The GMB trade union is concerned that Asda's bank holiday working arrangements will not allow sufficient flexibility to those staff who want to pay their last respects to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.
Asda have said that stores will open at 5pm, however a skeleton staff will be required, as will a night team, with double time being offered for all hours worked.
Violence has raised its ugly head this week in our city and the impact has led to an outpouring of grief and questions.
Health and Safety officers from five unions met in Columbus Quay as the next stage in drafting a Long Covid Charter to help unions support members affected by the condition.
Trade union membership increases, as frustrated workers are forced to fight for fair pay and conditions
The GMB union are locked in talks with numerous employers from Merseyside to Belfast and Manchester to Armagh. Negotiations over pay and conditions are bringing out the best in our union members and officers as industrial action and the threat of further disruption kicks in.
Over 100 GMB union Wigan based members took to the streets this week as part of strike action over pay and conditions. A massive 89% voted by 93% to strike after talks broke down and after the mass turnout on the ballot paper the members walked out of work and onto the picket line in a dispute against their employer Pemberton Park and Leisure Homes.

Just a few thoughts on what we can do to help one another in the heat:
Ensuring members are carrying resealable water bottles.
Agreeing extra breaks on behalf of Porters and Warehouse colleagues (see Hot Weather Guidance attached)
Porters and drivers must avoid direct sunlight for long periods. Hats, Lip Protector and Sunscreen should be available to them as PPE.
Remind drivers that entering properties is at their own discretion. Large blocks of flats may need to be avoided to prevent over exertion.
