Electrical contracting
The electrical contracting industry designs, builds and
maintains electrical installations essential to the whole of UK
society, encompassing everything from major infrastructure to
domestic dwellings.
Unite electricians are trained to the industry's highest
standards, and represent some of the most highly skilled and
competent workers in the total construction process.
Competency and skills have proudly been built up and protected
since the ETU (Electrical Trades Union) was founded in 1889. Wages,
terms, conditions, benefits and professional qualifications are
enshrined in the
JIB national collective agreement,
operated jointly between the union and the
ECA (Electrical Contractors
Association), and in Scotland the
SJIB between the union and the
Scottish Electrical Contractors
