The IBEW Ninth District carries that fight forward every single day. We are pushing for stronger safety protections, mental health resources, wages that keep up with the cost of living, secure retirements, world-class training and apprenticeship opportunities for the next generation, and respect.

Because of the labor movement, we have the 40-hour workweek, weekends off, safer workplaces, fair wages, health care, pensions, apprenticeships, and the right to organize. These victories were fought for and won by workers standing shoulder to shoulder to secure a better future.
