L.U. 134 (catv,em,govt,i,mt,rtb,rts,spa&t), CHICAGO, IL — Our local held its first vendor showcase and open house in November. Members may remember the old tool show we hosted at the old union hall on 600 W. Washington Blvd. The new vendor showcase will be hosted annually at the IBEW-NECA Training Facility in Alsip, Ill. This two-day event brought out all the vendors who support our industry and gave all our members a chance to see the latest tools and technological advancements in the electrical industry.
Not only is this special event open to the entire membership, but this year Local 134 also combined it with an open house for all surrounding towns in the south suburban Cook County area, allowing high school students and families the opportunity to tour the best apprenticeship school in the nation! Throughout the weekend, students were able to interact with teachers, vendors, and brother and sister members to find out everything that Local 134 has to offer.
The vendor showcase and open house was a huge success, and we look forward to welcoming everyone again in 2024.
