Ibew

Represents more than 2000 electrical workers from the Baltimore area and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We pride ourselves on being the best-trained and most-qualified inside electricians, maintenance electricians, sign workers, test technicians and voice-data-video technicians in the region. Local 24 provides its members with all the benefits of union representation that help them and their families live better lives. Local 24 partner contractors are the best prepared in the industry, with a large, well-trained workforce able to handle any project.

IBEW Local 24 and the Maryland Chapter, National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), sponsor unsurpassed training programs for our members and apprentices through our Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (J.A.T.C.). Through the J.A.T.C., Local 24 apprentices are trained and prepared for meaningful and rewarding careers as union electricians and technicians. With our state-of-the-art training facility, Local 24 offers an educational program approved by the Bureau of Apprenticeship, U.S. Department of Labor, and the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has been striving to reach its goals of improving conditions for electrical workers since 1891, when 10 linemen frustrated with the pay, conditions, and fatalities of the trade, united to form this great union. The IBEW has a long and proud history in Baltimore and throughout the state of Maryland. Our predecessor, Local 28 was chartered on October 1, 1900, and served the city of Baltimore and surrounding counties until August 1961. Local 24 received its charter on August 27, 1961; the original charter resides in the lobby of the local business office and lists the names of the 27 original charter members.
