What International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers does
Mission
To organize all workers for the moral, economic and social advancement of their condition and status.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The largest of our program service efforts is contract negotiation and administration for efforts directly or indirectly assisting our local unions in the negotiation and administration of our various collective bargaining agreements. Other major programmatic efforts include organizing, to represent all workers for the advancement of their condition and status, and the administration of the union with membership processing and education of our local unions.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $834M to $951M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
