Supermarket strikes suspended after improved supply

Further strikes by Morrisons workers have been suspended after the Bradford-headquartered supermarket chain presented an improved pay offer, a union confirmed.

In West Yorkshire and Cheshire, around 1,000 workers went on strike from 23 to 26 May in an industrial dispute over pensions and net wages.

Another strike was due to take place at warehouses in Wakefield and Northwich between 13 and 16 June, but Unite said it cancelled it as a “gesture of goodwill”.

A Morrisons spokesman responded that the company was pleased to have found a “way forward” “subject to the outcome of the vote”.
