Frequently Asked Questions
NECA & IBEW
Answer: Membership in NECA begins with a local chapter, organized by geographic location. Local NECA chapters review all initial membership applications. Once approved for membership by a NECA chapter, an electrical contractor is eligible for national NECA membership. The chapter submits the contractor’s application for national membership.

Answer: NECA membership is only available to a firm or corporation engaged in the business of electrical contracting, defined as the business of erecting, installing, repairing, servicing, or maintaining electric wiring, devices, or equipment.
This means NECA members are the electrical contracting companies. Employees at NECA member contractors are eligible for all member benefits after they are added to their company’s membership record by the company’s NECA-affiliated representative.
NECA’s members are primarily signatory contractors who hire union (IBEW) electricians. Non-union firms may be approved for membership, depending on the policy of their local chapter.
Answer: When electrical contractors join NECA, they gain the power to transform their companies:
- Lead, not follow, in labor negotiations.
- Get real business intelligence.
- Access on-demand management education; and
- Connect directly with industry peers.
Answer: The cost of membership in NECA is based upon a percentage of the member company’s gross electrical payroll. Dues caps and discounts can apply. The percentage cost for membership is determined at the local level and generally ranges between 1-2 percent of the company’s gross electrical worker payroll.
