ORGANIZING
We earnestly invite all workers belonging to our trade to come forward, join our ranks and help increase our numbers, until there is no one working in our trade outside of our brotherhood.

Our History
-
November 28, 1891
(NBEW) was founded
the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (NBEW) was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, representing 286 members employed in the electrical industry. The goal? To look out for the people doing one of the toughest jobs in the country.

December 20, 1899
Canadian arm of the NBEW set roots down in Ottawa
It wasn’t long before the NBEW’s commitment to keeping people safe moved north. On December 20, 1899, the Canadian arm of the NBEW set roots down in Ottawa, and at its sixth convention in 1899, the name was changed from the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

1918-2020
Over One Hundred Years
Today, we represent members from coast to coast to coast – in every province and territory. And as the country advances into new electronic technologies, we do too. We now represent more than 780,000 members in all kinds of industries including: utilities, manufacturing, construction, telecommunications, cablevision, radio and television, shipyards, railroads, sound and alarm, appliance repair, motor shops, sign shops, pulp and paper mills, mining, and government.
IBEW Local 773 received its charter from the international office July 25, 1918. While the size of our brotherhood has changed, our commitment to keeping our brothers and sisters safe, highly skilled, and being there for the country, 24/7, 365 days a year (and 366 days on leap years) will never waver.
The IBEW has members in both the Canada and the United States.
