On Saturday December 7, 2019 the Union Hall became Santa’s Christmas Land as Local 776 held its Christmas Party for members and retirees children and grandchildren. After a stop at Santa’s workshop for a gift next up was a visit with the Big Man himself! Followed by food, drinks, assorted sweet treats and a trip to the face painter! “These kids are our future. With our diverse membership it’s conceivable that when these kids join the workforce many of them will become Teamsters and they will remember the time they shared at the Union Hall” commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson. “With hurried daily life it’s important to be able to have quality time with our families and friends. I would like to thank the Officers, Agents, and Staff for all the time and effort put forth to insure the party was a success!”

The Union Hall was packed with members and their families!

All smiles from this Member and his family!

Christmas outfits were the order of the day!

Thanks to the Smileys who baked 300 dozen cookies to make sure everybody's sweet tooth was satisfied!

Did you know that the U.S. Postal Service is the most popular federal agency? USPS provides critical services to the American public, but now it’s at risk. If we don’t all act soon, USPS could be privatized. Last year, the White House announced proposals to privatize the Postal Service. Postmaster General Megan Brennan is leaving the agency in January, and it’s likely that the White House’s next pick will have privatization high up on the agenda. We can’t let that happen—it's time to mobilize support to protect the U.S. Postal Service. Follow the link below to take action:

Now, more than ever, the U.S. Postal Service is at risk of privatization. The people expect—and deserve—a postmaster general who will uphold the USPS’s critical importance as a public service.
