Brothers and Sisters,
First off, I would like to thank you and commend you for your courage, hard work and patience through these unprecedented times. It is your skill and dedication that will assist in the efforts to provide our communities with the essential services they need to get through the COVID-19 outbreak.
As we stated last week, IBEW Local 340 is still open and operating as usual. We have been working day and night to be able to provide the same services we normally provide as we navigate through City, County, and State and National orders. During this time, you may reach a voicemail as we are experiencing a high volume of calls. Please leave us a message and we will reach back out to you as soon as we can. It is of the utmost importance to verify that we have your most current contact information in our system as we are sending out all updates through Email and Text. If you are uncertain on how to update your information, please contact our office at (916)927-4239.
On Friday 3/20/2020, IBEW local 340 representatives and our partners at NECA met to evaluate all of the information provided by National NECA, IBEW International Office, State of California, and Local County and City orders to ensure that our jurisdiction is operating in a safe and efficient manner while providing essential services. Furthermore, we wanted to be certain that everyone is operating with consistency as we are receiving new orders and National MOU’s almost hourly. We will be meeting daily to process new information and issues as they arise. The Information listed below has been reviewed by all parties and should provide some guidance through these unchartered times.
