Local 55 has over 750 members and its jurisdiction covers all but seven of Iowa’s 99 counties. It is an “A” and “BA” local with members in outside line construction, utility, tree trimming, and telephone, telegraph, municipal workers and CATV construction. Besides line construction, Local 55 now represents 28 separate units. As the Local continues to grow, so does its strength and ability to represent the membership. Future goals for Local 55 include building the membership to its richest capacity in which each and every member’s needs can best be served. New members joining the current brothers and sisters will provide the strength necessary to achieve this goal.
