Thank you for your interest in joining the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 130. For more than 125 years, we’ve trained, supported, and represented the electricians who power the Greater New Orleans area and Southeast Louisiana. If you’re ready for better wages, stronger benefits, and a union that has your back, you’re in the right place.
In a time when wages struggle to match the rising cost of living, and health care and retirement benefits are shrinking, IBEW Local 130 stands firmly on the side of workers. We value our union Journeymen, and that value shows up in your paycheck, your benefits, and your long-term financial security.
Journeyman wages start at $26.96 for maintenance positions and go up to $36.00 on many jobs within Local 130’s jurisdiction. Offering you the opportunity to earn a strong and reliable living. Members also receive 100% employer-funded single or family health insurance coverage, providing exceptional care for you and your loved ones.
IBEW Local 130 members can qualify for up to four retirement benefit plans, including pensions from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the National Electrical Benefit Fund, and additional benefits through the New Orleans Electrical Pension and Annuity Plans. That means real security you can count on long after your working years.
For experienced electrical workers, the process starts with verifying your skills and documented hours in electrical construction. Local 130 values training and your employment history. We verify experience from your existing documentation, including your trade school and electrical licenses.
