Tesco recently faced a significant legal challenge over its controversial “fire and rehire” strategy, where the company attempted to change the contracts of long-serving distribution centre employees by terminating their existing agreements and offering new ones with less favourable terms. The High Court ruled against Tesco, blocking the practice and reinforcing employees’ rights to their original contractual benefits. This case has sparked wider debate on the ethics and legality of “fire and rehire” tactics in the UK. For more details, check out the following articles:
