Teamsters Local 727 representatives and stewards have been talking to Osco pharmacists to continue gathering input as the Local 727 Bargaining Committee prepares to return to the bargaining table on July 28.
Teamsters Local 727 continued its efforts to inform the public of the safety risks associated with CVS management’s mistreatment of overworked and understaffed pharmacists as union representatives participated in an informational picket outside Chicago-area pharmacies on July 15.
As the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee prepares to resume contract negotiations with Osco management, union representatives and stewards are reaching out to pharmacists for their input.
Osco pharmacists overwhelmingly rejected the company’s contract offer by a more than 3-to-1 margin. The Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee and Osco management are scheduled to resume negotiations July 28.
Osco management has been distributing a summary of its contract offer to pharmacists. But the company’s handout does not tell the whole story. “No matter how the company tries to dress up its proposal, the truth is that they haven’t listened to pharmacists and they don’t care about what matters most to you,” said John T. Coli, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 727.
