Some workers at CVS Health (CVS) and Walgreens Boots Alliance’s (WBA) U.S. pharmacies initiated a three-day walkout beginning Monday demanding the companies improve working conditions and recruit more staff, Reuters’ Leroy Leo reports. The walkout marks the third strike by pharmacy workers in just over a month, the author notes. “Some of these stores are so grossly understaffed at the moment and just bogged down with not only prescriptions but the amount of immunization appointments and walk-ins that they’re expected to do,” Shane Jerominski, a former Walgreens pharmacist and one of the organizers of the walkout, told Reuters.
