Usdaw members at the Sainsbury’s in-house frozen food operation at Pineham, on the outskirts of Northampton, could be affected by the proposed transfer of the site to logistics business GXO.
Dave Gill – Usdaw National Officer says: “We have been briefed by Sainsbury’s about their restructure proposals, which could impact our members at the company’s frozen food distribution site in the Northamptonshire. We welcome an early indication from management that no one would lose their job or get moved to worse contractual terms.
“Usdaw will enter into detailed consultation talks with Sainsbury’s about the business case for their proposed transfer of operations at Pineham to the third-party logistics business GXO. In the meantime we are providing our members with the support, advice and representation they need.”
