Overview
- Formal consultations are under way with union Usdaw and affected staff, with the union saying a management restructure could put about 40 managers at risk.
- The plan includes updating replenishment schedules, scrapping a centralised bakery, and installing in-store bakeries in about 100 Express stores, alongside added investment in F&F Clothing.
- Local reporting says roughly 150 night-shift roles at Tesco’s Teesport warehouse in Middlesbrough are at risk as part of the reorganisation.
- Tesco will begin consulting on closing the Hinckley Distribution Centre in Leicestershire, with colleagues to be offered roles at a new, larger nearby site.
- The company says about 1,500 vacancies are open across retail and distribution and it will seek to redeploy and support affected colleagues.
