2018 Elections 
The Department of Labor considers Local Union owned websites and message boards an asset of the Local Union. DOL regulations prohibit the use of Local Union assets for the purposes of campaigning.
At this time Local 280's message board does not have the ability to monitor, on a real-time basis, and prohibit certain posted messages to be seen by all members.
To avoid a possible conflict or DOL violations, the message board and the membership directory will shut down at 4:30 p.m. on April 19, 2018. It will remain shut down until the election results have been determined in June.
Union Hall Closure 
The Union Hall will be closing at 3:00 p.m. on Friday May 25th and will be closed on Monday, May 28th in observance of Memorial Day. We wish all of you a safe Holiday!

The Beginning...
Henry MillerHenry Miller, the first President of the IBEW, died in 1896 without enough money for a decent burial. Miller was not alone. In the early part of the 20th century accidental electrocution among people employed in the electrical industry occurred with such frequency that many insurance companies refused to insure the lives of electrical workers. Others set the premiums so high that the typical electrical worker could not afford to maintain life insurance for his or her survivng family. In response to this dilemma members of the IBEW established a fraternal death benefit association in 1922 whose essential purpose was to provide the named beneficiary of a deceased member a sum that might permit our members to be interred in a dignified manner. That was later merged with the IBEW Pension Benefit Fund. You can view more on that here. Also, if you click on the picture above you will be able to view a short movie detailing how the IBEW came about.
