Tesco distribution centre workers plan pre-Christmas strikes
Up to 1,200 workers at Tesco distribution centres across the UK are set to strike in the run-up to Christmas, the Unite union says.
It comes after the supermarket offered a 4% pay rise which Unite said amounted to a "real terms pay cut" due to current high rates of inflation."Our members have gone above and beyond the call of duty to keep Tesco's shelves filled throughout the pandemic. At the very least the UK's largest and wealthiest retailer should be making our members a decent pay offer," said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham.
Unite members at the Antrim and Belfast Tesco distribution centres will begin an all-out continuous strike from 07:00 on 16 December. It is also balloting its members for pre-Christmas strike action at Tesco's distribution centre in Livingston. The ballot closes on Monday.
