AAA: Tips for Protecting Your Home During the Bitter Cold
-
Remove hoses from exterior faucets.
-
Repair or replace weather stripping around windows and doors, vents and fans, plumbing, air conditioners and electrical and gas lines.
-
Know location of water shutoff valves so water can be turned off in an emergency.
-
Keep bathroom and kitchen cabinet doors open to let warm air circulate around the pipes.
-
Use caulk or insulation to seal all cracks, holes and other openings on exterior walls.
-
Let faucets drip a little bit to prevent freezing pipes.
-
Air inside the walls, where pipes are, can be much colder than air in the room, so set the thermostat at a reasonable temperature, even if no one is home.

“Keep the tariffs that punish foreign cheaters and competitors like China. But ease them where they punish our own people — our farmers, our families and our manufacturers. Lower or exempt tariffs on specific tinplate products we don’t produce enough of here at home.”

Severance Deadline
Previously, employees had been informed that to obtain Severance Payments, they would be required to sever before their health benefits expired.
However, as the result of recent discussions between the Company & Union, employees may now wait and sever before their five-year rights expire. The date of expiration of Health Care Benefits is now no longer the deadline to file for severance.
Prescriptions UPDATE
Under our current contract, active employees filling prescriptions are restricted to the CVS Pharmacy Chain. With the nearest CVS Pharmacy being in Steubenville, the Union had also added Ted's Plaza Pharmacy, located in Weirton.
Due to the recent closing of Ted's Pharmacy, the Union has arranged
for scripts to be filled at the Kroger locations in Weirton & Steubenville:
Weirton Krogers
100 Saint Thomas Dr.
Steubenville Krogers
264 South Hollywood Blvd.
— Important —
CVS locations continue to fill maintenance drugs for active employees.
Non-Maintenance type prescriptions may still be filled at any pharmacy.
