CVS Faces More Walkouts as Pharmacists Demand Change

CVS pharmacy services in Kansas City's Northland were disrupted as pharmacists staged another round of walkouts, citing being stretched too thin in their positions and potentially putting patients at risk. Customers were directed to use the drive-thru with skeleton crews of fill-in workers. The conflict stems from hours and staffing cuts, increased responsibilities, and high demand for vaccinations. CVS president apologized in an internal memo and promised extra support, but the walkouts continued as pharmacists seek resolution.
