THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF OUR MEMBERS AND STAFF REMAINS OUR TOP PRIORITY

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY-TREASURER

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I want to thank all of you for the support you have shown over the past months.

The Covid-19 issues that we have been facing are ever changing and we are doing our very best to assure the safety of our membership and staff and all precautions have been taken to maintain that safety.  Fortunately, we have not had any one of our staff affected by this disease.

We are continuing with the steps that we have taken including no walk ins at the Union Hall – entry is by appointment only and all inside meetings meet or exceed the CDC guidelines.

We will continue to follow all CDC and state mandates.  Hopefully this situation will eventually be under control and we can all get back to some degree of what our lives used to be.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

I ask for your patience and help during this very difficult time.

WE WILL ALL GET THROUGH THIS UNITED TOGETHER - STAY SAFE

Fraternally,

Dave Lucas

Secretary-Treasurer

Message from the Secretary-Treasurer

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I am writing on behalf of the Officers and Staff of Teamsters Local 671. The current situation with this coronavirus finds all of us in a very unfamiliar way.  While the rules are changing daily, we are trying to keep members informed.

We are receiving many questions that there are no direct answers for.  Above all, we all need make sure that we along with our families are safe.  Some of the questions regarding what to do if you test positive, have been exposed to the virus or you are not feeling well need to be decided by you.  We have been in touch with virtually all the companies that we represent and they have concurred that if you feel you should not go to work, let the employer know you will not be disciplined for absenteeism related to this virus.

During this crisis, the Business Agents and I will be limiting our on-site visits for obvious reasons. Our Business Agent’s reports will be on our website soon. Our office is currently operating daily with the mandatory restrictions in place. We are all available via email, text and phone at the numbers and addresses listed below.

Please read all the postings on our website at www.teamsters671.com, our Facebook page and the bulletin boards in your workplaces or simply call the Union Hall.  We will answer the questions that we know the answers to.

Again, above all, keep your families safe and practice the precautions that have been put into place for this reason.  Due the daily changes being imposed, as of the writing of this letter, many things could have already changed.

Fraternally yours,

Dave Lucas
