[color=blue:f1380bff1d]Hi Zachl,

There are two very prominent labor unions representing workers within the electrical field; the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, http://www.ibew.org, and the International Union of Operating Engineers, http://www.iuoe.org. There are also many other labor unions which can and do represent workers within the electrical field. Anyone interested in becoming a member would need to contact each on an individual basis and request information specific to applying for membership within each f the labor unions.

Please consider posting about your organizing experience in our new site feature, http://www.myunionspace.com. Thank you for the opportuntity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again.

Fraternally,
