The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first detected in China and has now emerged in almost 90 locations internationally, including 500 confirmed cases within the United States as of March 9, 2020. With the complete clinical picture of COVID-19 not fully known along with the CDC’s expectation that the number of confirmed cases will continue to rise, members of the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) may have concerns regarding the disease and how to handle employment matters during this outbreak. As the situation is emerging and continually evolving, ASA will monitor all federal agency developments and guidance to supply our members with the most up to date information available.
The ASA has collected numerous materials from a wide variety of sources and developed this Coronavirus Resource Guide to provide our members with a comprehensive resource to best prepare for employment disruptions as COVID-19 cases continue to be discovered.

WINTER ROAD SAFETY
As a reminder, the MoDOT Traveler Information Map http://traveler.modot.org/map/ and a free mobile app version, report winter road condition information for Missouri state highways.
Go beyond the first glance. Zoom in on the map to see conditions ahead during breaks from the road.
And when pavement shows the first sign of slickness, find a warm, safe place to pull over and wait for safer driving conditions.
After all, the most important item in any truck sits behind the steering wheel..

The Tom Owen’s Memorial Scholarship was created to honor long time employee of Charles E. Jarrell Contracting. Tom Owens(10-9-55 to 4-29-08) worked for Jarrell for 20 plus years. While at Jarrell, Tom served as Jarrell’s CFO, Controller, Safety Director and Office Manager. He was also responsible for managing public relations, and he was the corporate liaison for area unions. He was truly one of a kind, so on his passing C.E. Jarrell and ASA Midwest Council worked together to establish the memorial scholarship in his name, to honor his memory, and assist well deserving young adults with their pursuit of higher education degrees.
