Walgreens Pharmacists Plan Large-Scale Walkout Over Work Conditions, Impacting Customer Access

Walgreens pharmacists are planning a large-scale walkout from Oct 30 - Nov 1 to protest worsening work conditions like understaffing and overwhelming workload.

Previous smaller walkouts have already impacted customer access to medications, so customers are being warned to plan ahead.

Pharmacists cite safety concerns as well, with some patients becoming violent amid long waits and staff shortages.

Walgreens says previous walkouts only minimally disrupted operations but the upcoming ones could have a much bigger impact.

Customers dependent on medications from Walgreens are advised to plan alternate options in case of significant service disruptions.
