A message from Graphic Communications Conference President Kurt Freeman, April 27, 2020:

The COVID-19 crisis is presenting our union with many challenges.  But, it is also showing us how our members and union companies have innovative ideas.  The GCC/IBT has numerous companies that have retooled their operations and are now producing face masks and other PPE (See list below). We are sure that other print shops have been making similar changes to their workflow in order to assist those in need.  

I want to remind everyone that the IBT’s Safety and Health department has published some fact sheets that are very helpful.  One in particular, The Union’s Role in the Workplace, can be accessed here. https://teamster.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ibtsafetyandhealthcovid19unionsroleinworkplacepreparationkm.pdf   Another fact sheet, Exposed and Infected Workers Rights and Employers Responsibilities can be accessed here:https://teamster.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/424covid19positiveworkerapril22.pdf and gives valuable information should someone in your workplace become infected.
