South Bend Pharmacy - Bargaining Update

On May 26th, the South Bend Pharmacy bargaining committee presented a counter-proposal confronting a serious underpayment in wages. Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, and Pharmacy Assistants/Sales are highly skilled workers who deserve compensation that reflects their experience and knowledge.

The bargaining committee's tenure-based wage scale proposal was rejected outright and the employer's representative proposed 50-cent annual raises, an unserious offer that does not keep pace with cost-of-living increases and leaves some members barely above minimum wage.
