\"\"<\/h1>\n

Based on guidance concerning social distancing to slow and limit the rate of infection of COVID-19, or the Coronavirus, the IAM is temporarily suspending programming at the Winpisinger Education and Technology Center for two weeks, beginning on Saturday, March 14.<\/p>\n

The decision was made after reviewing updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and state and local health agencies.<\/p>\n

Programming is currently slated to resume on Saturday, March 28, but IAM and W3 officials are closely monitoring the situation and will extend the programming suspension if necessary.<\/p>\n

The IAM\u2019s paramount concern is that members and staff who attend W3 Center programs can learn, study and work in a safe and healthy environment. The decision was not made lightly, since education is critical to the IAM\u2019s future as a powerful labor organization.<\/p>\n

Participants in affected programs have been contacted directly. Any updates to the status of the W3 Center\u2019s operations will be communicated on\u00a0goIAM.org<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0winpisinger.iamaw.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All IAM members and staff are encouraged to heed advice of health officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
