The Independent Electrical Contractors, Inc. (IEC) is a national trade association for merit shop electrical and systems contractors.〔http://www.ieci.org/index.mv?screen=6〕 IEC has about 3,700 member companies in about 70 chapters throughout the USA,〔http://www.ieci.org/index.mv?screen=10_Chapter_Listings&xsub=7〕 ==History== Founded in 1957 as the Associated Independent Electrical Contractors of America, the primary goal of the group was to consider and deal by all lawful means with common problems of management, distribution, employment, and financial functions of the electrical construction industry; to foster cooperative action in advancing the common purposes of its members; and promote activities that enable the industry to be conducted with the greatest economy and efficiency.〔http://www.ieci.org/index.mv?screen=671〕 The association's first offices were located in Texas and in 1962, IEC was granted a certificate of incorporation. IEC convinced the U.S. Department of Labor to adopt national pattern standards of Apprenticeship and Training. And for the first time, registered apprenticeship was recognized across the country for those adopting the "Open Shop" philosophy. In subsequent years, IEC grew into a nearly 70-chapter association representing over 3,000 members and nearly 90,000 electrical workers. IEC has expanded its alliance to include over 10,000 apprentices who are in the process of learning to become prominent and productive electricians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independent Electrical Contractors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
