Together We Can Elevate the Standards for the Entire Electrical Industry
The Electrical Alliance is a cooperative effort between the Local 26 Union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and electrical contractors of the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
Together, we empower workers with industry-leading education and training, wages and benefits, and employment opportunities. As a result, our contractors get highly skilled workers and a partner who has a vested interest in their success.
Our Story
Electricians For All
For generations, there have been stigmas associated with unions. Most of these stigmas are fueled by assumptions that the labor movement is about being anti-business and anti-management.
In 1997, the Electrical Alliance was established to prove these stigmas wrong.
It was created to uplift workers’ rights while simultaneously empowering businesses to grow and flourish.
Since its creation, the result has been a true alliance between all parties—one where contractors, workers, businesses, families, and communities all benefit by uplifting one another.
To this day, the cooperative helps us all forge forward by promoting diversity, equity, and more supportive compensation within the industry. The effects of these workers’ rights mean higher quality, more reliable workforce for contractors and clients alike.
Because the Electrical Alliance is for you. For us. For all.

Socially Responsible is the Way
We’re dedicated to promoting socially responsible contractors. This means contractors who provide safe working conditions, living wages, health care benefits, paid time off, retirement benefits, and financial stability. It also means promoting contractors who support marginalized groups such as people of color and women.
