Boots pay discussions begin

This year’s pay talks on behalf of PDA members in Boots have started. The first meeting took place on 17 August, with a series of meetings due to take place during August and September.

At this early stage of the discussions, no offer has been made by the company, but the meeting was constructive and positive. It is hoped that the company will be in a position to make an offer at the next meeting, which is due to take place towards the end of August.

Paul Moloney, PDA Union National Officer and lead negotiator said, “Our aim this year is to ensure our members’ earnings grow in line with other increases throughout the UK economy, in what everyone recognises are difficult times as inflation continues to grow. On this occasion, we therefore did not go to the company with a set figure in our pay claim, but have set out the economy wide data on earnings growth, and that specific to the sector, we will use to measure any offer the company makes. We are optimistic that this approach will lead to an early agreement that will deliver a significant increase for members and one that is higher than for many years.”
