Business Manager Comments  

         

          Beginning Monday June 1st the hours at the union offices will go back to the normal hours of 7-4:30.

 

We are proud to announce that this month’s union meeting is scheduled as normal.  There are restrictions for meetings that we will need to enforce, so please call in and sign up with Melissa ahead of time so that we know the exact number of people to expect in attendance.

​

There has been some limited work on the road, if you are interested in working on the road please make sure to sign the travel card list.  Also, now is a great time to make sure you have an OSHA 10 card on file at the hall and your drug test is up to date.  If you don’t have an OSHA cert, please contact us and we can get you set up with an online class.  Please use good judgement when going out into public and keep your health and the health of your loved ones first and foremost!

​

The Health plan has added a new benefit to our plan called Telehealth.  Telehealth is a service offered that a member can call in and speak or video conference with a live doctor without needing to go to an office.  Through this service the doctor can assess your condition, provide a treatment plan or even send prescriptions to your pharmacy if needed.  Telehealth can even offer psychology services if you don’t wish to see a doctor in person.  If you have questions on this, please call me at the hall or our health plan at 1-800-432-2924.

 

Fraternally,
