April General Membership Meeting Canceled
Due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic and multiple executive orders by the Governor of Maryland, the April 10, 2020 General Membership Meeting is canceled.
Information in regards to the Pension Seminar on April 4th
Brothers and Sisters;
As you are all aware, the World Health Organization has declared the Coronavirus (Covid-19) a world wide pandemic. Multiple state and local authorities have asked that unnecessary large gatherings be canceled. Famously, the NBA has suspended its season until further notice. The leadership of Local 26 has been following this issue very closely, and has had conversations regarding how we should respond to protect the health of our Brothers and Sisters during this period of turmoil.
In order to protect our more experienced members, the Local has made the decision to cancel the upcoming retirement seminar that was to be held Saturday, April 4, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause, but while important, this seminar is not a required meeting and it is typically attended by our older Brother and Sisters. Anyone who was already signed up for the April 4th date, will need to resign up again in the near future for the next one scheduled on Saturday, October 3rd.
Additionally, we would like to assure everyone that the Local is in communication with legislative leaders and NECA to discuss how this issue may affect our industry, and steps we may take to limit the impact this health concern will have on all of us.
While this is a serious concern, the leadership of Local 26 is confident that with some common-sense protective measures and the understanding of each of you, our Sisters and Brothers will move through this with as little disruption as possible.
Below are two links that will allow each of you to get accurate and timely information regarding the impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) and simple steps to recognize and protect yourself and others from the virus.
WE WORK TOGETHER, WE FIGHT TOGETHER, WE MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER
