your members of Congress today. https://bit.ly/4skuOvC

Attention Texas electricians and apprentices:

TDLR has announced proposed rule changes for Chapter 73, Electricians, with official publication in the Texas Register scheduled for April 10, 2026. Public comments will be accepted through May 11, 2026.

The proposal is expected to address a new journeyman electrician education-program pathway along with related examination and training provisions.

IBEW 278 encourages all members of the trade to review the published proposal carefully once it is released and consider submitting comments.

If you care about licensing standards, training quality, supervision, safety, and the future of the electrical trade in Texas, pay attention to this process.

More information will be shared after publication.
