Wow thats crazy.. I'm only 12 spots away..

Not in the Local but speaking to our state inspectors, the local laid off all first year apprentices because all construction was shut down in Boston, i think it ended up being a couple hundred workers getting laid off. Other than that all companies in the area here are still going strong in all other aspects. I did hear a rumor that I think a friend today confirmed was true that the local is sending around a petition to sign and send to the state to shutdown all construction in the entire state rather than letting city officials/mayors make the call when it comes to their city... and from my understanding a lot of the guys are signing. I can understand the seriousness of everything going on but at the same point that would result in a whole lot more workers getting laid off.... i guess if i was still one of the crews working i would prefer not to be laid off but thats just my opinion.

Yeah Rique, it could be a minute before you get on. But who knows, depends on how the GC's and owners handle it when we go back to work. Deadlines mean overtime, but everyone is already losing a lot of money.

Here in TX there's approximately 240 counties. And 200 of them do not have any cases...they're mostly small populations. The Gov. Greg Abbott justified why a state lock down wouldn't benefit most of the state so he's leaving it to the major cities mayor and judges to determine the right course of action. Its working so far. In Houston (unofficial 3rs largest city in the US) Otis sent 4 mechanic and 6 helpers home. Kone/ Schindler is on reduce hour work week. TKE is day to day . Potentially going to reduce yours. As, this virus continues spreading, I can see the major cities locking down and enforcing curfews.. its definitely Humbling America. It's all in Devine order. Get fit, stay strong and support your own kitchen.

Sound Transit projects shut down Friday until May 4th.

Don’t know why the union would encourage having jobs shut down since we just entered an MOU agreement to help keep guys working. Might want to check into that a little better. Not to mention, I believe the new Agreement allows guys to furlough if they want to stop working due to virus concerns.

Colorado is open with exception of heavy metro population areas. Some resorts have said stay out!
We are working most of our crews and service team.
Anyone looking to get the heck out of the big city life hit me up we are always looking to grow the team!

Any idea on what apprentice number they’re on in Denver?

What company do you work for?

I agree, it didn't make sense to me to hear guys wanted construction shutdown - again we are a small non union shop and that's just what we have heard from state elevator inspectors and a few union guys - also heard it from a couple other workers in other locals. sounds like that whole movement didn't work though, so it may have been a small group pushing for it. Just thought it was interesting that was the rumor going around.
