Pharmacy Workers from Walgreens and CVS Prepare for Strikes

Pharmacy staff from Walgreens and other drugstore chains are planning a walkout next week to protest unsafe working conditions, including understaffing, insufficient pay, and increasing work expectations. The walkout, dubbed "Pharmageddon," is expected to affect hundreds of stores across different chains. Organizers are also considering a push for unionization of pharmacy staff. The demonstrations come after previous walkouts in Walgreens and CVS stores. Pharmacy employees have complained about unreasonable performance demands, which can lead to errors and put patients at risk. They hope the walkout will raise awareness about their working conditions and lead to improvements.
