In the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) and to keep you informed of the latest news affecting IBEW Local 43, we are providing you with the following:
GOVERNOR CUOMO'S EXECUTIVE ORDER
As you may have heard, Governor Andrew Cuomo has updated his Executive Order, and is reopening New York State in phases called New York Forward.
New York Forward:
Overview: Reopening in Phases
Businesses in each region will re-open in phases. Re-opening refers to non-essential businesses and business activities. Essential businesses and business activities that are open will remain open.
The guidelines below apply to both non-essential businesses in regions that are permitted to re-open and essential businesses throughout the state that were previously permitted to remain open.
Eligibility for reopening will be determined by
health metrics
for each region.
Here is a breakdown of industries in each phase:
Phase One: Starting May 15th Central New York, Finger Lakes, Mohawk Valley, North Country and Southern Tier are allowed to reopen
- Construction

With these new guidelines in place more of our construction projects that were paused will begin to allow more of
our members to get back to work.
Furthermore, we are working on our SOP's (standard operating procedures) to safely reopen our Union Office, Funds Office, and Training Center. Until then we will be working under the current pause guidelines we currently have in place
.
Please Brothers and Sisters stay safe, be well, and continue to visit our website

Remember, the safety and well-being of our members and their families will ALWAYS come first.
