Workers shouldn’t have to wait years for their first union contract!

Workers have the right to a collective bargaining agreement after they vote for a union, but the law is full of loopholes, and companies drag out the negotiation process for years. On average today, it takes 458 days to secure a first contract!

This is a problem that we can solve right now. The Faster Labor Contracts Act establishes a reliable timeframe for first contract bargaining.  

Even with strong bipartisan support, the Faster Labor Contracts Act has waited nearly two years for a vote.

Teamsters and workers across the country are done waiting for corporate-backed politicians to hold Big Business accountable.

Tell your member of Congress to “sign the discharge petition” and bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act up for a vote! Click Here to Take Action NOW!

Shooting incidents remain a persistent and tragic reality. Because these situations are unpredictable and evolve rapidly, often concluding before law enforcement can arrive, active shooter training has become a vital component of public and workplace safety. With that in mind, Local 776 has scheduled an "Active Shooter Training Seminar" to help educate the Membership. Please see below for full details:

Workers' Day Memorial (April 28) is an annual day of remembrance and action that honors workers killed on the job or in the line of duty. For 2025, we had eight (8) deaths. Seven (7) in York County and one (1) in Adams County. Four of those deaths were Police Officers, killed in the line of duty.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the York/Adams Labor Council will host the 2026 Workers Day Memorial at the Wyndham Gardens East Venue in York, Pa. The event starts at 9:00 a.m. A breakfast will be held with a ceremony to honor those who perished afterward. If you would like to attend or for more information, please contact dgwolf776@gmail.com before April 17.

Back from their recent bus trip to Washington, DC, the Retirees Club Monthly meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th. 

The Club's April guest speaker will be Izzy Brettler from the ARBOR Group. The ARBOR Group is a team of support professionals who help current and soon-to-be retirees navigate the complex financial landscape. The ARBOR Group is no stranger to Teamsters Local 776, as it has conducted seminars tailored to the needs of soon-to-be-retired 776 members.

The meeting is open to ALL retirees from Local 776 and the former Local 430 and 992. Come on over on Wednesday and see what the club is planning for the rest of the year.
