IBEW 1837 at Central Maine Power Company (CMP)

Members working at Central Maine Power (CMP) comprise the largest bargaining unit of IBEW 1837, with approximately 650 members represented in the original contract. The contract covers field and support workers in the line departments, meter departments, substations departments, communications center and field offices. There is one customer service phone center included in the bargaining unit, and one that is not represented. In February of 2005 the Area and System dispatchers voted to join the union and subsequently became members of the bargaining unit.

In January 2006 an additional group of 47 employees voted to join the union. This group, consisting of engineers in various departments, programmers, GIS and CADD technicians, offices services personnel, technical services representatives, and a variety of other support personnel are covered under a separate contract.

Collectively, these union members design, build, repair and maintain the electric grid serving the largest customer base of any electric utility in Maine, and provide customer service assistance to residents and businesses in most of southern, central and western Maine. They also control the balance and flow of electricity across the grid beyond their own customer base into other parts of Maine and New England.

Central Maine Power Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy East Corporation.

IBEW 1837 members who work at CMP belong to either Unit 6, 7, 8 or 9, depending on their work locations.
