If you are a Berg Pipe Employee and you have not signed up for the employee urgent text alert program, check out your location’s media boards to enroll! This is Berg’s primary method of updating employees in times of emergencies, during closures, and more.
Situationally, we may update employees via social media, send emails which supervisors are asked to post in highly-trafficked areas, on media boards, and via an emergency banner on the bergpipecareers.com website. However, these are secondary update methods.
