It has been confirmed in the past few hours that staff at 70 Tesco stores nationwide will not go ahead with their scheduled strike action tomorrow.
The news of the cancelation comes as the Mandate Trade Union and Tesco management have agreed to re-enter negotiations at the Workplace Relations Commission this Friday.
Tesco confirmed the news in a brief statement earlier today, which reads: “This afternoon the WRC extended an invitation to Tesco and the Trade Unions to attend a fifth conciliation meeting on Friday, May 27 to try reach agreement on the terms for the proposed changes to our pre-1996/97 that affects c300 colleagues of our 14,500 workforce.”
“We have accepted this invitation and we understand that the trade unions have as well. “Mandate has cancelled its planned industrial action for tomorrow, Thursday, May 26.”
