LabCorp Bargaining Begins!

/

Today we had our first bargaining session with the Employer. Our Union Bargaining Team worked hard in the weeks leading up to the negotiation and delivered a comprehensive set of proposals. Our team is strong and determined to make real changes for all LabCorp employees. 

LabCorp returned to the table, and we have some tentative agreements on the following topics:

  • Updated Political Contribution Language

  • Protection for Union activism

  • The unborn child lost has been added to the Bereavement Leave

  • Leave for victims of a crime

  • Leave for victims of domestic violence

  • Collaboration on employer assistance to employees

  • Enhance health and safety protection and accountability

  • New Succession language

  • Good faith effort commitment to staffing levels

We will continue working through the next bargaining sessions to address all open items and more.
