IBEW Local 145

Heads up 🚧 the parking lot of the IBEW Local 145 Family Medical Center is currently under construction.

The clinic is still open regular hours during construction:
Monday - Thursday: 6 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Friday: 6 a.m. - 11 a.m.

"Not every day is going to be okay." That's actually printed right on the su***de awareness and prevention chips we're handing out at the union hall.

For National Su***de Prevention Month, stop by the Local 145 office and pick up a DIAL 988 poker chip. Scan the QR code on the back, and it'll take you to a page of mental health resources you can use anytime, not just in September:

⚡988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline⚡
Free, confidential, 24/7 support and resources for you or someone you know experiencing distress or crisis.
Call 988 OR text "Home" to 741741

⚡Veteran Crisis Line⚡
Free, confidential, 24/7 crisis support for veterans and their loved ones.
Call 988, then press 1 OR text 838255

⚡Mental Health America's Peer-to-Peer Line⚡
Free, confidential mental health support, geared less toward crisis and more toward talking things through with a trained professional.
Call 330.434.9144

Grab a chip. Put it in your pocket or your toolbox, somewhere you'll actually see it. Sometimes that's the nudge it takes to make the call — for you or someone you love. Remember, you're never alone.

Labor Day isn't just about camping and waterslides and BBQs — not that there's anything wrong with those things; they're great! 😎🌞

Labor Day is about honoring workers everywhere and the legacy of the labor movement, whose fight for worker's rights established the two-day weekend we so often take for granted. Happy Labor Day!

From the IBEW 145 family to yours — have a fun, safe, and relaxing Independence Day! 🌭🧨

Congratulations to the newly sworn in officers of IBEW Local 145. Our future is on good hands!

What an incredible week it was at the QC Electrical Training Center!

It's been really cool watching the Heavy Metal Summer Experience campers experience the electrical trade through new eyes this week at the QC Electrical Training Center. So proud to be a part of this program and to introduce young people to the incredible career opportunities in the union building trades.

This week we celebrate the 101st anniversary of IBEW Local Union 145! 🥳

IBEW Local Union 145 was chartered on April 27, 1925, when Rock Island's Local 485 (chartered in 1913) and Davenport's Local 635 (chartered in 1917) combined forces. ⚡💪

Since then, the brothers and sisters of IBEW Local Union 145 have wired much of the greater Quad City community. We look forward to another 101 years of lighting the QCA! ⚡🔌💡
