About this local
IBEW 420
Our Local 420 was established in November 1937. We currently have 17 Assistant Business Agents helping to support our members. Local 420 was established by the first business manager Francis Scully in 1937. Mr Scully went door to door of employees houses asking if they would be willing to create a union. There was enough buy in and Local 420 was born. Local 420 currently represents approximately 700 working men and women in CT. Our workforce is on the properties of Connecticut Light and Power, GDF Suez, NRG Generation, and Yankee Gas with many active contracts. Our mission is to protect the rights and safety of all our workers throughout these various contracts and different work locations.

Lineman Central's research team builds this page from local union submissions, industry reports, surveys, and other public data. We help locals share the basics with linemen. We don't claim every number is current year-round, and we're not a union ourselves. Book and wage numbers on this page always say where they came from. Always verify with the hall before you travel. See Terms for IBEW non-affiliation and data-accuracy notes.
