Illinois Telecommunication Law Rewrite

The law regulating telecommunications providers in Illinois is set to expire this year.  The Illinois Legislature will be looking to make changes to the regulations based on the information it receives from all interested parties.

IBEW Local 21 leaders  began meeting with members of the legislature to discuss the Illinois Telecom Rewrite. Their message to the legislators was clear.  Quality communications in Illinois depends on the highly skilled unionized jobs our IBEW members perform for our customers in Illinois.

Telecom providers have started their lobbying efforts to sway the Illinois legislature. Many representatives are only hearing one side of the story.  They haven't heard from the thousands of workers who maintain Illinois’ telecommunications infrastructure.

They need to hear from you.  They need to understand protecting your job is essential in maintaining quality communications in Illinois. We ask that you call them now. For more information please click here.
