Every little helps | Tesco ups pay for third time in a year, and your staff may soon want a raise too

Tesco is upping its workers’ pay for the third time in less than a year, amid ongoing concerns about inflation and the cost of living.

Retail trade union Usdaw announced it had negotiated a pay deal with Tesco that will see the hourly pay rate for staff in stores and fulfilment centres rise by 72p to £11.02 per hour. Around 220,000 colleagues across the UK will benefit from this increase.
