Magor Distribution Depot have employed so many younger people lately and are training them on other jobs, instead of first going picking for months first.. some of them, even before they receive their contract.
They would love to get rid of those on the old contracts. Does anyone think there would be voluntary redundancies at Magor again ?

Rumours have surfaced once again at Magor. This time it's not a general one to cover all, because Magor is finding it very difficult to hold on to its newly trained personnel. This rumours relates to the few people whose job is tipping and checking every single day. I think there's only about 6 or 7 of them in the whole distribution network..With reduced checks coming in on every load, their job will be redundant, so they'll have to be offered redundancy..

Just heard today all legacy warehouse, security and clerical staff have been offered redundancy in both Belfast and Antrim sites. Unfortunately drivers are excluded from this offer.

What next for stores? Opening hours have been reviewed. When there is one change it has a knock on in the food chain.

It's not redundancy is it?

Legacy drivers were offered a contract buy out during the 2022 contract discussion's and none took the offer up. So it looks like they are going to let the legacy run its course as there is plenty coming up on retirement and for the ones that are left it wont cost them that much to keep them as are.

The 2022 offer was never really aimed at the Legacy Contracts. The aim was to tidy up the multiple similar contracts in existence at some depots.

My offer was around £24k, which was one of the largest, but still way too low to even consider. A tax free £100k would have been the minimum credible offer.

There aren't enough Legacy drivers (and the actual difference is not really large enough) to make us a priority. Tesco's main motivation to get rid of the Legacy contracts is the extra administration work. There are very few managers and  wage clerks left who understand the contract, resulting in many retrospective queries and corrections
Don't take life too seriously, no one has ever gotten out alive!

Antrim/Belfast have been offered voluntary redundancy for legacy contracts.... If you don't take the offer, you stay of your present contract with no change....

hesketh

This has been rolled out to all Legacy depots now. Warehouse and clerical only, not drivers...

It's only a matter of time until the legacy drivers get an offer. They want everyone on the 2022 contract.

Livingston has been offered the deal too...

 In Hinckley warehouse old contracts received Voluntary Severance Offer. We can stay on old contracts but for how long? May Tesco forced us to change contracts without any bonus? Some people would stay, but they afraid will be forced to change their contract or reduced in some other way.

If they could change your contract that easily, why offer you a pay off?

Tesco don't want the bad publicity so easier for them to offer redundancy. Personally I think any who refuses This offer is mad as they could come back in a few months and force workers onto the new contract.

Totally agree remember when they got rid of the deputy mangers in express. The area manager told my deputy to take redundancy and in 6 months call them and they will give them a job as a SL in their group. After 6 months got there job back with redundancy pay

Was told its contracts from mid 80s wonder when till

Ursus

These are contracts from before 2010, in the letter they write that they do not plan to submit another offer. Two years ago, they offered small money for switching to a new contract, but no one took advantage of it.Some people claim that if there are few people left on the old contracts, Tesco will be able to force them to change the contract more easily.

I've been in many meetings/pay talks. Every time they say they won't give another/better offer. Yet more often than not they do. Who knows if this time they really mean it. What else could they offer that is better further down the line?

Ursus

Some people would prefer to change the contract and stay with Tesco, but not for free. And there is no such offer now. You can stay on the old contract or change to a new one, but for free.

Wait and see what I get offered
