The International Brotherhood of Teamsters supports the introduction of the Know Your Labor Rights Act by Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), and Representatives Riley Moore (R-WV) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), legislation that would strengthen workplace transparency by requiring employers to clearly inform workers of their federally protected labor rights.

“Greedy corporations and corrupt managers in nearly every sector of the economy put in overtime trying to stop working people from organizing,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “But the right to organize is sacred, and American workers should be informed of their legal right to do so. The Know Your Labor Rights Act would help put power back in the hands of working people. It would mandate that employers post information about labor rights in an easily accessible place so that workers remain informed and empowered.”

Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), passed by Congress in 1935, workers are guaranteed the right to organize, join a union, and collectively bargain. Despite these longstanding protections, employers are not required to inform workers of these rights. The Know Your Labor Rights Act would change that by requiring employers to display information about labor rights in visible areas and notify new employees, or face penalties for non-compliance.

Recent polling shows broad bipartisan support, with 71 percent of Americans favoring a requirement that employers post notices of NLRA rights, underscoring the public’s strong backing for workplace transparency and fairness.

Workers shouldn’t have to wait years for their first union contract!

Workers have the right to a collective bargaining agreement after they vote for a union, but the law is full of loopholes, and companies drag out the negotiation process for years. On average today, it takes 458 days to secure a first contract!

This is a problem that we can solve right now. The Faster Labor Contracts Act establishes a reliable timeframe for first contract bargaining.  

Even with strong bipartisan support, the Faster Labor Contracts Act has waited nearly two years for a vote.

Teamsters and workers across the country are done waiting for corporate-backed politicians to hold Big Business accountable.

Tell your member of Congress to “sign the discharge petition” and bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act up for a vote! Click Here to Take Action NOW!

Shooting incidents remain a persistent and tragic reality. Because these situations are unpredictable and evolve rapidly, often concluding before law enforcement can arrive, active shooter training has become a vital component of public and workplace safety. With that in mind, Local 776 has scheduled an "Active Shooter Training Seminar" to help educate the Membership. Please see below for full details:

Workers' Day Memorial (April 28) is an annual day of remembrance and action that honors workers killed on the job or in the line of duty. For 2025, we had eight (8) deaths. Seven (7) in York County and one (1) in Adams County. Four of those deaths were Police Officers, killed in the line of duty.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the York/Adams Labor Council will host the 2026 Workers Day Memorial at the Wyndham Gardens East Venue in York, Pa. The event starts at 9:00 a.m. A breakfast will be held with a ceremony to honor those who perished afterward. If you would like to attend or for more information, please contact dgwolf776@gmail.com before April 17.
