Walgreens Pharmacy employees are reportedly planning walkouts for this week over work conditions.
reported that employees at Walgreens stores across the country will be protesting "harsh working conditions" and "unfair vaccination expectations" during one of the busiest times of the year.At this time, it's unknown which locations will participate in the walkouts expected to happenThe National Desk reached out to Walgreens asking what it was doing to continue serving its customers.
Chris Adkins said he left his job as a pharmacist with a major drugstore chain a couple years ago because of the stress. Aside from filling and checking prescriptions, Adkins routinely answered the phone, ran the register and stocked pharmacy shelves. "I just didn't have time for the patients," he said. "I am OK working hard and working long hours, but I just felt like I was not doing a good job as a pharmacist."
Former Walgreens CEO Rosalind Brewer said in late June that the company had added more than 1,000 pharmacists in the second quarter, but was running into a shortage of job candidates. Walgreens is adding processing centers around the country to ease some of the prescription workload for its stores. A CVS spokeswoman said the company is focused on addressing concerns raised by its pharmacists and has taken several actions, including "providing additional pharmacy resources" in markets that need support. She declined to say how many pharmacists or technicians the company has hired.
