Our mission is “to improve the relationship between signatory employers and the IBEW at all levels, to explore ways to work together to become more competitive, to implement programs that increase employment opportunities for these employers and their employees, and to promote the value of union electrical work to the end user.” – Mission Statement of the NLMCC.

The programs of the LMCC have been developed from recommendations by the membership of both NECA and the IBEW, local unions, and chapters.

The LMCC goals:

• To improve communication between representatives of Labor and Management.
  

• To expand and improve working relationships between worker and managers.
  

• To provide workers and employers with opportunities to study and explore new and innovative joint approaches (Blue Print for the 90’s) to achieving organizational effectiveness.
  

• To ensure and develop standards regarding the continuing education of the Journeyman Wireman.
  

• To foster improvements in occupational safety and health and other working conditions in the construction industry.
  

• To provide a meaningful marketing program.

Local electrical workers help decorate downtown Dayton.  Special holiday cheer provided by Wagner Smith (right) and Chapel Electric (left).

Each year dozens of volunteers work to make downtown come alive at night. Members of the Local 82 IBEW and NECA donate their skilled services to string thousands of lights throughout downtown. This holiday service began seven years ago, and the number of lights has steadily increased each year.

Many thanks to the Wagner Smith Company, Chapel Electric and Prism Electric for donating their time and equipment to create a magical, holiday festival of lights!
