We’re Reopening! Free Masks & More!

Slowly but surely, Local 8888’s operations are returning to a “new normal.” Beginning June 15, the union hall will reopen on an appointment-only basis. Members must have arranged a prior appointment to coming to the office. Everyone entering the building will be required to wear a face mask and maintain appropriate social distancing.  Starting June 22, the union will resume full operations, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., while still requiring face masks and social distancing

Speaking of Masks…

We got you! Now, you can show 8888 pride while practicing safety. Each member can pick up 2 FREE face masks (one reusable and one disposable), beginning June 24 – August 31, 2020. The masks with the Local 8888 USW logo will be distributed each week on Wednesday and Thursday between 8:00 am – 6:00 p.m. So, mask up in safety and 8888 solidarity!
