History of 210
Local Union 210 was chartered by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on December 31, 1902. In the early years, Local 210 represented primarily contract electrical workers. We do not have much history on the number of members we had or who our members worked for.
On, September 6, 1941, Local 210 signed its first collective bargaining agreement with Atlantic City Electric Company. Since that date we have negotiated 35 renewal contracts for the physical workforce there. On October 29, 1998 Local 210 gained recognition for the Field Engineer title, which established our second bargaining agreement with Atlantic City Electric Company. In addition to our collective bargaining agreements with Atlantic City Electric Company, Local 210 has three bargaining agreements with The City of Vineland, which include the Electric Utility, (Unit I), the Blue Collar workers from City Hall, Water Utility and Road Department, (Unit II), the Supervisors, (Unit III) and in 2019 the Vineland Public Library was organized. Local 210 also represents the work force of constellation energy in South Jersey.
Local 210’s current membership is approximately 750 working men and women. We had reached a high of approximately 1800 back in the 1970’s. Deregulation and technology changes have been the main reason for the decline in members. Our members work in a vast number of capacities, which include those classifications normally associated with the electrical utility industry, as well as public sector classifications such as police dispatchers, public works, clerical positions and health, building and electrical inspectors to name a few.
As IBEW Local 210 members, we remain committed to providing the best wages, benefits and working conditions possible for those we represent. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing the safest work environment possible and every member returning home each day to their families. We will be successful because each and every member works together for the "Good of the Union."
