After much review of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and proposals exchanged between Ostrom’s Drug and our Union, a fully recommended Tentative Agreement has been reached.

Highlights of the agreement include:

• Raises for Pharmacy Clerks/Assistants and Pharmacy Technicians.

• An updated pay scale so that new hires will have contractual minimum rates of pay.

• A conversion from the Sound Retirement Trust pension plan to the new Sound Variable Annuity Pension Trust pension plan, with new money in contributions added each year of the contract.

UFCW 3000 members in good standing are encouraged to attend the meeting, ask questions, and vote on the contract on Monday, August 26 from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. The vote meeting will be held on site, in the breakroom.

We are recommending a “YES” vote!
