Welcome to the official web site of the IBEW, Local Union 1547.

Notice:

On July 1, 16 mechanics, radio technicians and warehouse employees who work at Denali National Park went on strike for fair wages. Public support for the striking employees has been tremendous. On behalf of the workers, I want to thank members of Labor for their support. The positive reaction from the tourist, other employees and the community means a lot to those who have temporarily walked away from their jobs in order to make a better life for their families.

In Solidarity,

--Larry Bell, Business Manager, IBEW Local 1547
