Why pharmacy workers are going on strike amid store closures

Season 2023 Episode 313 | 5m 04s

Finding a neighborhood pharmacist is becoming more challenging. Over the past two years, CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid have either closed or announced plans to close hundreds of stores. At many of the remaining locations, worsening working conditions have led to unannounced walkouts by pharmacy workers. Tom Murphy, national health writer for the Associated Press, joins John Yang to discuss.
