Pharmacy staff from Walgreens are laying the groundwork for a nationwide walkout and multiple rallies at the end of October to protest unsatisfactory working conditions, and are in talks with employees from other retail pharmacies about joining them, CNBC has learned.

Winn-Dixie has been bought by Aldi and as a result all of their pharmacies are closing. These pharmacists would jump at the chance to work at Walgreens instead of spending maybe months job hunting.

I live in a very rural area. my pharmacy WAS 7 miles away. it closed. Next closest 22 miles away. after that 100 miles away. I guess I’m going to be forced to go to Amazon for the few meds I take.
the mileage I gave is one way milage.
