Union wins Tesco ‘fire and rehire’ battle

A shop workers’ union has won a Supreme Court battle against Tesco over so-called “fire and rehire” plans put forward by the supermarket giant.

The row erupted in 2021 after Tesco proposed firing staff at some distribution centres and rehiring them on lower pay.

The Usdaw union said it was “delighted to get this outcome”.

Tesco said it accepted the Supreme Court judgement which it said affected “a very small number of colleagues”.
