Emails

[ch 5: page 36]

When you send emails to members (or non-members) remember that you must not disclose someone’s union membership to anyone else. If you are sending an email to a number of recipients and identifying them as either members or non-members, use the “bcc” (blind carbon copy) field in the email to list their addresses, and send it to yourself. That way, yours will be the only email address that is visible.
