Of the many things that bind together Powering Chicago’s union contractors and electricians, at the top is the shared investment in communities. It’s no secret that union electricians care about their communities and give back often. 

Another example of this commitment to the community, members of the IBEW Local 134 recently volunteered their time and talents to repair wiring at a building purchased by South Chicago Parents and Friends, a nonprofit organization that’s dedicated to supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. IBEW volunteers went through the whole building, giving the electrical system a clean bill of health. The story was featured on ABC 7’s Built to Last, an Emmy-nominated program that features trade union members and contractors from around the Chicagoland area.
