IBEW Local 9 Home

Welcome to the World Wide Web home of Local No. 9 IBEW. Established in 1892, our membership has grown to serve 2,400 men and women throughout the greater Chicagoland area and beyond.

Our goals and objectives at Local No. 9 mirror those of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers stated in the Preamble of the IBEW's first constitution:

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;
to promote reasonable methods of work;
to cultivate feelings of friendship among those of our industry;
to settle all disputes between employers and employees;
to assist each other in sickness or distress;
to secure employment;
to reduce the hours of daily labor;
to secure adequate pay for our work;
to seek a higher and higher standard of living;
to seek security for the individual;
to seek by legal and proper means to elevate the moral, intellectual and social conditions of our members, their families and dependents, in the interest of a higher standard of citizenship.

We at Local No. 9 strive daily to meet these goals and to master the new challenges that face us in today's changing world.

We have developed this website to be a source of information about our union and our membership.
