Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC

The organizers of a recent retail pharmacy staff walkout are partnering with IAM Healthcare to launch "The Pharmacy Guild," a national push to unionize pharmacists and technicians in the U.S. The initiative aims to address concerns over unsafe staffing levels and increasing workloads in the industry, particularly at major drugstore chains like Walgreens and CVS. The Pharmacy Guild also seeks legislative and regulatory changes to establish higher standards of practice in pharmacies. The organizers hope to unionize 90% of pharmacists working for Walgreens and CVS within five years and are encouraging interested pharmacy staff to fill out a form on their website.
