Yesterday, more than 50 Southern California pharmacists from Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions joined patients and community supporters for a powerful Safe Staffing Candlelight Vigil.
With candles held high and voices united, we delivered a clear message: understaffing puts patient safety at risk, and our pharmacy teams will not back down from protecting the communities they serve.
As our pharmacists return to the bargaining table today and tomorrow, they carry this incredible solidarity and ULP Strike Ready momentum with them. We are united, stronger than ever, and determined to secure the fair contract and safe staffing levels our pharmacists and patients deserve.
Thank you to everyone who stood with us in Whittier!
