More than 900 Teamsters at the CVS Health Distribution Center in La Habra, Calif., have overwhelmingly ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement, following a credible strike threat that pushed management to the table. The new contract protects warehouse workers, drivers, mechanics, maintenance, and sanitation workers represented by Teamsters Local 952.



The agreement secures a $7.10 per hour wage increase over the life of the contract, with a $3 an hour raise hitting paychecks in the first year alone. It also includes $1.50 an hour increases to pension contributions, strengthening retirement security for hundreds of Teamsters families.



“This is the best contract we’ve ever negotiated at this facility,” said Gary Brocket, a 13-year CVS Teamster and Local 952 shop steward. “We won real gains that will improve our lives for years to come. I’m proud to walk into work knowing our Teamsters contract is protecting us.”
