Two CVS stores near the company’s headquarters in Rhode Island have petitioned to join the Pharmacy Guild, a national pharmacy union. The stores are struggling with overworked pharmacists and high prescription volumes. The union aims to improve working conditions for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with demands for better wages, secure hours, and minimum staffing requirements. CVS Health has invested in wage increases and bonuses for employees but respects their right to unionize. The Pharmacy Guild plans to file petitions regularly to unionize more community pharmacies in the next five years. An election is scheduled for a Las Vegas location to approve unionization.
