TESCO APPEARS TO be on a collision course with more than 200 Scottish drivers over plans to change their terms and conditions when a .£75m distribution depot opens next year.

The Transport & General Workers Union claims the drivers will be substantially worse off when a new depot at Livingston replaces sites in Livingston and Dundee (CM 23 March).

One Livingston-based driver says drivers fear four hours a night will be cut from the qualifying period for night-time shift premiums -There is disappointment, anger and disgust with the company," he ad d s." The mood is growing rapidly towards taking industrial action."

The company is due to hold further talks with the union following an initial meeting last week.

• The Transport & General Workers Union is bringing together all its shop stewards for Tesco for the first time in a bid to exchange information and offer updates on road transport legislation.

The meeting, planned for 25 April, will be chaired by Ron Webb, national secretary for road transport, and Brian Revell, national organiser for food and agriculture.
