South Dakota Rep. Linda Duba visits Local 426 in celebration of National Apprenticeship Week.

L.U. 426 (i,lctt,o,spa,t&u), SIOUX FALLS, SD — In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week, our local hosted an engaging tabling event at the union hall on Nov. 17. We explored local apprenticeship programs that showcased the diverse opportunities available in the area. The event was enhanced by the presence of South Dakota Rep. Linda Duba, who shared her intent to pass legislation to bring more education about our local electrical apprenticeship program to our state’s high school students.

About the Electrical Worker

The Electrical Worker was the name of the first official publication of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 1893 (the NBEW became the IBEW in 1899 with the expansion of the union into Canada). The name and format of the publication have changed over the years. This newspaper is the official publication of the IBEW and seeks to capture the courage and spirit that motivated the founders of the Brotherhood and continue to inspire the union’s members today. The masthead of this newspaper is an adaptation of that of the first edition in 1893.
