Fringe Benefits
The health reimbursement account (HRA), is in your name. $10.24 per hour worked will be deposited into your HRA
account. At the end of each month, the health insurance
premium is deducted from your HRA account to pay for
your insurance.
Health Insurance
IBEW members working with Union Employers are provided fringe benefits
unmatched by other employers. Health insurance benefits along with
national and local retirement plans provide security for you and your
family during your working years. Furthermore, this allows you to enjoy
a dignified retirement following a very productive and rewarding career
in the electrical industry. All pensions are based on retirement age
of 65, you may be able to retire at age 55.

IBEW Local 43 Annuity Fund
Your annuity accumulates tax-differed funds for retirement. The current Local 43 annuity rate is $3.00 per hour. Your contributions are placed in your own Individual Account. Contributions made for you are invested according to the investment directions that you give to the Fund. The total amount to be paid out to you will depend on the amount contributed, the investment results and the cost of operating the Fund.
Union Authorization Card
Sign an authorization card to start the process of becoming a member of the IBEW. Signing
this card means we want a union so we can negotiate a contract with our employer covering
our wages, hours, and working conditions. It means we want a process where employees have
a meaningful voice in our workplace and are no longer satisfied to leave all the important
decisions up to management. Click here for Membership Development contacts.
