First Aid Training Draw
Updated Nov 24th, 2023
Although First -Aid is not a requirement for Dispatch, Local 73 strongly encourages members to take training. It can help you in any emergency situation. It can save the life of a family member, or one of your Union Brothers or Sisters. National Health & Safety has donated a Cornhole Game, and we will be doing a random draw for the prize. Everyone who takes our provided First-Aid training will go into the draw.
