Walgreens walkout: Your pharmacy might be closed next week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Employees at two of the largest drugstore chains in the United States say harsh working conditions make it difficult to safely fill prescriptions, which could put the health of their customers at risk. Now, they’re demanding change by staging a series of walkouts across the country.

Pharmacy employees at some Walgreens stores, including pharmacists, technicians and support staff, are planning a walkout between October 9-11, an organizer, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the chain, confirmed to CNN. Some employees plan to walk out for just one day, while others expect to shutter their pharmacies for all three days.

Employees at more than 500 of America’s approximately 9,000 Walgreens stores across the United States have expressed interest and solidarity, a Walgreens pharmacy employee and walkout organizer said, though fewer will likely end up participating.

CNN spoke to employees at three Walgreens stores in three states who said they plan on walking out.

1. I have no idea what they are paid or

what benefits are but I don't blame them. The times I've been there they all are working non stop and can only imagine the constant nonsense they have to endure regarding insurance coverage and outrageous prices for prescription drugs. They never seem to be able to catch their breath.

2. The people at my Walgreens Pharmacy have never failed to

do whatever it took to get my prescriptions filled, INCLUDING dealing with the insurance companies FOR me. I don’t know if that service is in their job description, but it is greatly appreciated.
