The IBEW stands against bullying and sexual harassment.

It’s about more than just the job, it’s about supporting workers, building stronger communities, mentoring the next generation, and standing up for human and workers’ rights.

Unions are strongest when we lift each other up on and off the job site. ⚡💙✊

We all have the power to make a difference. Stay engaged, look out for one another, and be the change you want to see.

Move over, Bob. 🤎🩷💛🖤🩵❤️💚💜🧡🤍
Is a media initiative elevating women in the trades.

Make room for the next generation of women builders. We love what the team at Move Over Bob is doing to introduce young women to careers in construction, engineering, and the trades.

By replacing outdated stereotypes with real life role models and unfiltered experiences on the job site, they are helping girls realize their true capability.

Want to support the movement or get a copy for a future builder? Head over to Move Over Bob Shop to browse their digital zines and magazine issues. Let’s build something great! 👷🏿‍♀️👷‍♀️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏻‍♀️👷🏽‍♀️👷🏼‍♀️ 👷🏿‍♀️👷‍♀️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏻‍♀️👷🏽‍♀️👷🏼‍♀️

Hey sisters and brothers. Just a reminder to all apprentices, don’t overthink the essay for the Tradeswomen Build Nations opportunity.

It does not have to be long, fancy, or complicated. Just speak from the heart about how you’d use what you learn to help your fellow apprentices, sisters, brothers, and our local. Authenticity means more than perfection ⚡️. Good luck to everyone applying.

Hey everyone! Quick clarification for those interested in applying for the upcoming conference.

To be eligible, apprentices just need to be a 2–1 Apprentice at the time of the conference in October. So if you’re currently a 1–2 but will be a 2–1 by then, you are still eligible to apply.

That means apprentices who will be anywhere from 2–1 through 4-2 in October are welcome to submit an application. If you’re on the edge of that upgrade, don’t count yourself out, you still qualify based on your status at the time of the event.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out 😍🌟.

Have an awesome safe rest of your week⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️.
