Strike Authorization Votes coming soon!
CVS offers a dime more while we struggle to afford basic necessities and healthcare!
This week, CVS presented us with another insulting wage offer of only ten cents more than their last horrible offer. On day one, fast food workers make $20 an hour. On day 1825, (5 years!), CVS is proposing a store associate still make less than $20 an hour.
CVS made $11 billion in profit last year and paid their shareholders $3.1 BILLION in dividends. If CVS paid their shareholders $3 billion instead of $3.1 billion, they’d have enough left over to pay all their workers a living wage.
They can afford to pay their workers more!
We’ve been working for two months with an expired contract and CVS has refused to make us a fair offer. And while we’ve been at the table trying to reach a deal, they’ve been breaking the law by committing numerous unfair labor practices, like unlawful surveillance of workers, retaliation for union activity, and blocking us from talking to our Union Representatives.
That’s why we’re scheduling strike authorization votes in the coming weeks.
It’s time to stand up and make our voices heard by casting our votes and telling the company to stop breaking the law. We are holding a member webinar on September 9 at 7PM to answer any questions and discuss next steps.

In the meantime, please continue to report to work as usual. Remember, your wages, benefits and contract protections remain intact even though our contract is expired.
As always, if there is anything we can help you with, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Union Rep.
In Solidarity,
Your UFCW CVS Bargaining Committee
