For any employer where substance abuse testing is required, you must have a current Local 24/NECA card. If you took a random test during the course of the year, you are not required to test again for one year from the random testing date.

For Local 24 members that participate in the program there will be a Tool & Boot sale held in the Electrical Training Center. The prices of all tools have been subsidized by the Maryland Electrical Industry Labor Management Cooperative Committee (MEILMCC). Enclosed with this letter is a list of tools with prices. This year, those who participate in the program will be eligible to receive a voucher for $60 off with TheUnionBootPro.com to purchase Union-Made work boots. Please be ready to show your valid test receipt to the LU24 agent present at the Electrical Training Center to receive the voucher. The voucher is good for one pair of boots and expires two weeks from the testing date.
