| This week’s labor & safety news and insights for construction leaders
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
It is bittersweet for me to report that Thursday, Nov. 6, will mark the final edition of Construction Dive’s Labor & Safety weekly newsletter. For four years, the newsletter has strived to bring our readers the most impactful news and in-depth analysis on the skilled trades shortage, recruiting, retention, safety and workplace culture.
But worry not. Though the newsletter may no longer hit your inbox every Thursday, the topics covered remain vital to Construction Dive’s editorial mission. We will continue to provide industry-leading coverage of the key stories impacting the people on the jobsite.
And the Thursday weekly is not our only offering. I encourage you, if you haven’t already, to subscribe to our Daily newsletter, as well as our Infrastructure and Tech weeklies. You’ll be certain to catch our regular safety- and labor-related articles there.
Thank you, as ever, for reading, and stay safe!
