Organizer Report – Sound & Communications

Happy New Year Unit 9! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones and are starting this year well. Bringing in a new year gives us time to take a step back and see the bigger picture of being a member of IBEW Local 11. A reminder of how we got here and how it all started. It could be that you applied online, saw a union sticker, or a friend gave you some advice and a number to call.

There are many ways to become a member of this great union, but what really matters is that we are now here making good wages and enjoying great benefits. As we bring in 2026 and add another year of membership, let’s pass on that information that we once got. You could be working right next to an unrepresented electrical worker who doesn’t know where to start, and we as organizers can spread the union word.

Stay safe!
