This boycott needs to be taken nationwide.

[evad]

..four pharmacists, on unpaid leave for refusing to agree to fill orders for the morning-after contraceptive pill, are reinstated.

Why would any employer agree to reinstate any employee who fails to do their job?

This boycott, like most boycotts, is misguided.

Ping.

The Catholic Diocese of Belleville in Illinois is organizing a boycott of Walgreens for firing pharmacists for refusing to dispense "morning after" pills.

The boycott is against the wrong entity. They were jsut following state law, as I understand things.

The State of IL should be the target.

[flashbunny]

The boycott is idiotic.

As previous articles have stated, Walgreen's has offered the pharmacists employment in Missouri, where they don't have such a law.

Walgreen's has to follow the state law. If they don't, they could be fined. They could also lose their pharmacy license. And not to mention the countless lawsuits that could be brought against them.

Calling for a boycott of Walgreen's when they are following the law AND offered the pharmacists employment where they wouldn't have to dispense these pills is pathetic.

People should be working on getting the law overturned...but in Illinois, that would be hard work. So they do the easy thing and call for a boycott of a company that is doing its best in a bad situation.

Either the people calling for a boycott are too dense to realize what's really going on, or they're so starved for attention they'll organize a boycott against a company that could really do no better than what it's already doing.

Why? It is against the law in that state for the pharmacists to refuse. They can either (1) get the law changed, (2) move to another state that does not have that law, or, (3) go into another business. You are asking Walgreens to break the law in order to get your business. I don't believe that is EVER going to happen.

Great motive, wrong target.



The Illinois law is the proper target, along with any politician who voted for it.

this is what happens when liberals are elected.

No way, Walgreens hires their employees at will, they can fire anyone they want.

The pharmasists can go somewhere else, or get a new career.
