Alen Astafaj, journeyman wireman, New York Local 3

“Prior to joining the IBEW, I was working for UPS. I took a job there after a period of voluntary unemployment, having worked at a credit union where I didn’t enjoy my job. I did well at UPS and was promoted to part-time supervisor for the loaders. The early mornings didn’t bother me, but it was part time and I needed a full-time salary.

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.
