Daniel Adams - Usdaw National Officer says: “Following the news of this potentially major upheaval, we have contacted the business for an urgent meeting to better understand the implications on the UK businesses.
“Although there is nothing concrete at this stage regarding the UK businesses it will nevertheless be an unsettling time for members who have been in the frontline in the battle against coronavirus. Usdaw will therefore be seeking assurances on future plans and in relation to jobs, along with members’ terms and conditions.”
