Teamsters Local 727 representatives have taken action to inform the public of CVS management’s mistreatment of its overworked and understaffed pharmacists.
CVS representatives on Tuesday sat on their hands for more than eight hours — failing to respond to contract proposals or even meet with Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee members — then followed that up with another drawn-out session on Wednesday.
After three full days of contract negotiations between the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee and CVS management, very little progress has been made toward reaching a new agreement for about 150 Chicago-area pharmacists.
CVS management made no movement from its unreasonable proposals during the second negotiation meeting with the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee on April 7.
While the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee presented proposals to address safety concerns through improved working conditions, more technician hours and increased overlap, CVS management demanded across-the-board cuts to pharmacists’ benefits with diminished protections as contract negotiations opened on March 24.
