As the #coronavirus outbreak raises havoc on our daily lives, both personal and professional, it is important not to panic, take care of the most vulnerable in our community, and follow the instructions laid out by #publichealth experts at #CDC, #WHO and your local health professionals.
1. Wash your hands
2. Practice social distancing
3. Refrain from stockpiling a large number of disinfectants and other supplies in general (Having 5 bottles of hand sanitizers will not protect you, every person in your community having one bottle each might)
This picture explains the importance of #socialdistancing. Remember you may not be in the at-risk group but you can be a carrier that transmits the virus to other vulnerable people in your community.

Brothers and Sisters of Local 12:
I have received notification from the New York State and New York City Building Trades that projects that are deemed non essential will be shut down in the next few days. This needs to be done to help contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Many of you unfortunately may be sent home. These are trying times but I know we will get through this. We have faced many hardships before and I know we can overcome this. For those of you who are laid off, you can file for unemployment benefits. If you need any assistance, you can contact myself, the agents, Anthony or Al.
Fraternally,
John Jovic
Business Manager/FST

SUPPORT THE TROOPS WEAR RED ON FRIDAY - EVERY FRIDAY
The Americans who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not “organized” to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, would like to start a grassroots movement using the membership of the Special Operations Association, and Special Forces Associations, and all their friends, simply to recognize that Americans support our troops. We need to inform the local VFW’s and American Legion, our local press, local TV, and continue carrying the message to the national levels as we start to get this going. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday, and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every RED – blooded American who supports our young men and women,
WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV — let’s see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of RED much like a home football game at a university.
If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED – and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being.
You will feel better all day Friday when you wear RED!
Let’s get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
Please forward this to everyone you know!!
Wear RED on Fridays . SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

“You are demanding that this city will respect the dignity of labor. So often we overlook the work and the significance of those who are not in professional jobs, of those who are not in the so-called big jobs. But let me say to you tonight that whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity…it has dignity and it has worth…All labor has dignity.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AGAINST UNIONS:
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Union Workers are not overpaid and you are just simply underpaid. Think about it. Think about how much you are really worth at work. How much do you value yourself?

- Condensation control and mold prevention
- Personnel protection from hot or cold surfaces
