PHARMACYDuring Wednesday’s federal mediation session, Osco management gave the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee a presentation with slides explaining that the company views its health care costs as part of a total compensation package in order to be competitive with CVS and Walgreens.
For the first time – after eight full meetings — Osco management finally gave the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee an official health care proposal as federal mediation resumed June 8.
The Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee will present to CVS management a petition from pharmacists, who are calling on the company to reach a fair agreement on a new contract.
Local 727 began informing the public of the safety risks associated with Jewel-Osco’s chronic understaffing amid ever-increasing pharmacist workloads by informational picketing outside Chicago-area stores.
Throughout a full-day of new contract negotiations on May 26, management for CVS altogether refused to budge from the radical concessions its demanding of Teamster-represented pharmacists.
