Your answer to this question should be pretty cut and dry. The interviewer is not seeking your opinion on whether or not you like the IBEW. The interviewer wants to know if you have any exposure to the organization.
If you are familiar with the IBEW: 'In my current position, we work closely with the IBEW in our utilities department. We are a smaller company, so we are able to utilize their organization when it comes to safety and regulatory standards, as well as some program development needs.'
If you are unfamiliar with the IBEW: 'I have not personally interacted with the IBEW; however, I am familiar with their purpose. Do you collaborate with the IBEW here?'
