It’s been over a month, 37 days as of October 7^th, since the Local 776 Members at Rise dispensary went on strike. Since that time, two negotiating sessions have been held, both to no avail. While Green Thumb Industries, the parent of RISE Dispensary, continues to prosper, it has left its most valuable asset, its employees, out in the cold.

Picketing takes place every day that the dispensary is open for business. While quite a few potential customers pull up, see what’s going on, and then abruptly leave it’s time to get the word out and turn the heat up a little more.

If you are a Local 776 Member, or a friend of Labor, spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who will listen:

Don’t Purchase RISE Products!

Hurting RISE on their bottom line is the best way to bring them back to the bargaining table with an offer that rewards our Members for their dedication and hard work.

Other dispensaries in the York area would love to have your business. They can easily be found by doing a Google search for:

Let’s turn up the heat and show RISE what our collective might can accomplish!

Former Local 992 UPS Members:

Welcome to Teamsters Local 776!

Local 776 President Ed Thompson and various UPS Business Agents have scheduled meetings for the Frederick and Hagerstown, MD, facilities. Full details can be found below:

The Susquehanna Valley Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) hosted the 28th annual John Hiestand Memorial Antique Truck show in Carlisle, Pa., on August 30th. Local 776 Members, the father-son duo of Jeff and Kraig Keller, invited Local 776 to participate. Local 776 Business Agent Chalmer Edgin and Retiree Austin O’Brien, both drivers of the Local’s truck, spent the day hanging out with and greeting the owners and drivers of the many trucks that were on display. Many of the trucks were retired freight trucks from past Union carriers. While The Local’s tractor is not yet an antique, it was welcomed to the event, allowing show spectators to view and compare vehicles from different eras.

A variety of trucks of different types, styles, and colors were on display.

The Susquehanna Chapter of the ATHS was founded in 1992. Currently, Kraig serves as President, and his father, Jeff, serves as Treasurer. The chapter currently has 110 members who meet monthly. In addition to the truck show, other social events are held, including an annual picnic for the members. Many Members own, restore, and maintain antique trucks, but it is not a requirement for membership; it is simply an interest in antique trucks and a desire to meet with others who share that interest. If you’re interested in learning more about the Local Chapter, Kraig can be reached at 717-332-7669.

That's a lot of chrome and horsepower lined up with the Local 776 truck!

Commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson: “Thanks to Kraig and Jeff for the invitation to the show. As the motto on the Local’s trailer states, “Our History Creates Our Future.” Participating in the show helps the public remember the Teamsters are a huge part of the Trucking Industry, past and present.”

Three weeks, 22 days; 528 hours, no matter how you look at it, that’s how long the Local 776 members at RISE Dispensary have been on strike. The Members remain Determined, strong, and united in their quest for a fair contract. They’re back on the strike line today, and every day thereafter until they are rewarded with the contract they deserve.

Join them today in a show of support for these courageous working men and women.
