Tesco staff in Irvine are at risk of redundancy thanks to a restructure.
The company are in consultation over the future for their in-store bakeries, which means almost 2000 jobs across the UK are at risk.
Shopworkers’ trade union Usdaw are in talks about the risk of jobs.
Pauline Foulkes, National Officer says: “This is devastating and upsetting news for our members who work in the bakery operations. Usdaw will be entering into collective consultation with Tesco to consider the business case for these planned changes over the coming weeks.
“Many of those affected by the proposed changes are skilled workers. While we will do everything possible to maintain jobs or support impacted staff to redeploy into alternative roles, the reality is the opportunities to find suitable alternative skilled roles may be limited for these workers.
“Usdaw representatives will be available to support and advise affected members during this difficult time and throughout the consultation period.”
