Just two weeks after dozens of CVS pharmacists protested unsafe working conditions by walking off the job in Kansas City, Walgreens pharmacists followed suit with their own walkout Monday that left stores shuttered or short-staffed across the nation’s second-largest retail pharmacy chain.
The organizer estimated that several hundred pharmacists and pharmacy technicians participated in the protest, which will last through Wednesday.
Walgreens spokesman Marty Maloney downplayed the impact of the walkout as “minimal” but declined to specify how many staff or stores were involved.
