The IBEW is calling on all members to mobilize now and urge their members of Congress to oppose any bills that would impose bans on data center construction and to instead support strong labor standards for these projects.

As Congress considers policies on the expansion of data centers, some proposals would halt construction entirely. Such bans would directly harm IBEW members by eliminating good-paying union construction jobs, limiting work opportunities, and stunting economic growth in the communities where members live and work.

When built responsibly, data centers provide IBEW members with steady work, high wages, and long-term career opportunities in a booming sector. This is why Congress should reject one-size-fits-all bans and instead support a worker-first approach that protects labor standards, apprenticeship and training programs, and projects that deliver real benefits to IBEW members and their communities.

SCAN THE QR CODE AND LET YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATORS KNOW THAT WE NEED THIS WORK TO FEED OUR FAMILIES!

Local 102 has a very strong connection to Labor Day. The holiday was founded right here in Paterson NJ. This is an excerpt from The New Historical Society connecting the City of Paterson to our holiday:

Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.
According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.
