Our History
Teamsters Local 760, based in Yakima, Washington, has represented workers across Central Washington for more than eight decades. The local was officially formed in 1941.
From its early years, Local 760 organized workers involved in freight transportation, warehouse operations, food processing, and public employment throughout the Yakima Valley and surrounding communities. As agriculture and distribution industries expanded across Central Washington, the local grew alongside them, negotiating contracts that improved wages, healthcare, pensions, seniority protections, and workplace safety for working families throughout the region.
Like many Teamster locals in the Pacific Northwest, Local 760 developed during a period of rapid labor growth that followed the broader rise of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in the 1930s and 1940s. During this era, Teamster organizing became especially strong throughout Washington state as truck drivers, warehouse workers, and industrial employees sought stronger representation and improved working conditions.
Over the years, Local 760 expanded beyond traditional trucking and warehouse industries into public sector and healthcare representation. Today, the local represents workers in transportation, food processing, public works, healthcare, sanitation, and logistics throughout Central Washington.
