IBEW Local Union 682

What IBEW Local Union 682 does

IBEW Local Union 682 is a Florida-based local labor union chartered under the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), representing approximately 500 electrical and utility workers across sub-local Units 682.1, 682.2, and 682.3 (City of Quincy, FL, added in 2023). The union is headquartered in Spring Hill, Florida, and conducts collective bargaining, grievance handling, and workplace representation through System Council U8 alongside sister IBEW locals 433, 626, and 222. Its primary customers are its dues-paying members, who receive contract enforcement, Weingarten Rights protection, discipline and termination defense, and negotiated wage and benefit improvements through the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) process.

The union's single product surface is the UnionActive member portal, which provides members with access to the current MOA, MOUs, bylaws, forms, member directory, officers/staff information, events calendar, committees, meeting minutes, and member education resources including organizational charts and a Negotiations 101 module. The platform is a standard union-management SaaS deployment and is not differentiated by proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities. Distribution is direct through local officers, stewards, and executive board representatives across the jurisdiction, with communications supplemented by a website, RSS feeds, email newsletters, and a Facebook page.

The business model is membership-dues-based and recurring. Members pay monthly dues, which were increased 3% in December, indexed to the General Wage Increase negotiated for the upcoming contract year. The union operates as a private, nonprofit labor organization funded entirely through member dues, with no external investment, no parent corporate control, and no product or service revenue streams beyond dues. Governance is provided by elected officers — Business Manager/Financial Secretary Bob Rommelt, President George Tibbetts, Vice President Chris Windnagel, Treasurer Joaquin Victor, and Recording Secretary Jeff Anderson — and the union coordinates statewide through affiliation with the Florida AFL-CIO and the National AFL-CIO.
