Dublin July 26th

Dear member,



You will be aware that members of Mandate trade union are currently engaged in a dispute with Lloyds Pharmacy. The company has refused to engage collectively with the workers through their union on a number of core issues, including: A fair pay increase

The introduction of incremental pay scales across grades

Improvements in annual leave entitlements and public holiday premiums

Greater security of working hours (eliminating zero-hour contracts)

The introduction of a sick pay scheme Tomorrow (Friday July 27th), Mandate members working for Lloyds Pharmacy will be engaging in a seventh day of industrial action.



There will be a protest and solidarity event at 1 pm tomorrow outside the Head Office of Lloyds Pharmacy in Ireland at United Drug House, Magna Drive, Magna Business Park, Citywest Road, Dublin 24.



I would encourage any Unite activists who are available to attend this; we will be meeting at 12.45 pm at the above address, and flags will be available.



For those travelling by public transport, you can take the Luas (Red Line), getting off at the Fortunestown stop, or the 77A or 65B bus.



In solidarity
