Melissa Acosta, a pharmacy technician on the bargaining committee, highlighted the intimidation tactics used by CVS, stating they hinder workers' communication with union representatives aiming for better pay and healthcare.
Company spokesperson Amy Thibault expressed disappointment over the strike, asserting that CVS has made progress in negotiations, including tentative agreements for raising pay and enhancing health insurance contributions.
Acosta criticized CVS' health care offerings, revealing that after years of service, she has never been able to afford the company's health plan, forcing her to seek alternative insurance.
The strike, authorized by over 90% of union members, reflects rising tensions as CVS faces industry-wide challenges, including costs and competition, alongside significant corporate changes.
