Pharmacy Workers from CVS and Walgreens Prepare for Walkout Over Working Conditions

Employees from major pharmacy chains, including CVS and Walgreens, are planning a walkout called "pharmageddon" to protest poor working conditions. The workers are demanding guaranteed hours, better pay for technicians, and a say in scheduling to improve staffing levels and reduce errors that could impact patient safety. The walkout follows previous protests at Walgreens and CVS locations, with thousands of workers expressing support. The pharmacies have struggled to effectively staff their stores and pharmacies, leading to prescription backlogs and potential risks to patient health. The companies claim to be addressing concerns and improving work-life balance, but workers remain unsatisfied.
