  Welcome to the home page of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 57. Local 57 was chartered on July 8, 1893 and holds the oldest charter in the Eighth District of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Local 57 currently represents approximately 2200 members and has statewide jurisdiction over all of Utah as well as parts of Wyoming and Idaho for outside construction, utility and telephone.

In 1938 the local union organized Utah Power & Light Company, which resulted in the first full time business manager - a construction lineman by the name of Eldon "Butch" Carter. Other Business Managers of Local 57 were Joe Nichols, Elsworth "Stub" Cleveland, Vince Pearson, Ralph Hedquist, Les Bell, Louis Felice and Blaine Newman. Byron Nielsen is the current Business Manager and was elected in June of 2002.
