Key Benefits
Manpower:
A virtually unlimited supply of trained and skilled electricians
is literally just a phone call away. When you have an abundance
of work you simply call the union hall and request the number
of employees needed. When work is slow, you simply send your
excess employees back to the union hall.
Training:
Our apprentice electricians serve in a New York State approved
five-year program. They receive on the job training, as well
as 185 hours of classroom/lab instruction per year in
all aspects of the electrical trade. The training program
also provides training to all classifications of electricians
as well as upgrade courses in new codes and technologies. The
result is an employee who is well trained in all aspects of
the electrical construction industry.
Stability:
With a collective bargaining agreement you will have the
peace of mind in knowing exactly what your labor costs will
be from year to year for a specified period of time.
Collective bargaining agreements are typically three
years in length, and are negotiated between union and
employer representatives.
Safety:
Our members are trained in OSHA 10, First Aid & C.P.R.,
and various other electrical safety related programs.
This training is provided at no cost to you, so our
members are ready to work as soon as they hit the job-site.
Workforce Quality:
Our members are participants in the “Code of Excellence Program”.
This innovative new program ensures that you are 100% satisfied
with the union electricians on your job-sites.
