The Electrical Industry Advancement Fund is only one of the ways we can help build a strong industry. IBEW 213 advertising offers a year round presence in radio and print media to educate the market about the many advantages of hiring IBEW/ECA contractors.

IBEW 213 signatory companies enjoy other benefits, such as an efficient issues management mechanism and a partnership with an organization that actively pursues excellence in the field. We can access an international pool of workers, drawing qualified electricians from other jurisdictions when they are in short supply here and our workers receive continual safety training and upgrading courses.

Changing market conditions and the increasing demand for skilled labour mean businesses like yours must be able to respond. IBEW 213 can put its resources to work for you. New signatory companies can contract with us for a one year trial period. This gives us an opportunity to build a relationship and work together.

Joe Haug of Four Star Electric says: "The advantages of being a union company are very simple - when you need people, you get them! The IBEW offers a great apprenticeship program and my electricians get paid what they are worth. I've been with the IBEW for 25 years and I wouldn't do business any other way. The relationship is excellent."
