SMS text messaging on work matters like employee holiday request authorisations

A Doncaster supermarket has been drawn into a workplace battle. Unite lorry driver members pledged to take part in the latest round of industrial action, a demonstration and rally at the town’s Tesco store on Church Street on Saturday. A Tesco representative said: “We have robust contingency plans in place to ensure that our customers and stores in the Doncaster area won’t be disrupted by the industrial action.” The dispute surrounds the Eddie Stobart firm taking over the Tesco distribution centre.
