HUNDREDS of workers at Bradford-headquartered supermarket giant Morrisons are being balloted for industrial action in a dispute over pensions.
Unite said the company had made changes to pensions that would leave workers worse off by around £500 a year.
Around 1,000 Unite members working as warehouse stock controllers, cooks, canteen staff and administrators are being balloted for strike action.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite is focused on our members’ jobs, pay and conditions and these unmerited changes to workers’ pensions will leave our members worse off every month.
“Unite will not stand for such behaviour from any employer, let alone one like Morrisons who is raking in massive profits in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis. Its flagrant profiteering and then cutting our members’ take-home pay is a disgrace.”
Morrisons declined to comment.
