Message From the Business Manager Re: COVID-19 and Ratification

Sisters and Brothers,

A little over a week has past since the Governor declared a state wide “Stay at home” order. The Local has been working round the clock to ensure little to no disruption at the Hall for our members during these uncertain times while still maintaining the CDC’s guidelines. Every IBEW member has the ability to choose whether they continue to work or not depending on their own personal health or that of their family or other personal circumstances such as living with elderly or immune compromised relative. No member should be working who has a fever or cough or who otherwise displays symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
