Argos Distribution pay negotiations settled

14 August 2008

Unite union members working for Argos Distribution have voted by a majority of over two-thirds in favour of an amended pay deal agreed last week and recommended by the Union to its members.

Both Unite and Argos worked very hard to achieve this offer and we are very pleased that colleagues in the five distribution centres affected have voted in favour of implementing this pay offer.

Although no more money was made available as part of the deal, Argos was able to make adjustments to earlier offers in order to present a deal that was more attractive to the union.

The settlement reached is in line with our long-term strategy of negotiating reasonable and realistic pay deals at the same time as maintaining good relations with our union partner.
