While it’s highly uncommon, pharmacists could in theory go on strike in protest. Since pharmacists remain essential workers in most jurisdictions, any organizing efforts would likely have to be particularly well-organized and well-articulated in order to be effective.
Pharmacists who go on strike might lead a number of protests, including public rallies, petition drives, and letters to elected officials. Pharmacists might also be encouraged to use their professional power by boycotting certain medications and refusing to provide services to certain corporations and organizations. In some cases, pharmacists might even be encouraged to perform lengthy and non-negotiable job actions, such as changing prescription labels, stocking shelves more slowly, or refusing to fill certain prescriptions.
