Brothers and Sisters,

Due to a situation beyond our control, the office suffered some water damage and will be closed until further notice. This will impact some areas of our operation, so please be patient as we work through it. Any items or orders purchased from the Local 109 store will not be able to be filled currently, however, as soon as we are able, we will get them to you.

The Quad Cities Unit Meeting location will be moved to IBEW Local 145, the address is 1700 52nd Ave, Moline, IL. Meeting time will remain at 4:30pm.

Thank you for your help and understanding.

Politics impacts every IBEW member’s wages, benefits, and job safety. The IBEW stays nonpartisan but fully engaged in educating members, holding politicians accountable, and mobilizing locally, because victories at the bargaining table can be lost at the ballot box. When IBEW members stay active, engaged, and united, we protect our voice both on the job and at the ballot box.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
