Another success for pharmacists at Lloydspharmacy
Pharmacists at Lloyds are even closer to securing an independent voice at work through their trade union, the PDA Union. This will give them the legal right to negotiate better pay, hours and holiday as well as having a voice on other matters at work, including important Health & Safety issues. The proposal was that those included should be:All UK General Pharmaceutical Council or Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland registered pharmacists or pre-registration pharmacists employed within LloydsPharmacy Limited (excluding those with area management status and those of equivalent or more senior status)
The company attempted to reject this proposal, forcing the decision to be made by an independent CAC panel after considering legal submissions at a hearing. In another successful step for pharmacists, the CAC agreed in full, to the proposal made by PDA Union and rejected the company’s alternative. |
