Nicole Goodkind at CNN Business reports a formal Unionization effort, backed by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and Pharmacy Labor Activists, is underway.  The Worker Empowerment Project has been named the Pharmacy Guild.  The announcement comes after Pharmacy Labor Advocates launched a series of walkouts at Walgreens and CVS stores in protest of what they called unjust labor conditions.  “This is more than a Union Organizing effort,” reads the Pharmacy Guild’s founding statement. “It is a call to take this powerful social movement of Pharmacy Professionals to the next level by developing the organizational infrastructure and institutional influence necessary to make real change.”
