Pharmacies strike: a widely announced movement
(France 2)
This Thursday, May 30, pharmacies are called to strike. Among other things, they fear the opening of the sale of medicines outside their businesses. According to the unions, a large majority of pharmacies will be closed.
A national strike movement will affect pharmacies, and perhaps yours, on May 30, for several reasons. Pharmacies fear, among other things, losing their monopoly on the sale of medicines. Which would lead to the possibility of buying them, other than from your pharmacist. Another problem that professionals fear is the shortage of medicines. In recent years, it has been difficult to obtain the necessary treatment for many prescriptions received.
Pharmacies are facing increasing costs and the upheaval of their profession. Customers rather support pharmacists, themselves first worried about the idea of loss of contact and other consequences. The strike is likely to be very popular in French pharmacies. Thursday May 30, pharmacist demonstrations are organized throughout France.
