On June 30, 2025, Local 776 President Edgar Thompson, Business Agent Spencer Dearth, and Thomas Doyle, State Program Director of the IBT, met with Pennsylvania State Representatives at the State Capitol Building to discuss issues affecting both Local 776 members and general Union issues. In attendance were Representatives Dave Delloso, Patrick Harkins, Steve Malagari, Dan Williams, Jim Haddock, and Dan Goughnour, A few of the topics discussed included impact of autonomous trucks on Union jobs and public safety, ongoing heat-related issues at UPS, and a recent workplace incident at York County Prison, which affected Local 776 members and remains under investigation. Thanks to the strength of the Local’s DRIVE Chapter and its contributing Members, access to these State Representatives was granted to address these issues and for the overall betterment of our members and the Labor movement.

Steve Ferry retired from Amsted Rail on June 27th after a 42-year career. Steve was a long-haul truck driver before settling in at Amsted Rail, and 42 years later, he’s retired! Steve worked as a forklift driver and in assembly for a while, but the majority of his time was spent running CNC lathe machining centers. As technology advanced, he worked with robots on the shop floor.
Steve and his wife Brenda have been married for 36 years and have a son living in Pittsburgh. Now that he has some free time, Steve hopes to spend more time fishing, chasing Smallmouth Bass in the Susquehanna River, and devote more time to digital photography. He and Brenda plan on traveling the United States with trips planned to Yellowstone National Park and the Tetons, along with trips to Vermont and New Hampshire, where they’ll visit Mount Washington.
Looking back, Steve reflected: It was nice being a Teamster. Ron Hicks was a good Business Agent. I enjoyed the friendships I made with my co-workers over the years and my time at Amsted.
Congratulations, Steve, enjoy your retirement, best of luck in your travels visiting our great country!
Secretary-Treasurer Ron Hicks is still busy handing out hardware; here he congratulates Member Steve Ferry and presents him with his retirement watch!

Subject: UPDATE ON BANKRUPTCY MAILING
Good Morning,
In response to calls from the former Yellow members regarding the most recent mailing, I wanted to clarify a few things.
The mailing was sent to around 4,600 people and only those that need to reconcile their claims within the bankruptcy court received the mailing. If they did not receive a letter, they did not need to; there is nothing to do and they are still included on our claim it is just for those that are shown to have several claims within the court or if there is a discrepancy on the amount they’ve listed. If members would like to know what amount we filed for on their behalf they can follow the steps below to view our submitted claims.
Visit: https://dm.epiq11.com/case/yellowcorporation/claims
Search under “Creditor” for “TNFINC”
The National Negotiating Committee filed four separate claims, one for each of the employers, on behalf of those members active at the time of their closure. Below is also a list of the claim numbers.
CLAIM #5336 IBT AND TNFINC New Penn Motor Express LLC
CLIAM #5337 IBT AND TNFINC USF Reddaway Inc
CLAIM #5338 IBT AND TNFINC USF Holland LLC
CLAIM #5400 IBT AND TNFINC YRC Inc
Within each of the claims, it includes 4 claims for each of the operating companies – 1.) WARN Act; 2.) Vacation Pay; 3.) Sick Pay; and 4.) State WARN Act. Members can find what we have for them individually within the documents which are separated by the “claim”, then sorted by Local Union and then alphabetically by last name, first name.
If they filed their own individual claim they will be allowed to search by their name under “Creditor” but it should be noted they will only be entitled to one claim in the bankruptcy court.
There are no updates at this time. The claims are all still within the bankruptcy court with no payment scheduled at this time; this includes the WARN Act and any other sick or vacation pay they may be entitled to.
