A potential strike by nearly 500 HGV drivers supplying Morrisons stores in northern England has been averted following a successful agreement between the Unite union and Eddie Stobart regarding the use of agency labor. The drivers, stationed at distribution centers in Wakefield, Stockton-on-Tees, and Northwich, had previously voted in favor of industrial action. The resolution comes after negotiations aimed at addressing the drivers' concerns, ensuring job security and fair labor practices. The agreement marks a significant step in maintaining operations and service continuity for Morrisons in the region.
