From Bill Londrigan:
I wanted to let you know that we have been working over the weekend with our partners with the National AFL-CIO and United Way on plans for union member relief efforts in the affected areas.
I will let you know today how your local can make contributions to our relief fund and plans for other relief efforts. We will be trying to contact union members to check on their status and identifying those that have been impacted.
In the meantime, if you have identified members of your union that need assistance please compile to those names and contact information so we begin assessing the needs of our members and their families. With such devastating and widespread destruction there will be much to be done.
Thanks to all of those who have already pitched in! Please keep all of those impacted by this terrible event in your thoughts and prayers.
In Solidarity, Bill.
