Recovery Night!  

Mental Health and Substance use disorder has always plagued the construction trades for many decades. We have all worked with someone that has battled with Mental Health/Substance Issues or you, yourself may be batting with these issues. Please know that you are not alone and that you can always rely on Me, Anthony or Edgar to assist you with any issue you may have. Also know that those private conversations you have with us will always remain private and stay between us. Our may concern and focus is the health and well being of all our brothers and sisters of this Local. I challenge all of us to speak up if you see one of our fellow brothers and sisters struggling in life. If you do not feel comfortable with saying something to that person directly, reach out to one of your business representatives to let them know. We have resources and people on staff that are trained to deal with these types of situations. Just this past weekend I had to attend the funeral of someone that passed due to an overdose and unfortunately this was not the first person I knew that passed because of substance use. I will always do everything in my power to assist anyone of you or your family members in getting you the help you need. I am one phone call away at 408-427-7160.    

Please see the flier below for our upcoming Recovery Night on October 3^rd that has all the details for the event on it.
