The National Pharmacists Association-LIUNA (NPhA-LIUNA), representing nearly 900 Walgreens pharmacists in Chicagoland, will begin demonstrating at 46 Walgreens stores throughout the Chicago area starting Thursday.
The aim is to advocate for improved pay and working conditions for Walgreens pharmacists.
Pharmacists have been working for nine months without a contract, and despite inflation increasing costs by 25 percent over the past seven years, the NPhA-LIUNA says Walgreens pharmacists have only received a two percent wage increment during that period.
