Walgreens Pharmacy Staff Across 3 States Plan Walkout Over Workload Concerns

Pharmacy employees at some U.S. Walgreens stores plan to walk out between Monday and Wednesday in response to prescription and vaccination expectations.

The walkout involves pharmacists, technicians and support staff in at least three states.

Some employees will walk out for one day, while others plan to close pharmacies for all three days.

Employees say the walkout is in response to burdensome workload expectations placed on pharmacists.

Walgreens says it is listening to concerns and investing in wages and hiring bonuses to attract and retain talent.
