What is RENEW?

RENEW (Reach Out and Engage Next-Gen Electrical Workers) is a young workers group created to help IBEW Members become more involved with their Local communities and the labor movement. Through education, collaboration, and active involvement, we strive to create a stronger working class and form a better image of the working people within our communities. Young Members are our future, and experienced Members are our mentors. The RENEW 134 meetings and events are a place where these young Members and mentors can come together to set goals based on the needs of our local union.

This program's goals are to educate the next generation of workers about the IBEW's benefits, provide space for younger Members to discuss issues relevant to their workplace and community, and encourage their participation in programs focused on strengthening the local union and the labor movement.

RENEW is open to all IBEW Local 134 Members, regardless of age and classification.

RENEW meets on the last Thursday of the month at 5 pm in conference room 106 at our Union Hall. Each month, we try to have a different topic or guest speaker to help further our education in the Local and electrical industries. We are always open to new meeting topics and discussion points, so email us your ideas at renew@local134.org. We are also here to help answer any questions you have if you don't feel comfortable asking your contractor or asking at the Good of the Local during our monthly meetings.
