[Alderman Matt Martin @AldMattMartin]

Throughout the pandemic, @LiUNAchicago pharmacists put their lives on the line for us.

Despite their vital work, pharmacists have only gotten a 2% raise for the past 7 years.

Walgreens' CEO makes 470x of what pharmacists are making

That's not right.

Fair contract now.✊🏽

@PhedUpPharms @LIUNALocal1092 The company also wants to take pharmacists out of the store and replace them with remote pharmacists who are not required to be located or licensed in Illinois. Telepharmacists cannot provide in-person individualized patient care and only have patient contact via video link.

@PhedUpPharms In 7 yrs, Walgreens pharmacists have only received a 2% wage increase – despite inflation driving up costs 25%. While pharmacists have seen their actual wages erode, Walgreens’ CEO to worker pay ratio is 407 to 1.

Since the onset of the COVID pandemic pharmacists have been subject to inconsistent scheduling, and are asked to provide more patient services, with no additional staff support.

@PhedUpPharms Walgreens Pharmacists have been working without a contract for the past 9 months.
