Tesco looks to axe 1,000-plus roles in shift to cheaper daytime work
Tesco will axe more than 1,000 roles as it looks to redeploy staff and reduce expensive night work, the latest large retailer to seek to contain rapidly rising labour costs. The UK's largest supermarket chain said it would move stock replenishment activity from night-time to daytime at about 36 of its larger stores and 49 convenience stores. Tesco will agree a new hourly rate for store staff in the spring, following talks with shop workers' union Usdaw. Tesco last year agreed wage increases of more than 5 per cent for workers in its distribution centres to head off the prospect of strike action in the run-up to Christmas. Tesco scrapped Metro stores, a "Mini supermarket" format, in 2019.
