Teammates, We have decided to proceed with normal operations at the Wichita site. However, we want to ensure that the safety of our employees remains the top priority. If you feel that it is unsafe for you to come to work, please assess the situation and make the decision that you believe is best for your well-being. Remember, if you do not feel secure coming to work, please notify your supervisor. Your safety is of utmost importance to us. For those employees who find it challenging to come to work and are unable to work remotely, please clock EXAB or use your accrued leave. If you can work from home, we highly encourage you to do so. We anticipate the site will be operating as usual with the first shift on 2/19/2025, but we will keep monitoring the conditions and communicate any changes accordingly. Please take care of yourselves and stay safe during this period. If you have any concerns, questions, or require assistance, do not hesitate to contact your supervisor. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Best regards, Justin Welner (fb)
