Organizing Report – February 2024

Hello Brothers and Sisters.

I am honored to be your new Director of Organizing for Local 11. There have been some recent changes in our department. Zac Solomon is now the Organizer for the District 1 area, and Errol Cutley is the Organizer the District 2 area.

Our Organizing Department handles a wide variety of duties that help grow our local including organizing unrepresented workers, organizing contractors, organizing City of Los Angeles workers to be represented by Local 11, educating our members through C.O.M.E.T. training, putting on contractor classes for our members who have the desire to own an electrical shop, and putting more of our members to work. That list doesn’t include many other things that aid our efforts to make this a better local for us all.

Organizing is the lifeblood of any union. The number one objective of the IBEW Constitution is “To organize all workers in the entire electrical industry in the United States and Canada, including all those in public utilities and electrical manufacturing, into local unions.” It is our duty as members of this great union to continue to grow the IBEW in any way we can.

If you know anyone with electrical experience who is interested, or has questions about joining IBEW Local 11, please pass their information on to one of our organizers. Also, if you are interested in our contractor class that will be held May 6th through May 10th, please contact our organizing department at (626)-243-9702.

Thank you all for your continued representation of great craftsmanship and solidarity as Local 11 members.

Fraternally,
Alton Wilkerson
Director of Organizing
