We are the men and women of IBEW Local 25 We are two thousand people who have earned our living and raised our families by working in the unionized electrical construction, maintenance, and telecommunications industries on Long Island. We are your Sunday school teachers, your volunteer firemen, your civic leaders - we are the fabric of Long Island.
Local 25 has been on Long Island since 1932. We have many faces. Sometimes we are a second or third generation of craftsman whose forefathers founded our local. Sometimes we are a new recruit who came into the organization from one of the surrounding communities and sometimes we are a newly organized electrician. We have many faces - but one voice.
We pride ourselves on being the finest craftspeople in the world. We are committed to ongoing training to keep our skills on the razor's edge of the newest technology, as well as passing down our knowledge to the next generation of electricians. We stand for decent wages and innovative benefits so that our members can live the American Dream.

A common, prevailing notion in the Long Island construction industry is that it costs more to work with organized electricians or electrical contractors.
Long Island's electrical customers and business owners are increasingly recognizing this as a myth.
Sure, you can always go lowest dollar on anything in life.
However, it is also always true that you get what you pay for.
Going for the lowest bottom dollar in any building carries risks, sometimes serious ones.
In a situation where an electrician or electrical shop is "non-affiliated, " workers may often have less training, the company may be less stable, and this poses the risk of greater work place and job site uncertainty and accident risk.

Founded around the turn of the 20th century in 1891 as a part of the AFL, The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) emerged out of simply horrid working conditions for electrical workers.
At the time of their founding, being an electrical worker meant making about $10 a week, low even for the era and a death/injury rate that was double other industrial jobs.
At one point a staggering 1 out of 2 linemen and wiremen died on the job in certain cities.
Thus the IBEW was largely founded to give these workers the working conditions that all American's today would consider a fundamental human right.

In November of 2011, LIPA commissioned the new 32 Megawatt Long Island Solar Farm at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The completion of currently the largest SolarFarm on the east coast will generate enough energy topower 4,500 homes annually.
Completion of the project marks a milestone in Local 25's history of "providing for the electrical needs of Long Islanders."
The facility, situated on roughly 200 acres is now owned by MetLife.
It is comprised of 164,312 fixed position ground mounted solar modules.

Local 25 and our NECA partners continue to build on our Renewable and Green Energy resume with the hope of leading our nation away from our dependency on foreign oil.
Certain areas of Long Island make it ideally suited for application of solar and wind turbine technologies.
Pictured above is an installation of a Solar Shading System developed and marketed by Colt Industries of the UK.
This 30 plus KW system is part of the front facade of the recently completed Advanced Energy & Research Technology Center (AERTC) at SUNY Stony Brook.
