Public Safety Workers Negotiations Turn Tense Prior to Chicago NATO Summit Thursday April 26, 2012- Last week, Office of Emergency Management 911 Center (OEMC) negotiations continued with the focus mainly on wages. Let’s remember - it’s been over two years since members received a contractual raise of any kind.


April 25, 2012 - As many of you have already told us, you believe IBEW Local Union 21's website is a big improvement from where we were just months ago. Yet we all know we can do even more. Many suggestions were made during recent surveys and stay tuned because we are implementing new modules almost weekly. Keep the ideas coming but also make sure to look around.


April 17, 2012 - Since AT&T’s April 4, 2012 surplus announcement of employees, IBEW Local 21 representatives have had several discussions with the Company. Our focus has been minimizing the negative impact of AT&T’s surplus decision on its employees, members of our local union.


Each year, on Workers Memorial Day, we remember all those who have died, been injured, or become sick on the job, and we renew our commitment to ensure the safety of American workers. From the AFL-CIO Every year on April 28, the unions of the AFL-CIO observe Workers Memorial Day to remember those who have suffered and died on the job and to renew our efforts for safe workplaces.


April 4, 2012- AT&T declared yet another surplus of employees today.  Company management advised our local it will be cutting ninety-seven (97) Illinois jobs in the Construction and Engineering Department (C&E).  In a separate announcement AT&T will be offering two general Voluntary SIPPS.
