The Iron Range area LLMCC is the Local Labor Management Cooperation Committee that is proud of the partnership we have with the IBEW Local Union 294 electricians and the Union Contractors. Our goal of the IBEW294-NECA team is to work together in creating the area's premier provider for electrical services.
This partnership we have is a win-win for all of us, as the Union Contractors have the most highly skilled electricians and with Contractors and Union working together they will provide the best possible service for the customer with all work being done on schedule and most importantly the highest quality.
As times are changing and new products are brought forth each Contractor does their share of changes to keep up with the times. As too with our skilled electricians, continuing and learning new products is an ongoing effort for all. What sets us apart is each Contractor will be ready to assist the customer in the design, maintenance or new construction of any electrical project with their education and experience as well as a working team of highly skilled electricians.
