Our Story
Serving San Mateo County since 1908!
Established in 1908, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 617 is located in San Mateo, California. The position in which Local 617 has situated itself as it turns 100 years old is nothing short of phenomenal. Membership is up over 1,000, with over 200 members in the Voice/Data/Video field and a great deal of redevelopment and new construction returning to San Mateo County. Local 617 has become progressive and prominent, proactive in politics and the community as it becomes entrenched in all industrial markets.

Pension
The Board of Trustees of the I.B.E.W. Local 617 Pension Trust Funds is dedicated to making the Funds more accessible and friendlier to Participants.
The Trust Fund sponsors the San Mateo Electrical Construction Industry Retirement Plan. The Plan is a multi-employer, collectively bargained defined contribution pension plan (also known as a “Money Purchase Pension Plan”) in which employer contributions are invested for your benefit. Benefits are payable on or at retirement (after age 55 or older), disability and in limited situations and amounts, upon the termination of employment.
