The IBEW Founders’ Scholarship honors the dedicated wiremen and linemen who founded the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Each year, the officers of the IBEW offer scholarships to working members on a competitive basis.
The scholarship is intended to support members’ personal development while helping to steward the electrical industry envisioned by our founders.
The IBEW is calling on all members to urge Congress to support H.R. 5475, the No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act — legislation that would make tax relief on overtime fair for every working person, including IBEW 1837 members.
The Maine AFL-CIO has published its 2025 Working Families Legislative Scorecard, which is an essential resource that shows how Maine’s state legislators voted on key labor issues.

Nine members of IBEW Local 1837, representing Central Maine Power (CMP), Versant, Unitil, New Hampshire Electric Co-op, and Eversource, spent two days sharpening their skills and building solidarity at the Maine AFL-CIO Labor Summer Institute in Orono on August 13–14, 2025. They were joined by longtime IBEW 1837 members, State Representative Matt Beck of South Portland, and Maine AFL-CIO President Cynthia Phinney.
