Ask any IBEW member that receives work out a union hall, that signs a out of work book. Local 134 is contractor controlled. Local 134 has to many members and there is not enough work for all of them. Why this is true is because contractors complain there is not enough cheap labor so they allow massive amounts of apprentices into the program including minority quotas agreed with City of Chicago for $1 leases for building spaces for JATC school (West Side). Apprentices top out, the ones that don't play by the rules will be layed off first and most have to travel. The members that don't work through breaks and lunches, have saftey concerns or make waves are labeled as trouble. The members that illegally look for their own work and not referred by the local's bylaws referral system are the ones rewarded and are furloughed again illegally. This local considers 600-800 on the book as fully employed which forces this Local to be closed to travelers from better locals. The IO allows this over manning to force 134 members to travel and man work around the country and to man McCormick Place show calls. The Local brainwashes it's member to think they are better than many other local members. I know this to be fact as I am a 32 year member of this Local and experienced both sides of the fence.

Thank God for Local 134. Keeping good paying jobs to provide a decent living. Beautiful state of the art architecture in our new office space. All Union built.

Great Local, they have accomplished great strides to improve the lives of Union members. One of IBEW's finest.

I went up there to get some information with my man. The lady on the phone was very rude. She couldn't answer any of his questions. No matter how simple a question may be you cannot expect people to know everything about unions.. The whole point of your job as a customer service operator is to BE KIND AND KINDLY ANSWER questions and inform those who seek it. OTHERWISE IF EVERYTHING IS ON GOOGLE THAN WHY DO WE NEED CUSTOMER SERVICE OPERATORS??? Especially with a bad attitude. Please hire more respectful people who are actually willing to help. Otherwise you can HIRE GOOGLE.

Local 134 is a joke. They back a candidate for governor who is known for hiring NON UNION labor. Way to spend our pac fund. Never again will I be donating to this fund....

Not enough work for all the members, which means part time employment, considered a contractor,s local, has the union under there thumb, a lot of members scared of there job and will do anything to keep it, most don't even follow the principal agreement.Sad

I just had some electrical work done in my house by a local134 electrician. What a great job he done. I wouldn't let anybody but an electrician from 134 do work in my house.
