IBEW LOCAL 617 HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING PROTOCOLS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS & STAFF:

We hope that you and your families are staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented ever- changing times. In March, the IBEW LU 617 Union Hall was forced to change our business operations in response to the shelter-in-place mandated for San Mateo County in an effort to help slow the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus). Our number one priority was and continues to be, the health and well-being of our members, staff, all of our families and the community.

The San Mateo County Health Policy and Planning department has required social distancing protocols and measures that the Local must implement before opening for business, which in turn will drastically change the day-to-day operations and interactions at the Union Hall that we are all accustomed to.

Effective July 6th 2020, the staff will be available in the office Monday – Friday, 8AM – 5PM. While the staff is
available, we encourage members to conduct ALL Union business by phone or email as our doors will remain
closed so that we can maintain proper Covid-19 protocols. If an office visit is necessary, it is strongly
encouraged that you call the Union Hall to make an in-office appointment.

• We encourage members to conduct ALL front counter Union business by phone or by email; this includes paying membership dues over the phone with a credit card or debit card.

• Dispatch will continue to be done online; this includes re-sign and signing the Out-of-Work-List. For questions regarding dispatch, please contact Mark Henry at (650) 740-1600. All of this information can be found on our website at www.ibew617.com.

• All portability will continue to be done online via Matt Davey. For questions regarding portability, please contact Matt Davey at (650) 222-7959.

• All merchandise purchases are suspended until further notice.

• If an office visit is absolutely necessary, it is strongly encouraged that you call the Union Hall in advance to make an in-office appointment with either a Business Rep or an Admin.

• Local 617 has limited the number of members and visitors to the Union Hall and will only be allowing one (1) member/visitor inside the building at a time. This is to allow for safe social distancing and for the Administrative staff to thoroughly sanitize and disinfect the common front office area before and after each person to conduct front counter business.

• All members/visitors to the Union Hall will be required to wear a face mask properly covering their nose and mouth prior to entering. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you by the Admin staff.

• All members/visitors to the Union Hall will be provided and required to complete a health checklist form prior to entering.

• All IBEW 617 public restrooms will be closed.

Local 617 will continue to follow CDC, the WHO, OSHA and State and Local government guidelines. While there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we also know there is long road ahead of us before things return to any resemblance of “normal”. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Thank you and stay well.
