The process of joining IBEW 213 usually begins when one or more non-union employees apply for IBEW 213 memberships and supply us with a list of the employees who work for their employer. Without revealing the source of this information, we contact the employees one by one or in groups to establish whether they also want to join. If most of the employees who work for an employer apply for memberships, we send copies of their membership applications to the Labour Relations Board along with an application to be certified as the group's bargaining agent. However, this is not the only path to IBEW 213 representation. Apprentices, construction electricians, and industrial workers each have their own. Please consult the pages under these headings to find out how you can become represented by one of the most effective trade unions in B.C.
