Pension & Benefits
IBEW benefit plans deliver more value. Dollar for dollar.
Your health and well-being is important to us.
IBEW members have access to a wide variety of health benefits, as well as a pension and/or RRSP.
Comprehensive health coverage
Experience peace of mind with IBEW benefits, including prescription, vision, and dental coverage tailored for both you and your family's health needs. Many IBEW locals offer additional coverage options, such as chiropractic care, registered massage therapy, and physiotherapy, ensuring that members receive the care they need.
Security and Portable Benefits
With IBEW's 100% secure and portable benefits, your coverage remains intact based on credits earned from your work hours, ensuring uninterrupted protection. Even during parental leave, your benefits continue on the same basis, extending into retirement for continued support when it's needed most.
Lifetime Protection
As an IBEW Apprentice, Electrician, Powerline Technician, or Network Cabling Specialist, access substantial life insurance coverage of up to $125,000, with potential increases in select areas. In the unfortunate event of accidental death, this coverage doubles, accompanied by long-term disability protection for added security.
Plan for your Retirement
As an IBEW member, enjoy the added advantage of contributions towards your pension for every hour worked. These contributions are in addition to your base pay, creating a solid foundation for your future financial well-being.
