Tommy Sheridan, Co-Convenor of Solidarity, has called for a boycott of Tescos in support of the 60 drivers who have been effectively sacked after refusing new terms and conditions.

The 60 drivers who have been sacked are taking strike action from midnight tomorrow.  Sheridan said:

"We need to show support and solidarity for these drivers who have been treated shabbily and have taken strike action in the face of intimidation and bully boy tactics.  We are seeing an increasingly hostile environment for workers, from Simclar and Sunvic, Mauchline creamery and now Tescos drivers.  The Solidarity membership will be joining the drivers on the picket line and refusing to buy goods from tescos, I urge you to join us".

It is understood that Eddie Stobbart drivers will be hired to deliver in the meantime amid fears of empty shelves.
