Today we would like to share with you the Code of Excellence for the 81 Brotherhood, which is a program designed to bring out the best in the construction workers, while demonstrating to the public that IBEW members: "perform the highest quality and quantity of work, utilize their skills and abilities to the maximum, and exercise safe and productive work practices."
