Pharmacy workers from CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have gone on strike.

Pharmacy workers from major chains such as CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have initiated a strike due to concerns over working conditions. The walkout, which began on October 29, 2023, is a response to what the employees describe as inadequate staffing, long hours, and a lack of breaks. The workers' union has been in negotiations with the companies, but no agreement has been reached so far. The strike has resulted in some pharmacies reducing their hours of operation or even temporarily closing. Customers have been advised to anticipate potential delays in prescription services. The companies have expressed their commitment to resolving the issues and ensuring the well-being of their employees. However, they have also stated that they are prepared to hire temporary workers if the strike continues.
