COVID-19 Statement from Local 4340

March 17, 2020

CWA Local 4340 Members,

As the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve, we are working to ensure that our employers are complying with public health guidance and requirements.  Our members and their families have all been impacted by what is going on in our country and the world.  Some members are included in the categories which could be most impacted by COVID-19.  By now, you all may have heard the recommendations in the news or online from CDC and various departments of health, practicing proper sanitary procedures and social distancing, etc.…  Please follow these recommendations as best you can.

During this time, your Union has been in constant contact with employers to make sure that all necessary sanitary measures are being done for our members that work at inside offices and in the field.  The demands that we are making are similar to what is being asked by other CWA Locals and Unions.

Some of our employers have begun to provide various access to excused time off work.  We are working to get the details to be able to answer questions about this time and will work with the Stewards to pass along information that is impactful to your employer.

Please understand that things are changing almost daily and the Officers, Business Agents and Stewards are working hard to make sure everyone has the most up-to-date information as possible.  As new information becomes available and new developments occur, we will continue to pass on the information.  These are the times that we must work together to help one another.  These are the moments that should not divide us, but unite us for the good of our country and each other.

We will continue to work with our various employers daily to demand our members be kept safe and hope that this virus passes quickly without further harm to anyone.  If you have any questions, please contact the Local @ 216-635-4340.

In Solidarity,

Gary, Dave and Linda
