Tuesday November 6, 2018 is Election Day in Pennsylvania. In this important mid-term election Pennsylvanians will be electing state and local officials, among them the Governor of Pennsylvania.

Veterans Day is just a few days after Election Day. What better way to honor those who served our Country to protect the rights and freedoms we enjoy than to exercise your right to vote; free to support the candidate of your choice without fear of reprisal, a right most of us take for granted but denied people in other parts of the world.

In spite of all the industrial growth in York County there is still a large agricultural base in the County. Driving through the area this is evident in the fields of corn reaching toward the sky.  In late summer this display of corn leads to an annual event: The York-Adams County Central Labor Council’s Corn Roast.

This year labor leaders, rank and file members, and friends of labor gathered to share in good food, fellowship, and corn! It’s a time to meet with others who share many of the same concerns facing organized labor.

Again this year Local 776 was on hand with our hospitality truck and grill. Local 776 Trustee Rob Smiley handled the cooking chores assisted by his wife Janet and son Caleb. Also on hand from Local 776 were Business Agents Tim Turek and Dave Wolf, 776 Vice-President Dave Pogue, and Retiree Kittie Hake.

Along with the usual picnic fare from the grill there was a large assortment of other foods and desserts to satisfy everyone’s appetite. Oh, and plenty of York County corn!

A good crowd was on hand from various Unions across the County

Local 776 Grill Master Rob Smiley kept the food coming...

...And there was plenty of York County Corn for everyone!

Local 776 has scheduled meetings to review member's concerns following the rejection of the UPSF tentative agreement. Full details can be found below:

Hurricane Florence pummeled North Carolina with record rainfall amounts, and consequently record flooding. Major highways were shut down as the floodwaters surpassed previous record high levels. Utz Foods of Hanover, PA stepped up, donating two trailer loads of non-perishable products through the Red Cross. The Red Cross again knew who to call for disaster relief transport; they didn’t hesitate to contact Local 776. As soon as Local 776 Driver Rich Stover could get the truck fueled he was on his way to the Utz Foods warehouse and then to North Carolina. Rich made two trips to Fayetteville NC to deliver the needed supplies. Like the side of the truck says “People Helping People”. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work Rich!

Ready to Help When Disaster Strikes
