Protestors organised by the two million-strong union Unite sent a giant Valentine’s Day card and petition to Tesco ceo Sir Terry Leahy, calling for the chain to end “harsh and divisive conditions”.
Protests took place outside Tesco stores across the UK and Ireland, as well as at the retailer’s Regent Street store in central London.
The petition was signed by thousands of employees in the supermarket supply chain, including British, Polish, Portuguese and Lithuanian workers.
Unite’s joint general secretary Derek Simpson said: “Thousands of workers are calling on Sir Terry and Tesco to have a heart and show some love for the workers in Tesco’s supply chain.”
