This is the kind of President that will help working families!

This letter is enough proof for any union member to NOT vote Trump! The ABC is continually trying to strip away your rights, conditions and benefits that have been hard fought for over the years and Trump is their water boy. Elections have consequences!

Heading: Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) for Former DOE Construction Workers
If you worked construction on a DOE site, you may be eligible for a free medical screening exam. Please call BTMed at 1-800-866-9663 or visit www.btmed.org for more information.
Overview: The Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) provides free medical screening exams to construction workers previously employed at Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons sites.
BTMed screens former DOE construction workers who may be at risk for occupational illnesses as a result of their work on DOE sites. Workers may have been exposed to work-related hazards such as radiation, asbestos, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, silica, and solvents, which can cause cancer and other serious, even fatal, health problems.
Since 1996, BTMed has provided over 38,500 medical screening exams and 6,400 low dose CT scans to former DOE construction workers. BTMed screens workers from 35 different DOE sites through a network of more than 225 specially credentialed health clinics across the country.
BTMed consists of two steps: a work history interview and medical exam. In step one, a specially trained building trades worker conducts a work history interview to determine hazardous materials the participant may have encountered. In step two, the participant receives a free medical screening examination to test for work-related health conditions, as well as other health problems. Following the exam, the participant receives a letter indicating any medical findings and assistance with referrals for further medical care.
All participation in the program is voluntary and all information is to be kept strictly confidential.
Worker Quote: “You’ll never get a physical as good as the one you receive through BTMed. Not even from your own personal doctor.” – Grady Boyd Jr., OPCMIA Local 78, Oak Ridge, BTMed Participant

To enroll, please call BTMed at 1-800-866-9663, email [email protected], or visit www.btmed.org for more information.

Workers in the trades are losing work to cheating contractors and exploited workers everyday!

When building trades unions police abuses in the construction industry, they're defending all workers, not only their members.
