The union said changes to pension contributions could leave workers £500 worse off.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite is focussed on our members’ jobs, pay and conditions and these unmerited changes to workers’ pensions will leave our members worse off every month.”

Morrisons has been approached for a comment.
