The giant pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) Express Scripts, Inc. is threatening to close its fulfillment center in Bensalem, PA, and put another 950 people on the unemployment line.

Workers are demanding that ESI President and CEO George Paz back off his outrageous demands and the KEEP the good jobs and benefits they've earned at their Bensalem facility.
