Union and Tesco Engage in Negotiations Amidst Ongoing Industrial Action
- Tesco distribution workers strike over 2017 Pay Review dispute
- Usdaw hopes for suitable offer to avoid disruption
- Industrial action a last resort, says union
- No impact on customers due to contingency plan
Workers at Tesco’s Dagenham distribution center are striking for 24 hours due to a dispute over the 2017 Pay Review. The union, Usdaw, hopes that the company will bring forward a suitable offer so that industrial action can be averted and avoid disruption. Dave McCrossen, Usdaw divisional officer, stated that industrial action is always a last resort and the decision to call a strike has not been taken lightly. Usdaw remains open to further discussions. A Tesco spokesman said customers will not be impacted as they have a robust contingency plan in place, and they have put forward a fair and competitive pay deal for their distribution colleagues during the annual review process. All 21 distribution sites, except one, have agreed on offers.
