Licensed electricians

IBEW Local 520 offers better opportunities for licensed electricians

Currently, thousands of electricians work in Central Texas, but are not covered under a Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Men and women who become members of IBEW Local 520 gain access to fully-paid family healthcare. Membership also provides retirement benefits such as a pension and 401k.

It is these fringe benefits — health insurance and retirement — that separate the union and non-union sector. Most non-union electrical contractors cannot provide benefits anywhere near the level received by those of Local 520 members.
