Latest Updates (3)
Following a ballot on the new offer from Morrisons workers will contribute the same amount as presently towards their pension, ensuring their financial stability. Further improved benefits include a new Service Award scheme which will pay up to £350 for long-service milestones. From 1st July 2024 a nine per cent increase will be applied on all rates of pay including weekend incentive premiums and freezer allowance with the existing additional anti-social hours shift pay maintained. Unite has also forced Morrisons to conduct reviews of "pick rates" and job roles in a transparent manner and with full union involvement.
Planned industrial action that was due to take place at Morrisons warehouses in Northwich and Wakefield from 13 June to 16 June has been called off after the supermarket chain made an improved offer. Hundreds of workers had been taking part in strike action over proposed changes to their pension contributions that would have left them hundreds of pounds a year worse off. Additional issues surrounding pay and conditions have also been the subject of the dispute.
Unite said that workers were being forced to increase their own pension contributions while Morrisons reduces theirs by the same amount. The union said this left workers £500 a year worse off.
