Teamsters Local 727 is awaiting the updated contract draft document from Pepsi management that includes the company’s last, best and final economic offer. While the Union awaits the document that with the last, best and final offer included, union attorneys have begun reviewing the merged contract draft sent by the company on May 3.
The Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee on May 4 offered to extend the contract covering about 500 Chicago-area Osco pharmacists until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 20. The contract extension offer, which also includes full retroactivity, is contingent on the company agreeing to meet with the Local 727 Bargaining Committee and a federal mediator on Wednesday, May 18, and Friday, May 20.
After seven negotiation meetings with the Teamsters Local 727 Bargaining Committee, CVS management is still refusing to listen to pharmacists’ concerns about their diminishing working conditions.
Pepsi management sent Teamsters Local 727 a draft contract document incorporating tentative agreements and the already agreed-upon merged language that combines all four previous contracts. The company said it will send the union an updated draft that also includes Pepsi’s complete last, best and final economic offer on Wednesday.
CVS management continues to demand that pharmacists work longer days while cutting their weekly hours. “Like we have been saying all along, this contract is about quality of life issues,” said John Coli Jr., President of Teamsters Local 727.
