Recognised Trade Union • Since 1990
Reg. 1956 / 90 சென்னை (அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்டது)
A recognised trade union affiliated with Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), fighting for the wages, working conditions, welfare and dignity of every worker and engineer of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.
Who we are
Founded in 1990 and registered as 1956/90 at Chennai, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Workers & Engineers United Union is a recognised trade union affiliated with Hind Mazdoor Sabha — representing field assistants, technicians, operators and engineers alike.
From the men who climb the poles to the engineers in the control room — we are the collective voice of everyone who runs Tamil Nadu's power system.
Wage revision, workload, transfers, promotions, inter-se seniority and safety equipment — we negotiate with the Board and the Government on every issue that touches a member's service life, and we follow each case until it is settled.
Our work runs at every level: raising collective demands before the state leadership, and walking a single member's file through the district office until it moves.
Negotiating wage revision, workload norms, arrears and service conditions.
Medical aid, bereavement support and family assistance for 4,000+ welfare members.
Safety gear, job protection and representation in disciplinary matters.
Board proceedings, seniority lists and notices — published as they are issued.

Behind every figure is a family that keeps the grid running.

Our history
From a handful of workers in 1990 to a recognised union with four state conferences behind it.
The union is formed and registered at Chennai as 1956/90.
The union holds its first state conference.
Uniform changed from half pant to full pant — the union's first win, and a matter of plain dignity for the workforce.
The second state conference, with a steadily growing membership.
Third state conference; branch offices expand across the state.
The Board formally recognises the union — a seat at the negotiating table.
Held on 14 June 2025 at Trichy Morais City, with the Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister and state ministers invited to the platform.
