You can offer future work with greater certainty in terms of base costs, and Local 213 will work with you to create the right teams for the job. A new electricity employer often signs a collective agreement with our union because their workers have taken the initiative and signed union cards to join the union. Another time, the management of the company calls us for voluntary recognition. There are many good reasons for an electrician employer to do this. The main reason is to have access to the union pool of skilled and qualified foremen, journeymen and apprentices, who form the basis of an electrician employer`s work. IBEW Local 213 represents the best in the electrical trade, and we maintain this quality by operating our own training centre and continually offering apprenticeship and craft courses to ensure our employees keep their knowledge at the forefront of the industry. Ron Fettback, General Superintendent, Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., said, “The union continues to look for ways to help us become competitive and offers new approaches to solving market problems.

The IBEW 213 is very fair to deal with and we have always been able to solve all the differences.

Ron Fettback, General Superintendent, Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., said, “We have been a signatory company since 1973. One of the main advantages is that a high-quality workforce is available at all times. Depending on the market, I can continue or reduce the size of large projects. Joe Haug of Four Star Electric said, “I`ve been with the IBEW for 25 years and I wouldn`t do business otherwise. The relationship is excellent. Dan Mott, President of Mott Electric Ltd., explains: “As a signatory company, we have access to a pool of well-trained, ready, able and willing to work professionals. Mott Electric has a 75-year relationship with FIOE 213. Like all relationships, it has been tested; but it has evolved into a true partnership based on collaboration.

This is a true testament to the success of the collaboration. IBEW Local 213 understands that the success of its members depends on the success of the undersigned employers. This reasoning underpins the development of the Fund for the Advancement of the Electrical Industry. Employers can use this fund to reduce their labour costs when they apply for contracts against non-unionized companies that pay lower wages. This is just one of the strategies that shows the new relationship between employers and unions. Supporting our members in securing work is the main objective by which the union is measured by the members. We know that working together to improve employer success means more work for Local 213 members. Establishing and maintaining good working relationships in an environment of mutual understanding is the best way to ensure the success of both. We are partners. This is Local 213`s commitment to our undersigned employers.
