CVS Workers in California Continue to Join Local 324

On June 2, CVS pharmacists at two stores in Orange and Anaheim, Calif., joined UFCW Local 324. The CVS pharmacists voted to join UFCW Local 324 because they recognized that better staffing, wages, and health care benefits come with a union contract. This is the fifth CVS organizing win for UFCW Local 324, which also represents CVS workers in Long Beach, Tustin and Rancho Santa Margarita.

In addition to UFCW Local 324, the UFCW has organized several other units of CVS workers in California, including CVS workers in San Francisco, who are members of UFCW Local 648; CVS workers in Murrieta and Fontana, who are members of UFCW Local 1167; and CVS workers in San Mateo, who are members of UFCW Local 5. CVS workers in Ontario are members of UFCW Local 1428; CVS workers in Spring Valley are members of UFCW Local 135; and CVS workers in Reseda are members of UFCW Local 770. The UFCW represents over 12,000 CVS workers nationwide.

Macy’s Workers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island Ratify a New Contract

About 600 members of UFCW Local 1445 who work at Macy’s stores in Massachusetts and Rhode Island recently ratified a new contract. These members are employed as clerks, cashiers, cosmetic and jewelry consultants, receivers, stockers, and merchandisers and work at Macy’s stores in Boston, Braintree, Natick and Peabody, Mass., and Warwick R.I.

Members of UFCW Local 1445 who work at Macy’s decided to authorize a strike during the ratification process due to concerns about insufficient wages, time and one half being eliminated, and compression.

These members decided to authorize a strike during the ratification process because they were concerned about insufficient wages, time and one half being eliminated, and compression. The new three-year contract addresses those concerns and increases wages to $15.00 per hour for all members who were below that wage level, which is six months before the minimum wage increases to that level in the state of Massachusetts and three years before the state of Rhode Island increases its minimum wage to $15.00. The contract also includes grandfathered time and one half for Macy’s workers in Massachusetts.

“Our members at Macy’s have worked hard throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and now they are faced with the rising cost of rent, food and gasoline, while Macy’s has seen high profits,” said UFCW Local 1445 President Fernando Lemus. “Our members deserve better, and I’m very proud of our members at Macy’s who stood up to keep time and one half for all hours worked on Sundays and decent general wage increases. When workers stand together, we win together.”
