A - CE1 IBEW Local 553 Employee Review

A union that has your back every step of your apprenticeship. Benefits that rival most careers, especially in North Carolina.

No paid time off. Pay does not meet the COL. Contractors do not provide necessary tools for roles and responsibilities

IBEW Local 553 has gone through profound upper management changes and has resolved several serious policy and procedural issues. The overall work environment has improved; communication with union members and IBEW Union leadership alike has greatly improved. Teamwork among the staff is encouraged.

In light of the fact that this is a labor union of electrical workers, the upper management positions are elected positions from within the membership of the local. This organizational foundation of unions leads to the election of leadership personnel who may have little to no experience in business management. This poses unique challenges for the business of the union local.
