>pharmacy techs to work as normal but don't charge for medication So theft is your answer?

It might be theft but it would be a far more effective strike than simply not working. Far more likely to get their employers and such to cave quickly because it's costing them money (a lot) if they don't. I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember reading about a hospital that basically did the same. The did their usual work but left out some sort of paperwork and cost the hospital a lot of money without endangering patients or delaying treatments. IIRC it was pretty effective. Of course, I don't remember the name of hospital or even the country, so I can't google it, but if anyone manages to find it let me know- and if I got any of that wrong!

Those are not the only two pharmacies available. Doctors will know to call scripts in elsewhere.

A strike that bankrupts their parent corporation is not very successful.

A slow down would be better. Each work task not directly improving patients' care takes the whole shift to complete. This file is just sooooo heavy, you know? Gotta get the whole team to lift it onto the shelf.

Malicious compliance and national incompetence in a way that doesn't hurt patients is my favourite form of strike.

this is a really complicated one because i am all for pharmacists and other workers striking for fair treatment, but i am not all for innocent people being deprived of necessary medications. i have loved ones who are diabetic, who have chronic illnesses and if the strike happens i'm very worried for their health. i feel that if this strike happens and people's lives are put at risk, it's just going to set the pharmacists back due to all the bad press of leaving people S.O.L with their medicine.
