St. Joseph Medical Center Pharmacists - Strike Authorization Vote Scheduled

We are disappointed to announce that after a ten-hour bargaining day at our tenth bargaining session, CommonSpirit leadership still failed to present an offer we could recommend our workers ratify.

As such, the following vote has been scheduled so we can share the Employer’s proposed offer — and to be clear, we unanimously recommend voting NO on the Employer’s offer, and voting YES to authorize a strike.

As a part of our union contract, we have set a limit on healthcare cost increases year to year of 10% (5% shared by the Employer, 5% shared by union members).

Vestis Contract & Strike Authorization Vote.

After months of negotiations with Vestis, our Union Bargaining team is calling for a contract vote on the company’s latest proposal from March 23, along with a strike authorization vote.
