Walgreens Walkout: Impending Closure of CVS and Walgreens Pharmacies

Pharmacy staff at some Walgreens stores across the country are planning to walk out from Monday through Wednesday, citing harsh working conditions that make it difficult to safely fill prescriptions. The number of staff participating and the exact number of closed pharmacies is unclear, as there is no central organizing body. Pharmacy employees are burned out due to overwhelming demands, insufficient staffing, and management's focus on profit. CVS recently had a walkout, and talks are ongoing. Both Walgreens and CVS claim to be working with pharmacy staff to address their concerns and improve the situation.
