What IBEW Local 100 does

IBEW Local 100 is a local labor union chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), headquartered in Fresno, California. It represents unionized electrical workers (inside wiremen, journeymen, apprentices, and related classifications) across Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings Counties in California's Central Valley. The organization supports approximately 3,500 members by enforcing collective bargaining agreements with signatory contractors, dispatching workers to jobs, administering apprenticeship and continuing-education programs, and operating member-facing digital services (member portal, text notification system, online dues payment, and job dispatch platform).

The local partners with the Central California Electrical Training Institute (JATC) to deliver apprenticeship curricula and journeyman upgrade classes, which function as the primary workforce-development pipeline. Its operational technology stack is administrative rather than product-driven: it includes a job dispatch system that allocates workers to signatory contractors, a member portal for self-service, SMS-based notifications, and online dues processing. Notable signatory employers and project partners referenced include Dragados/Flatiron Joint Venture (DFJV, California High-Speed Rail), Mortenson, Valley 29 Electric, and the City of Fresno, indicating material exposure to large public infrastructure and commercial construction work.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from member dues (monthly per-capita payments), supplemented by initiation fees, training fund contributions, and minor investment income. The organization employs roughly 50 staff. As a 501(c)(5) labor organization, it is not a for-profit enterprise; surplus is reinvested into member services, training, and organizing rather than distributed to owners.
