Tesco: Thousands of employees to lose hundreds of pounds in weekend and evening pay cuts

‘Supermarket giant Tesco has cut wages for thousands of staff after deciding to make changes to weekend, overtime and night shift rates. The new pay deal is set to affect a large proportion of their 310,000-strong workforce.

Store managers were briefed on the changes last week and an official announcement is set to take place on Tuesday 2 February. The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW), one of Britain’s largest trade unions with over 441,000 members, has been locked in discussions over the new contract.

It has been a testing few weeks for Tesco staff after the store announced that 76 of its current 400, 24-hour stores will now close at midnight and reopen at 6am because of a lack of shoppers in the early hours. The move affect around 400 workers.’
