WHY JOIN

Electricians deserve more than a job. They deserve a career they can build a life around.

At IBEW 993, members work for competitive wages, with benefits, pension and retirement programs, ongoing training, and calls across Northern British Columbia and the Yukon.

Joining is also joining a team that stands behind you. Fair treatment on the job. Your rights. Your ticket. The next call. An organizer stays in that conversation. The form does not decide it.

Confidential. Not posted. Not a dispatch.
