The supermarket chain has come under fire for this decision.
Asda has double-backed on a promise it made to their delivery drivers, cutting 1,500 workers pay by more than 12 per cent amid the soaring cost of living crisis.
GMB Union national officer, Nadine Houghton said: “Asda’s attempt to address its driver shortage was a sticking plaster that was never going to work. Asda needs to address the fundamental issue: driver pay is much lower than other retailers – as is their shop-floor pay. Asda said the enhanced pay package “has not delivered the desired results”. It added that all workers affected by the decision had been contacted.
This news comes as the GMB branded Asda the "worst paying" supermarket of the Big Four stores. Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury’s have increased the basic hourly rate to £10.50, £10.30 and £10.25 respectively.
