Mental health & Suicide Prevention

UA Local 469 and P.I.P.E. are launching a labor/management Suicide Prevention Campaign pilot this September in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month. We see this year as a critical starting point—a chance to begin the conversation, take meaningful first steps, and build momentum. Our goal is to lay the groundwork in 2025 so we can expand our efforts in the years ahead. We invite all UA Local 469 signatory contractors to join us in planning and executing this important initiative. For additional details on the 2025 campaign plan, view the 2025 Suicide Prevention Campaign Kickoff Presentation.
