Ibew Local 396

What Ibew Local 396 does

IBEW Local 396 is a chartered local union of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, founded in 1974 and headquartered at 3520 Boulder Hwy, Las Vegas, Nevada. The organization represents electrical workers across four primary employer groupings — NV Energy (utilities), CenturyLink and AT&T/Forged Fiber 37 (telecommunications), and Outside Construction (linemen, equipment operators, fabricators, groundmen) — operating under the slogan "Lighting Las Vegas Since 1974." Its core function is collective representation: negotiating collective bargaining agreements, processing grievances, dispatching work through out-of-work books with Book 1 residency priority for Nevadans, and channeling members into apprenticeship, annuity, and benefit programs administered via NJATC, NEAP, and NEBF.

The local operates a member-facing digital platform built on UnionActive (web hosting, member login, events calendar, and content management) and WorkingSystems (online dues payment and out-of-work book re-signing available 10th–16th of each month). Member-facing features extend to digital grievance forms, a member directory, internal news/RSS feeds, classifieds, job postings, and a discounts catalog that bundles third-party offers (A-List Dental, Ford, Red Roof, AT&T, Palm Dignity Memorial, Simple Divorce, Union Plus). The site exposes limited developer surface area — no public APIs, SDKs, or MCP integrations — and no proprietary machine-learning or AI components are evident; the only AI-adjacent offering is an informational sheet on AI-enabled dash/fleet cameras (Motive) for outside construction members.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring member dues, with the local remitting per-capita payments to IBEW international; dues amounts are not publicly disclosed. The local's ten-person staff — Business Manager Jesse Newman, Assistant Business Managers Jeremy Newman and Robert Herrera, Office Manager/Recording Secretary Brandie Wright, two Administrative Assistants, and elected officers/board — supports this membership-funded model. The organization engages externally with the Nevada AFL-CIO, Nevada State Legislature, OSHA, and sister local IBEW Local 357, and has received the Edwin D. Hill Award (2019) and Commitment to Excellence recognition (2016).
