Local Union 917 received its charter on October 1, 1938. Our jurisdiction covers 16 counties in east-central Mississippi and three counties in west-central Alabama. For more than 75 years, we have proudly served our region with a highly-skilled, highly productive, and drug-free workforce. Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life. Generations of Local 917 workers have kept it flowing. We are grateful for the opportunities over the decades to make life better for our friends and neighbors in Mississippi and Alabama.
