Workers at seven CVS Health stores across Southern California have gone on strike. The employees, who are part of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, include staff from four stores in Los Angeles and three in Orange County.
“They’re not allowing us to talk to our union reps when they come in. They’re not allowing us to wear our buttons to support our unlawful contract we are trying to fight for,” said Ashley Cantu, a pharmacy lead tech at CVS Health in Buena Park.
Although all CVS stores remain open during the strike, employees are pushing for a new contract that addresses their concerns about fair pay and improved working conditions.
“We’re trying to get better pay for the front store, more or less about a $3 or $4 raise and for the pharmacy we’re trying to ask for a $6 raise,” Cantu said.
