Nationwide Walkout: Walgreens Pharmacy Employees Protest Working Conditions

Employees at Walgreens pharmacies across the United States walked out to protest unsafe working conditions, including understaffed teams dealing with increased demands such as backlogged prescriptions and administering vaccines. They are demanding more staff, transparency in payroll hours, mandatory training, and advance notice of job openings or staff reductions. While Walgreens confirmed some disruptions, they stated that the majority of their locations continue to serve patients. This follows recent walkouts by CVS pharmacy employees in Kansas City, and new legislation in California requiring pharmacies to report prescription errors and allowing for increased staffing when workloads become overwhelming.

Walgreens Employees Prepare for Walkouts Over Working Conditions

Pharmacy employees at some Walgreens stores in the U.S. are planning walkouts from Monday to Wednesday to protest challenging working conditions. Employees, including pharmacists and technicians, argue that their current workload, which includes administering various vaccinations, could compromise patient safety and accuracy in filling prescriptions. Over 500 Walgreens stores are expected to be affected by the walkouts. The employees' concerns highlight the need for adequate staffing and resources to deliver quality services. Walgreens has stated that they are investing in pharmacist wages and hiring bonuses to attract and retain talent in harder-to-staff locations.

Walgreens Closures: Is Your Local Pharmacy Next?

Pharmacy employees at Walgreens are planning a walkout between October 9-11 to protest harsh working conditions that they say make it difficult to safely fill prescriptions. Employees cite burdensome prescription and vaccination expectations, chronic understaffing, low pay, high quotas, lack of breaks, abusive management, and violent customers. Similar walkouts have already occurred at CVS stores in the Kansas City area. Walgreens acknowledges the concerns raised by employees and claims to be committed to providing support and resources. The walkouts are part of a larger movement called "pharmageddon" and may continue as employees seek better working conditions.
