IBEW & LOCAL 684
The story of the International Brotherhood of Electricians (IBEW) extends beyond the Local 684 —one of hard work, skill, and courage. The IBEW’s goal has remained steady since the beginning: to promote excellence in the electrical industry and improve our members’ lives.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) is the most established and extensive electrical union in the world, existing as long as the commercial use of electricity. From the beginning, workers realized the importance—and danger—of electricity. As the industry grew, electricians began organizing themselves and setting the stage for increased safety measures, fair pay, and a better standard of living.
