Today, April 17, 2024, here is the latest information about the ongoing negotiations involving OEMC members and The City Of Chicago.

Friday, March 15, 2024 (12:00 PM CST) - Today, AT&T announced a surplus affecting employees represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 21 (IBEW 21).   The announced surplus affecting IBEW Local 21 members are as follows: 2 – Advanced Computer Attendants out of 2305 Sanders rd. Northbrook, IL.

Today, the IBEW Local Union 21 Executive Board voted unanimously, with the recommendations of President Business Manager Paul Wright and retiring Recording Secretary Bob Przybylinski, to appoint Jackie Cheeseman Dorrough, to fill the remainder of Bob's term as Recording Secretary. Jackie is union to her core, she brings years of experience, dedication and commitment to her new position. Jackie has served as a Local 21 steward for almost 29 years. As Unit Recorder for over two decades and as an IBEW International Convention Delegate in 2016 and 2022. Jackie also serves as a member of the IBEW Local 21 scholarship Committee, as well as various other committee assignments.

The much sought after, long delayed, highly anticipated 2022-2027 AT&T Core Contract is now finally available!  As many of you know and have been closely following the progress, this was no easy task for your IBEW representatives. What should have been a normally tedious but relatively straightforward process turned into a headache. The contract, which is over 490 pages long, was proofread by AT&T management and the staff of IBEW Local 21 who found and corrected errors, misspellings, misplaced punctuation, company name changes, and other items that needed attention since the 2013 contract was initially drafted. We appreciate the time and patience of all of our members who had to endure the delays of obtaining a final copy of this agreement.

We are deeply saddened and mourn the loss of our Friend and Brother Tom Moran, retired International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 21 Chief Steward. Tom was a very caring person and friend to many.  Brother Moran was a great unionist who began his career working at Illinois Bell. Tom’s dedication, sense of humor and good spirit will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
