CVS Pharmacists’ Petition for Fair Wages

    We, the undersigned CVS pharmacists, have dedicated our lives and careers to serving our communities and the patients of CVS.  We are appalled that CVS management has dismissed our years, our decades, of hard work and refuses to provide the Teamsters Local 727 bargaining committee with a fair wage proposal.  CVS's wage proposal is entirely unacceptable and unfair.
     
    We have been forced to work exhausting 12-14 hour shifts without breaks because CVS has tried to cut costs.  Our pharmacies are severely understaffed because CVS has chosen to drastically reduce technician hours.  We have been forced to spread ourselves even thinner because CVS continues to expand our non-pharmaceutical duties.  But still, we press on, providing our patients with the best care possible.  Our hard work deserves to be fairly compensated.
     
    The Local 727 bargaining committee has put forward a fair and reasonable wage proposal. Anything less than the Union’s current proposal would be an undervaluing of our contributions and completely unacceptable.
