TEAMSTERS LOCAL 676

What TEAMSTERS LOCAL 676 does

Teamsters Local 676 is a chartered local union of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), a nonprofit labor organization headquartered at 101 W Crescent Blvd in Collingswood, New Jersey. The local represents workers in southern New Jersey across a diverse set of industries including package delivery and freight (UPS, UPS Freight), student transportation (First Student), healthcare (Rush University Medical Center), beverage distribution (Sysco), and dairy/food processing (Dairy Farmers of America). It also has active contract negotiations underway with Crowley, Siegfried, PATCO, and EMR, indicating a recent broadening of its represented employer base.

The local's core offering is collective bargaining representation, contract negotiation, grievance handling, and member services funded through recurring member dues. Governance is handled by elected officers including President/Executive Officer Howard W. Wells, Secretary Treasurer Jeffrey R. Semon, Vice President Brian H. Higginbotham, Recording Secretary Roger M. Thorson, and several Business Agents, supported by a small administrative staff (office manager, receptionist, dues clerk). Members access services through a union hall, monthly general membership meetings held on the third Sunday of each month, and quarterly newsletters distributed via the downloads page.

The local operates on the UnionActive content management system, which powers its website (ibtlocal676.org) and provides a member portal, event calendar, grievance tracking, newsletter distribution, and member communications. Members are also connected to the broader IBT ecosystem, including the TeamCare Health Plan and Teamsters Health & Welfare & Pension Fund, as well as national master agreements such as the First Student National Master Agreement (2015-2020) and the 2018 UPS & UPS Freight Contract. The local's GTM motion is community-led, relying on workplace organizing campaigns to recruit new members, followed by in-person collective bargaining and contract enforcement.
