Since taking office in 2015 the Local Union was committed to maintaining a presence in the York Area. The York Union Hall had been abandoned in 2012, allowing a bad situation to only worsen. Once the decision was made to restore the York Union Hall to its former glory the work began. Earlier this year Business Agents began working out of offices at the Hall and the facility was used for meetings with members from the area. On October 3, 2016 the York Union Hall began normal business hours with office staff working there along with the agents. It was a long tedious project, much of the work being done in-house to help contain costs, but once again the members of Local 776 have a Union Hall in York they can be proud of.

 Local 776 President  Ed Thompson had this to say, “ Our campaign promise was to restore a presence in York and what better way then to restore, and revitalize a resource we already had. Once the roof was complete the restoration was a total team effort. I’d like to thank the Stewards and their families who came out this past spring and cleaned up the exterior of the property, making it look fresh and inviting again. Also thanks to the Officers, Agents, and Staff who gave so much of their time to bring this project to completion.”
