Important Notice for the 2021 International Dues:
The Delegates of the 39th I.B.E.W. International Convention, which was conducted in St. Louis, Missouri during the week of September 19th through September 23rd, 2016, approved several amendments to Article IX of the I.B.E.W.

Message from the Assistant Business Managers Desk:
To the Brothers and Sisters of IBEW 86,
We, the officers and staff, hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and are continuing to stay safe entering the new year.
With the Holidays behind us and social gatherings seemingly lessening, it is still of the upmost importance to remain diligent of all safety protocols from proper hygiene, social distancing, mask wearing and a good self-health assessment before going to work or other events. If we continue to adhere to this protocol, we can help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. With that said, we hope and pray that we can at some point in the new year return to having the Union and Family functions that we all miss and love so much.
Thank you all for the hard work and continuing to do the right thing. In solidarity we shall overcome!
Very Sincerely and Fraternally yours,
Raymond A. Ryerse Jr.
