Unionized CVS Pharmacists Vote Strike Sanction Over Staffing Concerns
Unionized CVS pharmacists in three states overwhelmingly voted to approve a strike sanction, citing unsafe staffing levels and heavy workloads. The Pharmacy Guild says it has pushed for a contract with staffing protections and more support for pharmacists, while CVS says it has invested in staffing and resources. CVS notes the unionized bargaining group represents under 1% of its roughly 90,000 pharmacy employees.
