On behalf of the Officers, Business Agents, and staff of Local 776 I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July. We enjoy freedoms, liberties, and rights unmatched in the world.
The pandemic still is with us, inflation is at record levels, and supply chain issues continue to be a challenge. Americans are hard working, resilient workers, and as with other difficulties we have faced over time these current problems will be overcome. It is all of us working together, looking out for our families, our friends and co-workers, and others in our communities that will see us through. When things look bleakest that is when our spirit, our will to overcome shines through the most.
Now mater how you plan to spend the July 4th Holiday take a moment to Honor America and join with me in wishing our great Nation a Happy Birthday!
“I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.” Abraham Lincoln
Fraternally,
Ed Thompson, President Teamsters Local 776
