The IBEW System Council T-6 worked through the weekend to negotiate bonuses for those members that are not able to work from home. The minimum payout will be $300 per week. This is a bonus so it will not be included in any overtime calculations. If you have any questions please call the Union office at 508-947-2131. As of now bonuses will be paid through the month of April with the possibility of extension if circumstances warrant. Please continue to work safely in the face of this public health emergency. Do not take any unnecessary risks with your health or the health of your family.
Fraternally,

As of now, all of the details including which titles, groups, locations etc have not been completely worked out. We are hoping to have an agreement in place as well as full details by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. As soon as we have the complete agreement and details, we will relay them to the membership through the tape, our website and social media. For those of our members that interact physically with the public and customers as a function of your job, please treat this hazard as you would any other matter of safety-don’t take any chances. Follow state and federal guidelines of social distancing, and if you have any concern that a customer could be ill, do not enter the premises, call your manager.
