Several labour unions announce strike over Tesco working conditions

A number of labour unions in the Czech Republic have announced a strike over working conditions in the retail giant Tesco. Specifically, the unions believe that Tesco stores are being under-staffed leaving employees chronically overworked. They say that with the upcoming Christmas season, the situation is expected to get worse. Tesco Stores have defended themselves saying that the striking unions represent only a small fraction of its total 13,700 employees.
