Welcome to the website of IBEW Local 103

Just as new technologies continue to emerge and evolve in the electrical and telecommunications industries, so too does the role of technology in communications continue to grow.  In our continuing effort to leverage the most advanced and efficient means of communicating with our members, contractors, industry leaders and the general public, it is my honor to welcome you to the official Local 103, I.B.E.W., website.

The mission of Local 103, I.B.E.W., is a simple one - to provide the most skilled and productive workforce in the world, while at the same time protecting the rights and benefits of every worker.  Our success in training and developing workers who deliver on-time and on-budget projects and foster a safe working environment speaks for itself.  Our members and contractors have been literally lighting the skyline of Eastern Massachusetts for over 100 years.

More recently, Local 103 has become THE industry leader in emerging markets such as Wind Power and Solar Energy.  A number of our contractors have wisely embraced these opportunities and our Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee now offers innovative curriculum in these growing fields.

As we continue to identify and welcome inevitable developments in our core markets, the foundation of our success in training remains unmatched.  Every Local 103 electrician and technician completes the equivalent of five years of schooling and 10,000 hours of field training.  They are back in the classroom for technology updates every 36 months.

Together with the contractors of the Boston Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association, Local 103, I.B.E.W., is extremely proud to maintain the very best workforce in the industry and we are honored to have you browse our website.  

For our members, we encourage you to use this website to access important news and activities, and sign-up for our e-mail news and alerts list.  You will also find here regular legislative updates from Beacon Hill and Washington, DC, which affect our industry, our workers and our families.  Additionally, please utilize this site to keep abreast of union activities, functions and events.  For others throughout the industry, I hope you find this site informative as to the many offerings of Local 103, and I hope it gives you a sense of our purpose, mission and successes.

As always, I welcome an open dialogue with all and encourage your feedback.

Fraternally,

Michael P. Monahan
Business Manager
