Yesterday a member of Local 795 was hit in a construction zone while working in our jurisdictional area. Luckily that member was fine and was able to go home to their family but so many times we see where that is not the case! Please slow down in work zones. That notification can wait. Our members have a job to do and have families depending on them to make it home every night!!!
