Henry Miller, who died more than 110-years ago, was the founder, first president and driving force behind the first union of electrical workers in North America the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Despite the key role he played in the history of the IBEW and the early labor movement, little is known about Millers life and career.
This short film from the IBEW Media Department sheds some light on the life and times of Brother Miller and the dawn of the IBEW.

Thank you to our Brother, our Founder, Henry Miller. The IBEW has changed my life and the lives of my family. I work hard every day to pass along the Brotherhood to others. I hope the work we're doing makes you proud.

My late father was a member of the IBEW. He was a gas serviceman for Pacific Gas and Electric, and the IBEW was a umbrella group for service people at PG&E's workers in both the electric and gas departments.

Thanks to IBEW L.U. 323 for the education and training so that I could provide a good life for my family. A fair days work for a fair days pay and a safe workplace. Still, we must keep up the fight for our fellow workers. Solidarity forever.

I worked for an Electrical Contractor as Design Engineer with Local 1&2 electricians in St. Louis. The original meetings(I believe is the story) to form the union building was rebuilt and I had the honor to work on the electrical system for it.

I was an apprentice about 10 years ago and the only thing we learned was that Henry fell off a pole. This film really shows what was the conditions of his accident. More electricians get killed falling off of 6 foot ladders than anything else. Safety first!!
