I.B.E.W. Local 86 Womens Committee attended an event at Roc Vocademics. This organization is a summer program for students who are interested in vocational careers, including video production and drone training. Kathryn Mucica and Natalia Reyes spoke to students about careers in the IBEW, the benefits of unions and what it is like to be an electrician. The students were very engaged and asked a lot of questions. If anyone is interested in joining Local 86 women’s committee, please reach out to Kathryn.

Please see the Non-Compete Directive letter below.

When inputting your suggestions for the wage allocation please disregard the error message. We are receiving all suggestions!

Please note: We are NOW ABLE to accept credit cards at the hall for Dues and Merchandise payments!

When life events happen such as marriage, divorce, death of a beneficiary, etc. please make sure you update your beneficiaries not only with the Funds office but also with the International office.

For the International office:

If you do not have a beneficiary designation form on file, Article XI of the IBEW Constitution states that the death benefit is payable to the following individual(s) in order of priority:

1. Member’s spouse, or if none;
2. Member’s children in equal shares, or if none;
3. Member’s parents in equal shares, or if none;
4. Member’s estate

OR if you wish to specifically name a beneficiary or change a beneficiary previously named, you must fill out a new beneficiary designation form.

This form can be found on our website:

Online Forms – IBEW Local 86 (ibewlu86.org)

or on the International office website:

Beneficiary_USA (ibew.org)

Do not assume you do not have a beneficiary designation form on file. You may have filled one out at the beginning of your career and it needs updating. If you are unsure whether you have one on file or not, call us and we will check on it for you.
