Dear members,

As you know, the governor announced that all modes of MBTA service will be suspended all day and night on Tuesday, January 27. However, all MBTA personnel are considered essential and, therefore, are required to report to work. Every effort must be made to get to work safely. MBTA personnel are NOT included in the driving ban. If due to the extreme weather conditions your ability to report on time is compromised, you must notify the Authority that you are making every effort to report.

This will be another one of those times that 589 shows this company and our riding public that we do our job and we are not afforded the same liberties as most other workforces. We understand the role we play and the need for us to be out there through all kinds of adversities, whether it be floods, rain, blizzards, bomb scares, terrorists or anything they throw our way―because we keep Massachusetts moving!

Stay safe and call the union office with any questions: (617) 542-8212.

In solidarity,

Executive Board
Boston Carmen’s Union
