December  UNION  MEETINGS - TBD

Due to Governor Inslee’s proclamation which was announced on Sunday November 15, group indoor gatherings have been substantially curtailed. In compliance with the Governor’s Office, State Agencies, and the Spokane Regional Health District we will continue monitoring the situation and seek guidance from state and local authorities later in the month to determine whether or not it is deemed safe to hold union meetings during the month of December.  Please watch for plant postings, monitor this web-page, or call the union hall for updates.
