Founded around the turn of the 20th century in 1891 as a part of the AFL, The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) emerged out of simply horrid working conditions for electrical workers.
At the time of their founding, being an electrical worker meant making about $10 a week, low even for the era and a death/injury rate that was double other industrial jobs.
At one point a staggering 1 out of 2 linemen and wiremen died on the job in certain cities.
Thus the IBEW was largely founded to give these workers the working conditions that all Americans today would consider a fundamental human right.

A common, prevailing notion in the Connecticut construction industry is that it costs more to work with organized electricians or electrical contractors.
Connecticut's electrical customers and business owners are increasingly recognizing this as a myth.
Sure, you can always go lowest dollar on anything in life.
However, it is also always true that you get what you pay for.
Going for the lowest bottom dollar in any building carries risks, sometimes serious ones.
In a situation where an electrician or electrical shop is "non-affiliated, " workers may often have less training, the company may be less stable, and this poses the risk of greater work place and job site uncertainty and accident risk.
