Employees at Walgreens pharmacies across the U.S. walked out Monday, protesting unsafe working conditions. Management says it has been 'a very challenging time.'
Employees at Walgreens pharmacies across the U.S. walked out Monday, protesting what they call unsafe working conditions at the stores. Closures were confirmed by CNN at Walgreens stores in Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts and Arizona. Walgreens staff and pharmacists have reported understaffed teams having to meet increased demands, such as dealing with backlogged prescriptions and administering vaccines.
“We are engaged and listening to the concerns raised by some of our team members. We are committed to ensuring that our entire pharmacy team has the support and resources necessary to continue to provide the best care to our patients while taking care of their own well-being.” The walkout follows walkouts a few weeks ago by CVS pharmacy employees at locations in Kansas City.
