UFCW Local 135

CVS Strike Authorization Vote
2024-09-23 08:00 - 2024-09-25 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The contract at CVS has been expired for over two months, and negotiations are dragging on with weak wage proposals by the company. To push for the fair contract we deserve, our members will be taking an electronic strike vote starting September 23 at 8:00 AM through September 25 at 5:00 PM.
Voting will be conducted via text message or email only. Please ensure we have your current and valid email address and/or cell phone number on file for you to receive the necessary information to participate.
Voting is one of the most vital actions a union member can take.
It’s time to make your voice heard—vote to strike!
Voting results will be determined by the aggregate vote totals of California CVS Pharmacy members at UFCW Local 5, 135, 324, 648, 770, 1167, 1428, and 1442.
Please contact your Union Rep if you need to update your contact information or if you do not receive your electronic ballot by September 23 at 8:00 AM.
