IBEW 81

The First Union #81 of our brotherhood was located in Fort Worth, Texas, and was chartered August 6, 1894. This local became defunct a year or two after it was chartered... Local Union #81 Scranton, Pennsylvania, was chartered June 7, 1899. Scranton was then one of the top iron and coal producing cities in the nation, so a lot of the local's work was related to those industries. But the age of electricity was upon us, and the demand increased for skilled workmen to install electrical services in homes and businesses.
