To all workers who are members of Local 568 of the IBEW/FIOE
On March 23, 2020, in a press conference given by the Premier of Québec, Mr. François Legault announced the closing of all businesses deemed nonessential (construction) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 for a period of three (3) weeks, starting Tuesday, March 24 at midnight, or earlier if possible, and anticipating a return on April 14, 2020: “[…] la province du Québec fait une pause durant trois semaines (the province of Quebec is taking a three-week break) […],“ he said. Even if April 14, 2020, is the return date anticipated by the Legault government, it is still the duty of each member to stay informed through information networks.
In solidarity,
Guy Fournier
Business Manager local 568
