The United Brotherhood of Carpenters is holding an employee information and member support session for workers in Come By Chance in the wake of Friday’s flash fire that sent eight people to hospital.

All members and their families affected by the incident are encouraged to drop by the union hall at 89 McNamara Drive in Paradise starting at 1:00 p.m. today.

Members are encouraged to ask questions and information will be provided for those seeking supportive counselling.

The Atlantic Canada Regional Council is also hosting a province-wide zoom meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the United Steelworkers union has emergency response teams stationed on-site at the Come By Chance Refinery. Representative with the union Ron Thomas says the offices are open to all workers and family members who need someone to talk to about the incident.
