SHOPWORKERS’ union Usdaw has passed a major milestone by negotiating a £10-an-hour basic pay rate for well over 100,000 workers at the Morrisons supermarket chain.
The deal, shortly to go out for consultation among union members at the retail giant, is certainly good news for Morrisons staff — but it also sets a historic benchmark for pay talks with other key employers in the sector.
And it is a major success for the union’s New Deal for Workers campaign that has the £10 basic rate at the centre of a charter of demands aimed at creating security, dignity and fairness for all in the retail and distribution industry.
