Licensed electricians
IBEW Local 520 is dedicated to ensuring that licensed electricians in Central Texas receive the recognition and compensation they deserve.
By becoming a member, you'll gain access to a comprehensive benefits package, including fully-paid family healthcare, retirement plans, and opportunities for ongoing professional development.
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.
Stay ahead of the curve with IBEW Local 520's continuing education opportunites
