Affiliated Jacksonville Electrical Contractors not only maintain electrical systems and wiring, we desgin them Our contractors are skilled trade's people and are experts in the design, implementation, and installation of the electrical and energy management systems and are regarded by the industry as highly trained professionals.
A common, prevailing notion in the Florida construction industry is that it costs more to work with organized electricians or electrical contractors. Jacksonville's customers and business owners are increasingly recognizing this as a myth. Sure, you can always go the lowest dollar on anything in life.
At the time of their founding, being an electrical worker meant making about $10 a week, low even for the era and a death/injury rate that was double other industrial jobs. At one point a staggering 1 out of 2 linemen and wiremen died on the job in certain cities. Thus the IBEW was largely founded to give these workers the working conditions that all American's today would consider a fundamental human right.
To organize all workers in the entire electrical industry in the United States and Canada, including all those in public utilities and electrical manufacturing, into local unions. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) provides legal protection for workers who act together to address workplace problems or improve wages, benefits, and conditions of employment in the workplace.
The apprenticeship is sanctioned through the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC), also known as the Electrical Training Alliance (ETA), a joint committee of NECA and IBEW. The local chapter is the Electrical Training Alliance of Jacksonville (ETAJAX). The purpose of ETAJAX is to provide the most highly educated and skilled electricians possible in the trade.

Been a member for 37 years worked jobs from groundman to journeyman, foreman, general foreman, project manager, estimator, LU VDV organizer, LU 50/50 construction organizer, IO field & Lead construction organizer and presently P&I Lead Organizer with IO in 5th District. Lots and Lots of Opportunities for those willing to put in the work to get the skills and education. Your not an at will employee anymore and you work under a contract binding in court.
