Walgreens Pharmacy Workers Strike for Better Conditions

Pharmacy staff at Walgreens locations across the country walked off the job to protest harsh working conditions, including being overworked and underpaid. The walkouts come after similar actions by CVS pharmacy employees. Workers cited increased demand for prescriptions and vaccinations without sufficient staff as reasons for their frustration. They expressed concerns about patient safety and the inability to provide proper care. The shortage of pharmacy technicians and low pay were also highlighted as issues. Pharmacists and technicians called for more staff and better pay, as well as improved communication with management.
