IBEW LOCAL 426

IBEW LOCAL 426 The bottom line is this: Local 426 is the people in it, and the people are the union. The nucleus of our Brotherhood formed in 1890 in St. Louis, Missouri.

On November 21, 1891 the first convention was called in St. Louis with ten delegates representing 286 members. One of the outcomes of this first meeting was the creation of the Preamble printed above, and the name of the organization – National Brotherhood of Electrical Worke
