Walgreen Pharmacists Planning to Stage Nationwide Walkout
Pharmacists from Walgreens are planning a potential nationwide walkout at the end of October over working conditions. They are also in discussion with other pharmacies to join them in the walkout.
This has been an issue for a number of years for employees who are frustrated with being understaffed and overworked. Since the pandemic, staff has also taken on the responsibility of covid vaccines and testing which have contributed to worker burnout.
Pharmacy staff from Walgreens are laying the groundwork for a nationwide walkout and multiple rallies at the end of October to protest unsatisfactory working conditions, and are in talks with employees from other retail pharmacies about joining them, CNBC has learned.
