    Local 776 held their annual Children’s Christmas Party, sort of, as a “Drive-thru” on Saturday, December 9, 2023.

    Dec. 8, 2023 | U.S. UNIONS | The labor movement is rightfully celebrating recent contract victories by the United Auto Workers, Teamsters, SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America, which together cover nearly 650,000 workers.
    NYT: Labor's Very Good Year
    12/07/23 - Teamsters Local 122
    Employers do have real advantages when seeking to suppress unions. If an employer fires a worker for trying to organize a union — which is illegal — it typically takes years to litigate the case. Even if the employer is found guilty, it will at most have to pay back wages and some other “make whole” compensation, not a financial penalty for the wrongdoing. So there’s little disincentive to violating the law.
