Welcome to IBEW Local 103,
Encore Boston Harbor Resort & Casino workers!
IBEW Local 103 is thrilled to welcome 127 new members, Encore Boston Harbor technical and maintenance workers! These workers voted overwhelmingly to join Local 103, with a 95% yes vote, making Local 103 the first IBEW Local Union to represent all trade workers in a casino. In addition to electricians, IBEW Local 103 now proudly represents Encore slot machine technicians, A/V technicians, Fire Control Center dispatchers and more. “We have seen the real difference the union makes in the lives of working families. Local 103 helped ensure that the workers who built this casino had family-sustaining wages and great benefits, and we know that union membership will give us the opportunity to ensure we enjoy the same. I couldn’t be happier to officially be a union member and to know Local 103 has our backs,” said John Gentile, Encore Boston Harbor electrician and new IBEW Local 103 member. The votes were cast through the course of August and were made official recently, once the window for any challenges to the outcome closed.
