As we work hard to bargain better wages and working conditions for union members, we received reports from the membership that LabCorp has extended COVID related bonuses and incentives for extra shifts ONLY to Non-Union staff. UFCW 21 has not only asked for these monetary bonuses for Union members but have made several other proposals during Negotiations that LabCorp continues to refuse.  

We have proposed: 

• Significant market adjustments to several job classes currently below market—LabCorp said NO 

• Incentive pay for OT shifts—LabCorp said NO

• Incentive pay for last minute schedule changes—LabCorp said NO

• Hazard pay for Union Staff—LabCorp said NO

• Across the Board increases of 11.5% over the life of the contract—LabCorp offered 4.5% 

“These are classic techniques used by companies to bust up the union and it’s going to fail! We demand to be treated fairly, just like  other employees at LabCorp. These sneaky moves by LabCorp are  deceptions designed to divide us. We will bring this up next week in negotiations. We Will NOT stand for this! Let’s get fired up and ready to fight for what we deserve!”

Let’s show Management their tactics will not work and that we are 100% united for fair Wages!
