In the last three years, the cost of living in Seattle has increased by 21%. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, it took nine years for costs to grow that much. While LabCorp insists that it’s not the employer’s responsibility to offset unprecedented inflation and cost of living increases, our members and our patients shoulder the consequences of crucial lab positions remaining unfilled and draw sites being closed daily.
To remain competitive, LabCorp must raise wages. This isn't just about fair pay—it's about solving our staffing shortages and ensuring we can deliver the service our community deserves.
