Our union hall has by far the BEST people! I’m responding to Ron Johnson , he left a review that is NOT TRUE! First of all Ron, Oregon State Law requires anyone doing electrical work in the State MUST! Have an Electrical license. It’s not up to the union to hold your hand and help you get one! That’s on you! Maybe you should’ve checked the laws BEFORE moving to Oregon.

I've been a member for 18 years and have always felt like a true family member

Went in to get help about applying for school and the fronts desk gave me nothing but a run around. They did not choose to even inform me they weren’t accepting applications and instead choose to degrade me for asking questions.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is there any kind of layout in a "step by step" fashion of what the process is from beginning to end on how to apply, start and become an electrician? Where to start, what to expect, ect?

Andrew Duarte | Aug 16, 2020

From the NIETC.org website: "It is strongly encouraged to attend an orientation on the third Tuesday of any month at 16021 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97230 from 4 to 5PM." They walk you through the whole process at that orientation and answer any questions you have.

When are the next entry exams?

Hi Desi, Apprentices attend day school for one day per week for ten weeks per term. Every situation is unique in terms of time-frame and it is best to contact the apprenticeship office with questions specific to you. All of the information about the apprenticeship is located at this website: http://www.nietc.org/applications/apprenticeship-programs.html Thanks and good luck!

Who do I contact to find out about getting contact lenses for my wife through my vision plan?

Dasha Sann | Aug 17, 2019
IBEW Local 48 | Aug 17, 2019

Hi Alex, If you have Kaiser, you need to go through the Kaiser system but if you are on any other plan, you use the VSP (Vision Service Plan). Here's a link to the Harrison Trust site: https://www.ourbenefitoffice.com/Harrison/Benefits/HealthCare.aspx And here's a link to the VSP site: https://www.vsp.com If you have any questions or issues with those resources, please contact our plan administrator by calling (800) 547-4457. You can also call Local 48 at (503) 256-4848 if you have any trouble reaching the plan administrator. Hope this helps!

Torn between the low voltage and Commercial. Have a ton of experience in low voltage. (CenturyLink) and I have juvenile felony record. Which would be better suited for me?

Antonio Daniels (Tone Deaf Gaming) | Aug 17, 2018
IBEW Local 48 | Aug 17, 2018

While background checks are more prevalent in the low voltage industry, many customers (especially those in the tech industry) will require background checks for commercial work as well. Have you considered having your records sealed or expunged? That would be your best option, but regardless, you'll have more opportunities to work without having to background check in commercial work. Residential work is another option. Give us a call or an email and we can set up a time to talk more. If you've paid your debt to society, there is no reason your past should limit your future opportunity. Thanks for considering us.

Is there groundhand/operator work currently?

Isis Harris | Aug 17, 2018

It sounds like you're asking about entry level positions with Local 48. If that is correct the position you're looking for is called a Material Handler, and the website and dispatch can give you all the information you need to get started in that position. Good Luck!

Michael Dominguez | Aug 17, 2018
Isis Harris | Aug 17, 2018

Contact Christina Daniels, an organizer with Local 48 for information on the possibility childcare funding. You can find her contact information on the website. There are medical, dental, and vision benefits as well as pension!
