International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Local 166 (Schenectady, N.Y.)

Historical note: Local 166 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) was chartered on March 20, 1934, with jurisdiction over inside electrical work in Schenectady, New York.

Jurisdiction in 1990 also included work in radio and television, telephone, and cable television. Although Local 166 was based in Schenectady, its members worked on sites spread across the greater Capital District, such as Albany, Gloversville, Canajoharie, Amsterdam, and Saratoga Springs. General Electric's Schenectady plant has been a frequent job site for Local 166's members. IBEW Local 1415 of the RCA radio shop merged with Local 166 in 1975. Also included in the records of Local 166 are some minutes (1909-11) of IBEW District Council 4, the district council for Schenectady.
