RE:          Oregon & Washington “Shelter-In-Place” Orders

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

You may have heard that yesterday, Oregon Governor Brown and Washington Governor Inslee both issued "Stay at Home" orders requiring "non-essential" businesses to close. You may also have heard that construction was exempted from Governor Brown’s order as an "essential" industry, and that some, but not all, construction work was exempted from Governor Inslee’s order.

From the desk of the President

Greetings Local 1 Members!  It’s hard to believe the year 2020 is upon us and we are already over a month into it.  As we begin a new decade and a new chapter for our Local, we have a lot to reflect on and be grateful for. 

The following is a press release by the IUBAC.  It can be found here.
