Bulletin #17-20
March 19, 2020
COVID-19 EMERGENCY GANG UNITS
The Local will be having sign-ups available to our Class A members starting Thursday morning, March 19, 2020 for container and lashing gang units at the Dispatch Hall from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
We will be collecting swing unit sign-ups in groups of four (4). UTR units in groups of seven (7) and lashing units in groups of eight (8). If you don’t have a group, we will take individual sign-ups and assign to a group. These “gang” units are an emergency contingency plan if we are further mandated by the government to control the amount of people in our hall. We have business exemptions currently, but the rules are changing hourly.Local 13 is being proactive rather than reactive to any catastrophic mandate from the government.
Hopefully we will not have to use these drastic measures, but we must be prepared. There will be more information on how we would dispatch these “gangs” if we have to use these emergency plans.
Please remain calm and practice physical distancing and good hygiene.
