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. "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. There will be a further a 48-hour stoppage beginning on 30 December and a three-day stoppage beginning on 5 January 2022 at Doncaster and Didcot. Unite members at the Antrim and Belfast Tesco distribution centres will begin an all-out continuous strike from 07:00 on 16 December. Unite said the pay rise offered by the firm was "Well below" the current retail price index rate of inflation which is 6%.It is also balloting its members for pre-Christmas strike action at Tesco's distribution centre in Livingston.
