Lake County, Indiana Emergency Call Dispatchers have voted to join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 21 (IBEW 21). The results of the election were read into the record at the Lake County Board of Commissioners meeting this morning. A total of 72 votes were tallied with 68 in favor of IBEW representation. We are pleased to welcome the Lake County E911 Dispatchers to our Union family.
The emergency call dispatchers are excited about joining our union. Paul Wright, IBEW 21 President – Business Manager stated, “The dispatchers protect the county’s citizens every day; we look forward to working with county representatives to negotiate a contract that rewards them for their service to the residents of Lake County.” We would like to thank the dispatchers, the Northwest Indiana Federation of Labor, our sister local IBEW 697 in Merrillville, and our friends at Carpenters Local 599 in Hammond who helped us during this organizing drive.
