Brothers and Sisters,
I humbly seek your support to continue serving as your First District’s International Vice President.
It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve the IBEW in this role. I have learned a great deal over that time, and I am very proud of what we have accomplished together.
I’ve been a member of the IBEW since 1990, and honoured to be part of three generations of IBEW electricians, including my father, Peter Shewchuk (45-year member), and now my son, Brandon Shewchuk (7-year member and counting).
Throughout my career, I have worked tirelessly to strengthen our union by: organizing new members and partnerships; expanding opportunities for skilled workers; supporting and fostering apprenticeship and training opportunities for IBEW members; and advocating strongly for safer workplaces, fair treatment and good-paying union jobs
My commitment to the IBEW has always been rooted in service, accountability, integrity, and results.
I ask for your consideration and vote to continue serving as your IVP for a second term.
In Solidarity,
RUSS SHEWCHUK

Growing our Market Share
Growing our Market Share
The future of the IBEW depends on growth. Growth in membership, in market share, in opportunities for workers and their families. By organizing new members, bringing more employers under IBEW agreements, and expanding our presence across industries, we strengthen our collective voice and ensure future generations inherit a stronger union than the one we have today.

Building Influence that Delivers Results
If the IBEW is not at the table, others will make decisions for us. Our vision is to ensure the voices of skilled union workers are heard wherever decisions are made about energy, infrastructure, workforce development, labour policy, and Canada’s economic future. Influence creates opportunity, and opportunity creates jobs for our members.
