About this local

IBEW 702

Local 702 was founded on June 29, 1911 by a few men working in the electrical trade. They believed wages and working conditions should be that of a skilled craft and the best way to achieve that was to organize. These men and our early members are remembered for their desire to advance their trade and make it better for all brothers.
