Entire industries are impacted by this devastating virus known as COVID-19. Unemployment rates are hitting numbers not seen since the great depression in this country. Jobs are lost, large and small businesses have closed permanently, etc. etc. etc.

Litterally everyone, and everything, has been negatively impacted to some degree by this PANDEMIC.

YET … TRADES UNITED CONTINUES TO GROW AND THRIVE IN THIS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TIME!!!

Building and maintaining our infrastructure is paramount at a time like this.

As schools reopen … they must do so in a manner that is safe for our children. Roads need to be maintained for those traveling back to work. Our parks need fostering and nurturing to create healthy air to breathe. Buildings need to be safe and accessible for those returning to work. Older structures must be modified to accommodate our handicapped population … and the list goes on and on and on.

In short … WE MUST CONTINUE LIVING … BUT SAFE!

A sincere thank you to all the CONSTRUCTION WORKERS who make this all possible.

Their IMPACT has always been GREAT …

Their IMPACT during this GLOBAL PANDEMIC has been SPECTACULAR!

Be safe everyone … BECAUSE ALL LIVES MATTER!!!

A sincere thank you to Steve Varela (Director of Procurement) and Juan Castro (Head of Operations) for their unwavering commitment to Trades United!

That is how powerful and unique our “PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM” is right out of the gate.

TRADES UNITED has created access into the world of PUBLIC WORKS construction projects. These projects represent the HIGHEST EARNINGS in the CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

A sincere congratulations goes out to MEMBER MR. CIARI and 101 ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION. Since coming into the PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM, Mr. Ciari and 101 ROOFING have secured over $1 MILLION DOLLARS of PUBLIC WORKS ROOFING PROJECTS. They are on pace to double that figure by the end of 2019.
