Service Honored

L.U. 48 (c,em,i,rtb,rts,st,tm&ptc), PORTLAND, OR — On Dec. 8, we continued the tradition of honoring the years of service of our members, both active and retired. The annual holiday party is a great time for families to come together and enjoy a meal and good music (union-hired, of course) and to celebrate years of dedication to the IBEW.

The work we put in on the jobsite, providing quality to our customers at the best value while providing for our families, has a bit more meaning over the holidays. It’s our families we work for, after all. Each year gives us a chance to reflect on what the IBEW means to us all, sharing that with loved ones and cheering for those receiving their pins for years of service — these are cherished moments that our children grow up with and will hopefully experience for themselves.

We hope that 2024 is already bringing you greater joy and more conversations with loved ones about what being IBEW means to you.
