Governing
"No business ever got much of anywhere without a responsible head -- neither can a labor union, local or international. We now face some of the same problems that business corporations have. We must meet them the same way."
-- President H.H. Broach, The Journal of the Electrical Workers and Operators, 1930
Local unions, system councils and the International Office form the vital web of the IBEW's government and administration. The International Convention, consisting of elected delegates from every local union, is the highest governing body of the Brotherhood and the forum for electing the union's International Officers. The International President, Secretary-Treasurer and Vice Presidents are the full-time officers who undertake the daily governance of the IBEW, with the advice and consent of the International Executive Council and within the framework of the IBEW Constitution and bylaws. |
