r/IBEW is a subreddit with 118k members. The community frequently discusses ibew, union, local, apprenticeship, and electrician, and they frequently recommend/review work boots, work pants, and tape measure, and the most common flair used is discussion post, ✊, meme, call. the. hall., and local xxxx.
A place to share between Locals and the membership. At the current time this is an UNOFFICIAL subreddit to the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) but it is advised to keep the same respect and leadership you would bring to a job site or Local. We are all here to help each other and gain knowledge.
