(CNN) — Hourly Walgreens employees will no longer receive paid time off for six major holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to reporting from CNN.
The change comes about a month after the pharmacy giant was acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners. It follows recent workforce reductions — Walgreens announced last month it was laying off about 80 corporate employees.
The company has been undergoing significant restructuring efforts. Last year, Walgreens said it planned to close approximately 1,200 underperforming stores nationwide.
Walgreens has not responded to CNN’s request for comment.
In this job, we have the opportunity to meet truly remarkable people. The Sullivan family has faced incredibly tough times, but time and time again, turn their grieving into giving. What an honor to tell their story.
