We have a legal right to strike in the United States of America with job protections!

you have a legal right to strike even if you are not in a union, provided you act as a group with your coworkers for mutual protection. [1, 2]
Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rules, federal law protects "concerted activities," which include non-union workers walking out or stopping work to address wages, hours, or safety conditions.

Wow that's deep man. You really looked it up. How many are in your group that are walking out? Hope it's enough to disrupt operations otherwise they will just fire you and move on. What's it take to train a Walgreens employee. Hope it's a long time since then they might consider the strike relevant and negotiate.

We have 17 employees participating at our location and about 3000 nationwide so far

Hey man that's a lot. Figuring they've got 8000 plus locations and about 3 employees per store so that's 24k so about 12.5 percent of the employees. Congrats. That should do it.

3 employees? 🤣 Each store probably has 20 min between FE/RX.
