The members, officers and staff of IBEW Local 14 would like to welcome you to our home page.  Establishment of this site is part of an on going effort to inform the general public of the benefits and opportunities available when you become a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a better standard of living for the men, women and families in the Electric Construction Industry.  Although ninety percent of our members are engaged in construction work, our charter allows us to represent those involved in electric maintenance, electrical manufacturing, electric sign, telecommunications and some professional engineering occupations.

 Jurisdiction

IBEW Local 14 has over seven hundred members and services the western 40% of Wisconsin.  Our jurisdiction extends along a line from the southern borders of Crawford and Richland Counties through Iron County in Wisconsin, and Allamakee County Iowa.  In addition to our main office in Brackett, we have field offices in La Crosse and Cumberland with representatives ready to answer to your concerns.

 Ongoing Commitment

IBEW Local 14 is part of the ongoing training partnership established by the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.  The NJATC is a recognized industry leader in curriculum development and program planning.  Every year the NJATC expends large amounts of money to upgrade curriculum in their construction, maintenance and telecommunications apprenticeship programs.  As technology advances our members are prepared to deal with changes that effect our employers and their customers. IBEW Local 14 enjoys a good working relationship with the employers and employers association and can provide them with the most highly trained workers in the world.

If you are interested in becoming an IBEW member or wish to apply for an apprenticeship, give us a call.  We will be more than willing to answer your questions.
