Unite said that because this offer was being made the two days of strike action by the 180 drivers planned for tomorrow today and on Friday have been suspended.
Doncaster Tesco drivers could strike, says union
Unite regional officer, Harriet Eisner said: “Stobart’s has confirmed it intends to put an offer on the table, so we are suspending Thursday and Friday’s action pending the talks on Friday.
“We are not ruling out further action, but Unite is keen to explore what ESL is offering, and that talks are conducted in a constructive and positive manner.”
The 180 Tesco drivers took two days of strike action last week – with great support from the Doncaster public – after ESL, their new employers, had issued 90-days’ notice of termination of employment.
In August, the transport workforce was transferred from Tesco to ESL and then on 5 September, ESL issued notice of termination of employment, with no promise that the drivers will be re-employed once the 90-days are up.
