Joe Biden is fighting to rebuild America with union jobs. Let’s help him make it happen. We can build back better, but anti-worker Senators want to exclude IBEW members by removing Davis-Bacon and other labor standards from the infrastructure jobs of the future. Our crumbling infrastructure desperately needs investment. And the workers who rebuild it need good union jobs with decent pay and benefits, not piecemeal employment for low wages and scant benefits.We can modernize our electric grid, expand access to broadband internet, invest in our transportation sector, including public passenger rail and our ports, and rebuild our roads, bridges, and airports. We cannot allow this long-sought legislation to become a $1 trillion handout to corporations and Wall Street interests.Our investment must create and sustain good-paying union jobs with strong labor protections. America can’t grow if we don’t invest in good American jobs. Sign the petition telling our leaders to invest in America’s infrastructure and secure the future for America’s workers.

The IBEW local 136 General meeting for the month of September has been canceled. The decision was made by the Executive Board and approved because of the concern for the safety, health and well-being of our members and their families during this serious illness situation involving the COVID-19 virus.

The IBEW local 136 Labor Day Cookout has been canceled due to the increase in cases of COVID in the state and the local. The safety of our members is the reason for this decision and will always be more important than anything we do. We have all lost enough through this pandemic and must do our part to stop it from getting worse.

Most everyone knows our Brothers and Sisters with the Mine Workers have been involved in a long strike against Warrior Met Coal in Brookwood. Anyone not working on August 4 is invited to come out in support for this rally. Wear you Union Shirts and other paraphernalia.
