Free Take-Home COVID-19 Test at the Union Hall

Although we are no longer in a pandemic, COVID-19 continues to be a problem.  To ensure the safety of our members (active and retired) and their families, we have attained over 300 take-home COVID tests from General Motors.  The tests will be available at the Union Hall (2505 W. E. Roberts Street, Grand Prairie, TX 75051) while supplies last between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM Monday through Friday.  Let’s all stay safe!

In Solidarity,
