IBEW Local 1212

About Local 1212

Our Mission

IBEW Local 1212 is the union of broadcast technicians, engineers, and media professionals working at New York's most prominent television and sports broadcasting organizations. We are affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), AFL-CIO — the largest electrical workers union in North America.

For decades, Local 1212 has fought to secure fair wages, safe working conditions, and meaningful benefits for the skilled professionals who power New York's broadcast industry. Our members are the unseen hands behind the news, sports, and entertainment that millions of viewers rely on every day.

We believe that strong unions make stronger communities. Through collective bargaining, advocacy, and solidarity, we continue to raise standards across the broadcast industry — not just for our members, but for all working people.
