Note: CONSTRUCTION remains “ESSENTIAL WORK” and CAN CONTINUE. Any members that are experiencing symptoms or illness are urged to stay home and seek professional medical advice.
The Regional Council and Local Union offices will remain operational to assist with your calls and our Safety Department is always available to discuss and help with any issues or concerns you may be experiencing.
