IBEW Local 48 is 17 Percent More Productive

17 percent more of anything is a lot. If someone gave you $1.17 for every dollar you gave him, you'd take that deal all day long, right?

We are the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 48, in Portland, Oregon. Our skilled craftsmen and women are the most productive in the industry. In fact, according to a study by Independent Project Analysis Incorporated, we are 17% more productive than other electricians.

The moral of the story is the wage you might pay union craftsmen and women - comes back to you in higher returns on your project.
