CVS Pharmacists Ratify New Agreement

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Over 500 pharmacists at CVS in DC and Maryland, represented by UFCW Local 400, voted in favor of a new two-and-a-half year contract earlier this month. The new contract has a range of victories, including across-the-board pay increases, no transfers of workers to new work sites without consulting the union, and the formation of a joint committee between pharmacists and supervisors to ensure quality support staff. - photo: CVS advisory committee members (left to right) Emmanuel Njoku, Manny Ayotebi, Floyd Morrison, and Yewell Adams; not pictured: Meseret Agonafer; photo by Karlyn Williams (UFCW 400)
