More than 200 jobs are at risk at Asda and over 4,000 night workers face having their pay reduced.
Asda has unveiled a major shake-up of store operations and is proposing that some overnight restocking shifts at 184 stores are moved to the daytime, putting 211 night shift manager roles at risk. The supermarket said the changes will also affect 4,137 hourly paid workers, who will see shift patterns move to the daytime and lose their night shift pay premium of at least £2.52 per hour.
Asda also revealed a 25% cut to the opening hours of 23 in-store Post Office shops. Meanwhile, it will also shut seven in-store pharmacies, which employ 14 pharmacists and 48 other workers.
