Pharmacy employees at more than 500 Walgreens locations across the country are participating in the walkout this week.
Walgreens pharmacy employees are walking off the job at locations across the country as they protest pharmacy conditions, sources say.
An organizer, who asked to remain anonymous, told CNN that prescription and vaccination expectations were set based on the number of team members each pharmacy should have, but in reality, staffing is much lower. Employees are falling behind and left to deal with angry customers. Additionally, training hours for new technicians have been cut.
Unlike union strikes, Walgreens workers did not have a central body to organize the protest, and relied on social media, emails and fliers to plan the walkouts.The move by Walgreens employees follows similar trends in health care.
