Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) is a national trade association representing merit shop electrical and systems contractors. Founded in 1957, IEC advocates for free enterprise in the electrical contracting industry and provides workforce development through apprenticeship and continuing education programs.
IEC typically supports policies promoting merit shop contracting, workforce development and apprenticeship programs, reduced regulatory burdens on small businesses, opposition to project labor agreements, tax policies favorable to contractors, and expanded opportunities for open competition in public construction projects.
