For new Canadians and recent immigrants to Alberta, understanding the process for applying to be a member of IBEW 424 is important.
: _. r2 R6 b: l
8 X. G/ d- ~- ~' c! mWhile the Government of Alberta is the only body that establishes the qualifications necessary to work as an electrician here, our Union establishes the rules by which we accept new members to our Local Union.

7 a5 D1 \1 Y& @: V' FWe have been frustrated, as have many Chinese-Canadian electricians, with some of the government’s actions over the past several years. Recent immigrants have had to deal with the Government’s constant changes without explanation and long waiting periods.

2 G* K% s0 d* M2 l; L& ]5 F  \We continue to work with the CEAC to improve the government process, however I feel that now we have a system that ensures that qualified electricians are being afforded the benefits of union membership.

& L, ]4 O: F# y7 H. }6 lLocal 424 has implemented a process for all applications accompanied by either a Qualification or Equivalency Certificate. Once the applicant had been dispatched as a permit, an interview is conducted with their IBEW field supervision regarding field performance. With a favorable report, the application is moved forward to membership. If the report back is less favorable it is accompanied by a recommendation to complete the IBEW Practical Skills Evaluation.

- C: b6 H+ N* IThis process has been very successful with an over-whelming majority of applicants being forwarded to membership as Journeyman members. Those that were identified as having less than Journeyman level skills have been indentured in the Electrician trade and still brought into membership.

My experience with new Canadians is that they are a welcome addition to our Brotherhood and are productive workers on the jobsite. We need to position Local 424 to be the “right choice” for employers and workers alike – now and in the future.     

I remain committed to the purposes for which the IBEW was instituted over 100 years ago. That is to provide a safe and equitable worksite free from harassment and discrimination. I earnestly invite all qualified electricians to join our ranks. I appreciate your commitment and patience as we navigate through this process and ensure that ALL electricians have access to IBEW representation.

' H) \1 V0 k+ B: m我们继续和加拿大中国电工协会工作以提高政府的程序，但是我觉得现在我们有一个系统，以确保合格的电工都被给予工会会员的好处。  

Local 424 已经完成了针对具有证书或等同证书的所有申请的一个程序。 一旦申请人以permit被派往工地，负责工地表现的IBEW主管要对其进行面试。 被面试的申请人获得好的报告， 他将被吸收成工会会员。 如果反馈报告不太好， 根据报告建议完成IBEW的实践技能评估。（译者注：评估报告基本取决于工地直接主管，往往带有偏见。）

6 d! Z  c. @% T+ X* M& K! Q此评估程序非常成功，绝大多数的申请人已经被转为正式Journeyman会员。那些被确认为低于电工行业要求的技能的申请人也被吸收入工会。（译者注：降为学徒，也直接带来了对被评估电工不公平待遇。）

我继续致力于IBEW 成立于一百多年前的目的， 提供一个没有骚扰和歧视，安全和公平的工地。 我恳切邀请所有合格的电工来加入我们的行列。 我感谢您们的关注及耐心，因为我们经历这一过程，并确保所有电工都能享有IBEW的代表性。
