IBEW 213

What IBEW 213 does

IBEW 213 is a local chapter (Local Union 213) of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), an AFL-CIO affiliated labor union representing electrical workers across the United States and Canada. The local is based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, and serves electrical workers in its designated geographic jurisdiction. As a chartered local within the IBEW's organizational hierarchy, it operates under the parent union's constitution and bylaws while maintaining local governance over bargaining, member services, and dispatch operations within its territory.

The organization's typical functions — characteristic of IBEW locals — include collective bargaining on behalf of members with signatory employers, operating or coordinating apprenticeship and training programs, administering member benefits and dues, referring workers through a hiring hall (dispatch) system, and providing member services such as grievance handling and representation. IBEW 213 maintains a public web presence at ibew213.com and ibew213.org. The organization employs approximately 32 staff, indicating a relatively small administrative footprint typical of a regional local.

The business model of an IBEW local is that of a non-profit membership organization funded primarily through member dues (typically a percentage of gross wages), with secondary revenue from training program fees, investment income, and in some cases employer contributions to benefit funds. Operating geographies, specific member counts, financial details, governance structure, current leadership, and product/service details are not disclosed in the source data provided, and the operating model details above are based on standard IBEW local conventions rather than directly attested facts about Local 213.
