The supermarket chain says it is consulting on whether higher pay for some employees 'makes sense'.
Supermarket chain Asda is considering whether to cut the pay of 7,000 staff in the south east of England to bring it in line with its other stores.
A spokesperson said all Asda staff had recently been given a 10% pay rise to help with soaring inflation.The union said the workers were already low-paid, and that planning to reduce pay during a cost-of-living crisis was "inexcusable". It added that those who do not agree to the pay reduction "could be dismissed if they refuse to sign" the new contract.
"These slash and burn tactics, along with food and fuel price increases, will only ramp up if the merger goes ahead," said GMB organiser Nadine Houghton.
