Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
Thank you to all you members on the front line, and thank you for your professionalism.  These are trying times, and you showed the DOT that when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
 
At the beginning the DOT was not prepared with the PPE's and the Teamsters pushed forward to acquire them at all locations; also we gained furloughs for most - not all - members and we are still at the table as I write.
 
There has been questions about some type of hazard pay and we are looking in to that, because it's well deserved.
 
And FYI Pennsylvania DOT last week laid off and froze the pay of 5200 state workers.
 
Let's all begin the day with a grateful heart.
 
United we stand Divided we beg
 
Be safe
 
George E. McGilloway
Secretary-Treasurer/ Principal Executive officer
