Employees of UK supermarket Morrisons are set to vote on strike action over pensions and take-home pay.

Over 1,000 union members working as warehouse stock controllers, cooks, canteen staff and administrators across sites in Cheshire and Wakefield will vote for strike action regarding their pensions and pay.

This comes following reports of an increase in worker pension contributions, with Morrisons set to reduce its contributions.

The ballot for Morrisons employees is now open, but will close on 9th May. If enough people vote to strike, industrial action will take place during spring and summer.

Morrisons is also reportedly introducing a new “pick rate”, while simultaneously removing its Long Service Award.

Trade union Unite said that the “unmerited changes to workers’ pensions” would leave its members “worse off every month”.

Morrisons has refused to comment at this time.
