Inside Wireman/Journeyman Travelers


follow these steps:

STEP 1: eligibility

To sign the books, travelers must provide the following:

  • Photo ID or Driver’s License

  • Current paid dues receipt

  • Current Letter of Introduction or Travel Letter from your home Local (dated within one year)

  • Termination slip (if you previously worked a job through Local 26)

  • Completed referral registration form (see step 3 below)

Important: If you are on furlough, you may not sign any out-of-work list. While on furlough, you are still considered employed by your contractor and must remain in contact with them as instructed regarding your return to work.

Submission Guidelines
Please note: All documents must be submitted at the same time (in one email or upload). Submitting items separately will delay your registration on the Available-for-Work list. You will not be registered until all required documentation is received.

Where to Send Your Documents
Send your travel letter and supporting documents to: jwregistration@ibewlocal26.org



Step 3: Referral Registration for Available-to-Work Form

When completing the registration form, you must upload all of the following:

  • Photo of your termination slip

  • Driver’s license

  • Paid dues receipt
