A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT ED THOMPSON
-
Welcome To Teamsters Local 776 
Teamsters Local 776 is the largest Teamsters Local in Pennsylvania. Chartered by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1937, we are located in South-Central PA. Our diverse mix of over 8,500 members work in six different counties.
The Offices of the Local Union will be closed on Thursday November 26, and Friday November 27, 2019 in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.
What's New at IBT 776 On a cold blustery day, after 24 days on strike, the Navistar Teamster members ratified a new five-year agreement on November 28th. Highlights of the new agreement include an increase in Company contribution to the 401k plan, wage increases ranging from $1.95 to $3.00 per hour, lump sums payments, and reasonable weekly healthcare contributions.
Teamsters Local 776 Business Agent Spencer Dearth stated, “our members did everything right during the strike. From staffing and participating on the strike line 24/7, to looking out for each other needs and following extra safety precautions due to COVID-19, they clearly gave the Employer a message of their intent to strike until issues with health care contributions, wages, and general work rules were improved from the last, best, and final offer voted down on November 2nd.”
Navistar employs approximately 60 warehouse and maintenance workers at the Navistar Parts Inc. distribution center located in Manchester PA.
Navistar Members review the agreement prior to voting.
In a year like no other in recent history the upcoming Holiday Season will be not be what we would call “normal”. In what seems like a dark time we still have much to be thankful for. Our country is still the greatest nation on earth with freedoms, rights, and opportunities matched by no other nation. We as Americans are a resilient lot; we’ll find a way to safely celebrate Thanksgiving this year and safely move into the Holiday Season.
However you and your family and friends choose to celebrate Thanksgiving, please remain safe. On behalf of the Officers, Agents, Staff, and I we would like to wish everyone a Happy and SAFE Thanksgiving.
Fraternally,
Ed Thompson,
President Teamsters Local 776
With the way everyone’s lives have been affected by COVID-19 in 2020; upending everyday life, events, holidays, etc. why should the Local 776 Children’s Christmas Party be any different? With some creative thought the Local 776 Children’s Christmas Party will go on; all but with a little different look to it for 2020. See below for full details:
