Boots Pharmaceutical Company To Force Workers Into Pay Cuts!

Republican Network for Unity in Kildare has recently become aware of the introductions of pay cuts to all Boots employee’s to come into affect in mid- November. Employees of Boots Pharmaceutical are being asked to take a 15’5% wage reduction at top scale of pay from €14.20 to €12 per hour. They are also being forced to take a 25% reduction in holiday pay and a 25% reduction to Sunday premiums.

Republican Network for Unity in Kildare reject these proposals, this is again a multi national company exploiting the ordinary working class. This is a company who profited 20 million euro in 2008 and with a current cash reserve for 2009 in excess of 70 million euro. Workers of Boots will hit the ballot boxes this week and results will be introduced on November 6th 2009.

Republican Network for Unity in the 26 counties will be watching developments on this dispute and will fully back the working class once again.
