After voting down a last, best, and final offer on November 2, 2020, Local 776 members employed at the Navistar parts distribution center in Manchester, PA decided to take a stand and went out on strike.

In August 2020, Navistar International Inc., a dominant global corporation in the automotive industry, notified Local 776 they were terminating their members’ Collective Bargaining Agreement effective October 31, 2020 if a new successor contract was not in place. This move backed the workers into a corner and forced them to either accept a subpar contract that raises the costs of their health insurance, kept retirement contributions stagnant, wages that would not keep up with the cost of living, and fundamentally change their working conditions, or turn it down and strike to take a stand for better wages, hours, and conditions.

We are now on day ten of the strike; the members are only requesting a fair contract that secures fair wages, affordable healthcare and a retirement plan for current and future teamsters who are employed by Navistar. Members have been striking 24/7 and will continue until a successor contract is in place.

Please show your support for your striking brothers and sisters by walking with them at 105 Steam Boat Blvd, Manchester PA 17345.
