TESCO DEPOT IN LIVINGSTON

Early day motion 1304, tabled 18 April 2007 by Jim Devine (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House expresses its deep concern that drivers at the Tesco depot in Livingston have been threatened with dismissal unless they sign up to new terms and conditions proposed by the company; notes that the new depot from which the drivers would be working is only 500 yards away from their current depot; further notes that some drivers fear that the new terms and conditions would cost them up to £5,000 per year; is concerned about allegations of management attempting to bully the staff to accept the new conditions; and urges Tesco to come back to open meaningful negotiations with the drivers' trade union, the Transport and General Workers' Union.

Signatures by party: Labour 35, Liberal Democrat 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
