This Website is dedicated to the hard working members of Teamsters Local Union 767 who have gotten us to where we are today.
For more than fifty years, Local 767 has fought many battles, with different Companies, to secure our rightful place within these Companies. For this hard work, we maintain a strong voice, a safe work environment, above average wages in our communities, health coverage, job security, and many benefits that are too numerous to mention. For approximately one fourth of these fifty years, we have been under the guidance and leadership of our current President and Business Manager, Brother Wesley Jenkins. Without strong leadership, a Union is destined to fail, especially in today’s anti-union environment. Teamsters Local 767 is thriving at more than 5,000 members strong.

I want to congratulate Teamsters Local 767 Members working for Associated Wholesale Grocers on their new eight (8) year agreement.Along with Central States, Teamster insurance, which now includes Retiree coverage, the agreement includes reopeners for wages, pension and health and welfare in 2015 and 2018.This agreement also includes common language and expiration date with Local 245 in Springfield, MO, Local 886 in Oklahoma City, OK, and Local 955 in Kansas City, MO.
Key improvements on the newly ratified contract include, a forty (40) hour guarantee, time and a half pay for all hours worked on holidays, sick leave in as little as two (2) hour increments, an increase in pension and of course, as mentioned above, retiree insurance coverage.
