2018 GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
The rapid changes to the utility industry have unleashed new forces that threaten our members’ jobs like never before. As a result, IBEW 1245 is focused on finding political leaders who support out priorities, and are committed to protecting our work, jobs and wages. We understand that there are many other issues that matter to Local 1245 members, but the union’s endorsement criteria is focused exclusively on where each candidate stands on the issues that impact your livelihood.
