Haleon workers deal: The Unite trade union, which represents around 800 workers at consumer healthcare company Haleon in Dungarvan says its members have voted overwhelmingly to accept a pay deal.
The agreement will see pay increase by 5.5% on the 1st of Jan24 and by 4% on the 1st of Jan25.
The deal will also see workers receive a €1,000 tax-free voucher before Christmas this year, followed by two €500 vouchers at Christmas 24 and 25.
Haleon was previously known as GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare.
A previous 3-year Haleon workers pay deal expired this year, and last Nov – Unite lodged a claim for a cost-of-living pay increase.
Members voted to reject a Labour Court recommendation and had been preparing to ballot for industrial action when the company negotiated an improved agreement.
