The CVS Omnicare pharmacy in Las Vegas has made history by becoming the first location to join a new national pharmacy union. This significant milestone aims to address the concerns of thousands of pharmacy workers across the U.S. regarding their working conditions.
With an overwhelming victory of 87% to 13% in their union election, nearly 30 pharmacy staff members at the Las Vegas branch of CVS’s Omnicare will now be represented by the Pharmacy Guild. These dedicated pharmacists and pharmacy technicians play a crucial role in providing medications to elderly and vulnerable patients in long-term care facilities throughout Nevada.
By joining the Pharmacy Guild, these workers will have the support they need for future labor negotiations with CVS. Shane Jerominski, a community pharmacist and co-founder of the Pharmacy Guild, expressed his commitment to securing the best possible contract for these employees.
This achievement marks a historic and decisive moment for the pharmacy industry, demonstrating the power of unity and collective action among healthcare professionals. The future looks promising for the pharmacy workers who have placed their trust in the Pharmacy Guild.
