The labour court has recommended workers at Keeling Distribution, a Tesco supplier, to accept the company’s wage offer of 2% increase. Keeling offered the pay increase to match the hike accepted by workers at Tesco, but trade unions at Keeling asked for a 6% increase because the 300 staff accepted a nine-point cost reduction plan two years ago. Union members will now be balloted to accept or reject the 2% increase.
