Brothers & Sisters, 

As we enter the fall, COVID-19 cases unfortunately remain high across the Commonwealth. In order to prioritize the health and safety of you and your family, and follow statewide guidance to reduce gatherings to a maximum of 50 people, we are canceling our union meeting this month.

This canceled in-person meeting was previously scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, September 3. Please reach out to the Union Hall or your Business Agent with any questions or concerns.

The changing of the seasons also brings some good news. Our apprenticeship training program is kicking off its school year next week. We’ve created a hybrid program that follows safety precautions and combines socially distanced classroom instruction with online learning. Welcome back to all our apprentices, and thank you to our Training Center staff for all their hard work and preparation.

We look forward to seeing everyone once again, in person, once it is safe to do so.

Stay well and be safe.

In Solidarity,


Tom Kerr
Business Manager/Financial Secretary
