Compliance Report — October 2023

In September, the IBEW 11 Compliance Department had the pleasure of hosting over 50 prevailing wage compliance auditors from the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and 50 labor compliance professionals from various cities and school districts. This gathering was the first time since 2019 where many compliance professionals from various agencies gathered to discuss high and low impact complaints and best practices. IBEW 11 provided attendees a tour of the ETI, and the Compliance Department conducted a presentation reviewing common violations in the electrical industry and providing often overlooked examples under the Inside Wireman, ITS and Sound agreements.

We enforced our message that “conduit is not pipe” and explained how the decisions made by these individuals when performing oversight and compliance efforts dramatically impact safety standards and the integrity of the electrical industry.
