The Signatory Status Advantage
Electrical contractors who use manpower from I.B.E.W. Local 8 deliver significant, cost-effective advantages to customers in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan – bottom-line advantages that save money for contractors and the project owners who hire them.
First and foremost, signatory union contractors have access
to thousands of highly trained union electrical professionals.
I.B.E.W. Local 8 furnishes these electricians and technicians to
the signatory electrical contractors who bring world-class
construction, maintenance and installation service to every
project.
Electrical contractors who use manpower from I.B.E.W. Local 8 deliver total electrical solutions in an environment where quality, craftsmanship, safety and productivity are the rule. I.B.E.W. Local 8 members work in commercial, industrial and residential construction markets, as well as voice/data/ video communication, maintenance, HVAC, manufacturing, sign shops, alarm systems, photovoltaic and other alternative (Green) technologies.
Top Talent Recruitment
Our apprenticeship program continuously recruits and trains the best and brightest people available so that it can provide signatory electrical contractors with a workforce that is second to none at a cost for contractors of only pennies an hour to train that workforce. As one of the most productive workforces in North America, Local 8 electricians install projects on time, within budget and done right the first time – saving the owner money in the long run.
The quality healthcare and retirement plans offered to I.B.E.W. Local 8 members are a further assurance of drawing the top talent for our contractors.
Fringe Benefits – A Strong Employee Motivator
Cost savings are further realized and productivity is enhanced by signatory contractors because their employees receive quality benefits such as a pension and medical coverage. Providing these benefits through our industry helps us to have a large group of workers in which we can provide cost savings while maximizing benefits.
As an example, our health insurance covers 5,000 lives, giving us enough participants to self-insure, which allows us to provide a more cost-effective plan.
These benefits help us ensure that our workers are well-motivated and are always at their best so they can perform their jobs.
