We are Now an Official Member of the IBEW Local Union 98!

For over sixty years, we have been providing the Philadelphia region with quality electrical work and service as an electrical contracting firm and third party agency. We make safety a priority and operate with a skilled team of technicians who are certified and experienced. Recently our level of expertise and excellent workmanship has taken our company to new heights. On April 28, 2016, we signed with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union 98 to be accepted as an official member. We are extremely proud to announce our new membership with the Local 98 union and look forward to embarking on future projects that were previously unavailable to us due to the requirements of benefits and wages.

 

Our workers pay attention to every detail to make sure the property is safe and secure. We take pride in being the electrical company our customers can trust. Making sure no job is overlooked, adhering to safety regulations, and providing quality service has allowed us to join the Local 98 as a member, being that their mission is to deliver the best level of electrical work. Our next electrical projects will entail work in new environments like city high rises and skyscrapers. As a certified union company, we will take on new projects in the heart of Philadelphia and expand our customer base. We will also be able to network with other members of the union and contribute to the chapter’s activism.

 

Through the union, many new benefits are offered to us, such as the right to address unsafe work environments, and the peace of mind in having employment security. While we will still be offering services such as electrical inspection in Montgomery County, PA, we are pleased to be able to service the city of Philadelphia as well. As we finish up our first week as an electrical union company, we have already signed contracts with customers and are embarking on our next phase of work. Those who need electrical inspection in Philadelphia, as well as electrical services and underwriting, can depend on our dedicated team.

 

The IBEW Local 98 was first chartered in 1900 and has gone on to enlist devoted electricians throughout the years who worked diligently to build the city with their skilled workmanship and union solidarity. The union continues to flourish and prosper with their unwavering mission to deliver their partners with the most skilled and trained electrical technicians of the field.
