Good Morning Brothers and Sisters,
With in part of the new Contra Costa County mandate of face coverings coming into affect on Wednesday the 22nd the company will be adding an additional $24 on out paychecks for us to buy face coverings. This will show up on your check just like the old boot allowance did back in the day. This decision has been made due to the companies orders of mask that have been delayed. The orders have been pushed back by CCHealth  for First Responders and the Medical field .
In our greatest time of need in these dark days we're going through, you're keeping our nations going and doing the work that really matters.
As you roll up your sleeves and do the work that can't be done from home, know how proud of you I am.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to stay safe at work if you’re considered essential and what you qualify for if you’ve lost your job because of COVID-19.
We’re working hard to get answers to those questions and more, and want to make sure you know what we’ve gathered so far.
Check out the videos, share them with other members in your local who have questions and check our COVID-19 webpage,

In an effort to stay connected to our members during this challenging time, we will be hosting a “USW Live: Coronavirus Laws and You” Facebook Live event on Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m. EST on our USW Facebook page.
