From Apprentice to IBEW Leader — The Truth About the Trades

What’s really going on inside the skilled trades right now — and why do so many workers feel unheard? In this episode, I sit down with an IBEW electrician from Local 322 — NIC Electric — to talk about apprenticeship, union leadership, and the real truth about working in the trades today. From starting out as an apprentice to stepping into leadership, NIC breaks down what he saw early on that pushed him toward advocacy — and where the disconnect between workers and leadership actually exists. We get into what most people in the trades feel… but don’t always hear talked about. Drop your thoughts in the comments — where do you think the biggest disconnect is right now? #ibew #Electrician #SkilledTrades
