IBEW Local 340 represents thousands of skilled electrical workers across the Sacramento Valley and Northern California. Based in Sacramento, this local oversees the training and dispatching of Inside Wiremen who perform commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations. The Sacramento market serves as a critical hub for California’s infrastructure, encompassing everything from high-density residential developments to complex institutional facilities.
The jurisdiction of Local 340 is vital for electrical contractors and tradespeople due to its mix of public works and private sector development. Members here are governed by the Inside Wireman Agreement, which ensures standardized safety protocols, rigorous training through the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, and a structured wage scale. As Sacramento expands its footprint in the technology and healthcare sectors, the local remains the primary source for certified electricians who can navigate the California Electrical Code and Title 24 energy standards. This ensures that large-scale signatory mechanical and electrical primes have access to a workforce capable of meeting strict project deadlines and complex technical requirements.
The wage structure for IBEW Local 340 is built on a clear progression from apprentice to journeyman. As of the June 2026 effective date, the Journeyman Inside Wireman hourly rate is set at $53.70, contributing to a total compensation package of $85.12 when fringe benefits are included. Apprentices typically begin their careers at a percentage of the journeyman rate, often starting around 40% and receiving incremental raises every six to twelve months as they complete required classroom hours and on-the-job training milestones. By the fifth year of the program, apprentices earn near-full scale. This structured increase ensures that labor costs are predictable for signatory contractors while providing a transparent career path for workers as they master the trade and eventually achieve their California State Certification.
The signatory contractor landscape in the Sacramento region is diverse, ranging from small specialty shops to large-scale electrical primes. These contractors partner with Local 340 to staff major projects, including hospital expansions, data center builds, and municipal infrastructure upgrades. Hiring typically fluctuates based on the regional construction pipeline, with steady demand driven by the influx of state-funded initiatives and private commercial development. Contractors benefit from a pool of pre-screened, drug-tested, and state-certified electricians, reducing the overhead associated with independent recruiting. This relationship allows for rapid scaling of manpower for large projects while maintaining a consistent standard of workmanship across all signatory sites in the Sacramento Valley.
The Inside Wireman classification is the most versatile, focusing on the distribution of light and power within commercial and industrial buildings. While Local 340 may have other classifications for sound and communications or residential work, the Inside Wireman requires the highest level of training and offers the highest wage scale due to the complexity of the systems they install and maintain.
To work as a Journeyman in California, an individual must be a state-certified electrician. Local 340 ensures that its apprentices are prepared to pass the state exam upon completion of the JATC program. For those transferring in, the local requires proof of this certification to be dispatched at the full journeyman wage rate specified in the collective bargaining agreement.
Yes, through the JATC, journeymen have access to advanced training modules. These include certifications for EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program), instrumentation, fire alarm systems, and renewable energy technologies. Keeping these certifications current is essential for being eligible for specialized dispatch calls and maintaining a competitive edge in the Sacramento labor market.
Experienced electricians may join through a process called 'organizing' or 'testing in.' This involves documenting their hours worked in the trade and often passing a craft certification exam. The local's organizers work with individuals to determine where their skills fit within the current wage scale and help them transition into the unionized workforce.

IBEW Local 340 is headquartered in Sacramento, CA and dispatches electricians manpower throughout its chartered jurisdiction. Work performed inside that territory falls under the local's collective bargaining agreement and wage schedule, even when the contractor is based elsewhere and travels in.
Most locals require applicants to be at least 18, legally able to work in the U.S., hold a high school diploma or GED, pass a basic math/aptitude assessment and a drug screen, and be physically able to perform electricians work. Some Local 340 programs give preference to applicants inside the jurisdiction or to veterans. Eligibility rules are set by the local's Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), so confirm the current criteria with the hall before applying.
Apprenticeship applications go through the IBEW Local 340 JATC, not through a contractor or a recruiter. Applications typically open in defined intake windows each year: you submit the application with proof of age, education, and residency, sit for an aptitude test, and then interview. Ranked applicants are placed on an eligibility list and indentured as signatory contractors call for apprentices. Gulfstream Strategic Placements does not process apprenticeship applications, contact the Local 340 training center directly.
Electricians apprenticeships generally run four to five years, roughly 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training plus several hundred classroom hours per year. Apprentices earn a paycheck the entire time, stepping up through the wage periods until they turn out as journeymen at 100% of scale.
Signatory contractors hire through the local's hiring hall, so working under the IBEW Local 340 agreement generally means being a member or being organized in through the local's process. Journeymen from other locals can travel in by signing the out-of-work book, subject to the local's referral rules and manpower needs. Non-union electricians are usually placed with open-shop contractors instead, we recruit for both.
Rates move with the collective bargaining agreement, typically on a fixed anniversary date each year of a three- to five-year contract, with negotiated increases split between the base wage and the fringe package. The figures on this page reflect the 6/11/26 schedule; check with the Local 340 business office for any increase that has taken effect since.
