Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We believe in restoring some stability in the lives of our families while they cope with the harsh realities of a work related accident. Our financial support covers basic necessities such as but not limited to: Housing payment, electric, water, heat, food, trash, vehicle, insurance, and transportation and hotel rooms for out of area medical appointments and hospital stays. The average monthly benefit to a family has ranged from $3,000-$5,000. The support we have received through donations and memberships has made it possible for NSUJL to provide this level of assistance. As more individuals and organizations become aware of our programs the requests for assistance increase. It is only through the growth of our membership and the continued generosity of others NSUJL will be able to meet the growing need.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen's goal is to assist in keeping the family of a fallen/injured IBEW Journeyman Lineman, Apprentice Lineman, Groundman, or Operator financially stable between the date of an on the job accident, until other income sources such as Workers Compensation, death benefits, etc. are received. Also, an imperative goal is to provide emergency and constant moral support for these men, women, and children after an on the job accident has occurred.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
In the event of an on the job accident, The National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen first contacts the appropriate IBEW Local Union Hall and verifies that the accident falls within our mission set forth in our bylaws. After verification, the NSUJL will contact the family to discuss their needs. If there is a monetary need, we will help them in filling out the financial assistance application. Upon completion of the application, the Board of Directors then reviews and holds a vote. Upon approval, all monies will be sent, or direct payment of bills will be processed, immediately. The NSUJL Representative (Officer, Director, or State Representative) will provide moral support from the day of the accident until there is no longer a need. Moral support resources include personal visits, private conversations, an invitation to our Sister to Sister support group, and the assistance of a local licensed therapist.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen's ability to help IBEW families in need depends solely on public and individual member support, Associate Members, Corporate Sponsors, Volunteers and donations.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
At completion of this report, the National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen has successfully assisted more than 187 IBEW families in need after an on the job accident, and has provided aid in excess of $500,000.00 to those persons. We continually provide 24 hour moral support when a need arises.
