The members, officers and staff of Local 196 would like to welcome you to our website.
We are proud of our history and proud of our previous generations of I.B.E.W. Lineman,
Operators, Groundsman Helpers and Government workers who passed on their knowledge
and made sacrifices to make us stronger today.
Over one hundred years ago, in 1891, ten men met above Stolley's Dance Hall in St. Louis in
hopes of bringing a better life to those in the electrical trade. Then, apprenticeship training
was unheard of and safety consisted of trial and error. Those ten men then became the
founders of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (N.B.E.W.), which later became
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (I.B.E.W.) in 1899 when jurisdiction
extended to include Canada.
