On 1st December 2017, PDA Union representatives for the group of pharmacists who have applied to derecognise the BPA, met with senior managers from Boots.
The purpose of this meeting was to explore the available options open to the parties during the 20 day statutory negotiating period which ends on 13th December.
The following topics were discussed
- Topics related to the Negotiation Period
- The definition of the Bargaining Unit for the purposes of any derecognition ballot
- The working relationship between the PDAU and Boots
We will continue to keep our members informed of any key developments with the derecognition process.
When we hear more about the next steps, we will publish further updates in due course.
If you have any questions about the derecognition and recognition processes please send these to enquiries@the-pda.org with “Union Recognition” in the title.
