I'm all for people organizing, but the article says the average is over $60/hr for CVS and over $50/hr for Walgreens. That's a pretty fair wage.

- jadbox 3y agoIt's a high wage, indeed. However, it's not a sustainable workload from the stories I've heard, and ultimately people are feeling the effects of the system at its over peak capacity.
- Simulacra 3y agoTo be fair, you don't really need pharmacist for most people. If you're getting a prescription for the first time, then you should see a pharmacist. But if you are picking up a prescription that you've been taking for a while, there are companies that make machines which will fill and label the bottle and dispense it to you. Or just have it mailed to you. Too much emphasis is placed on having to speak or deal directly with a pharmacist, when it might be better to just take them out of the picture.
- mainpassathome 3y agoOrganizing is not only about wages, work conditions are a valid grievance too
- tomohelix 3y agoThere is a balance somewhere though. $60/hr is at the level where some big expectations is normal. You can't demand high pay and low stress work for what is basically a rank and file job.
