The term refers to notifications of employment opportunities dispatched by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 305. These notifications inform union members about available electrician positions within the local’s jurisdiction. As an example, an electrician might receive communication detailing a specific project requiring a certain number of skilled workers, the project’s location, the expected duration, and the hourly wage.
Access to these notifications offers several advantages to IBEW 305 members. It provides a direct pathway to employment, ensuring members are aware of available work and can readily apply. Historically, such systems were developed to fairly distribute work among the union membership, reduce periods of unemployment, and maintain consistent labor standards and wages within the electrical trade.
