On March 13th, the United States Government issued a Proclamation on Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak. The UBC is taking this issue very seriously and recommends that each regional council follows the CDC's guidelines for containing the virus' spread to keep staff, members, and end-users safe.  

 

Throughout the District, states are issuing mandatory closures of bars, restaurants, and other social meeting places, but many construction sites are still operational. Our union is proud to have members that are ready to perform safe and productive work, but who are also trained in additional safety requirements necessary in these uncertain times.

 

Our regional councils are following this issue closely to act in the best interest of their members to keep them and their families, staff, and the general public safe while sharing updates as they progress. Whether you are a member, a staff person, an end-user, a community or industry partner, please check in with your regional council for up to date information. Helpful links are included below. 

 

Once we get through this difficult time, we will emerge smarter, safer, and more aware than ever that we are stronger when we stand together!
