Our MIssion

A message from Business Manager/Financial Secretary Michael McDermott:

I would like to pay tribute to all of our past members whose sacrifices, energy, imagination, and commitment have brought us to the end of our first century as a local union. What a tremendous legacy they have given to us and to those who will follow. The benefits of their existence and determination are so very evident to all of us today. The struggles of the past have provided the rewards of the present. A fair wage, life and health insurance, an annuity plan, vacation fund, a national pension plan, and the home of our local union, "The IBEW Building," are just part of the legacy our past members and retirees have given us. Our 110th Anniversary is the right time for all of us to pause and reflect on these blessings.

The electrical workers and staff here at Local 81 understand that achieving and maintaining our high standard of living is directly connected to key investments. Skilled craft training, ongoing education, community support and civic responsibility all work hand in hand to ensure that the electrical professionals here in northeastern Pennsylvania not only meet the industry standards, but consistently exceed and set them. It’s for this reason that the leading electrical contactors who look to us for support are the most successful in the region.
