Drugstore chain Walgreens Boots Alliance announced on Tuesday that it will raise its wages for hourly workers in phases, with the goal of reaching $15 per hour by November 2022.
Initial pay hikes will take place in October. The move comes as retailers compete for workers in a tight labor market.
Earlier this month, competitor CVS Health raised its minimum wage and took away its education requirements for workers.
