A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT ED THOMPSON
If you haven’t already done so please take a moment to register as a Local 776 member or retiree.
This past July employees of the Mifflin County Correctional Facility (MCCF) contacted Local 776 Organizer Ashley Cerzullo concerning representation by Local 776. At the time, the employees were represented by an association known as ICOP but were dissatisfied with the representation they were receiving. Once the employees had signed authorization cards requesting Local 776 as their bargaining agent ICOP relinquished the representation rights of their members to Local 776. Upon joint certification by the Labor Board of the change, Mifflin County recognized the Local as the members’ new bargaining representative. The new Teamster members number approximately 45 and include correctional officers, sergeants, corporals, and the maintenance dept.
Local 776 Business Agent Shane Weaver then went to work as the new members’ Business Agent. No stranger to corrections Shane currently represents Local 776 members at Dauphin County Prison, Perry County Prison, and York County Prison. The current MCCF collective bargaining agreement will remain in place until it expires in 2024. The parties agreed to follow the grievance procedure as circumstances dictate until the members ratify a new agreement. Shane is currently working on having Union Steward elections so the members will have Union representation on site.
On behalf of everyone at Local 776 welcome to the Teamsters!
