Labour relations in Tesco are at the top of the agenda

Bill Connor, general secretary, Frank Murphy, director of administration and John Youd, treasurer, visited the new Uni headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland last week. During their visit, they had talks with Uni general secretary Philip Jennings and commerce head Jan Furstenborg. Much of the discussions centered on British retail multinational Tesco, where USDAW has close to 100,000 members.
