Business Representatives

Local 988’s Business Representatives represent over 1,000 members each and receive many calls throughout the day.

If you are trying to get in touch with your Business Representative and are unable to reach them by phone, please make sure to leave a detailed message.

If you do not leave a message, your phone call may roll off of their “missed calls” list and cause a delayed response.

If you have an emergency or your call is of an urgent nature, please provide those details in your voice mail message to your Business Representative. This information allows them to prioritize their return calls accordingly.
