Tesco - get your groceries somewhere else.
 In an unacceptable number of cases UK supermarket Tesco is squeezing its suppliers to provide goods at very low prices. Farmers and workers at the end of the supply chain are being forced to work harder, faster and for longer hours. They are paid poor wages and have no access to basic rights such as sick pay, maternity pay and the right to join a trade union.
Tesco's own purchasing practices undermine the very labour standards it claims to promote.
This is not acceptable. Act now - e-mail Tesco's chief executive. You should definitely have a look at the Tescopoly website as well.

Safeway was well represented on Teesside due to its takeover of Hintons supermarkets whose origin was in Middlesbrough. So when Morrisons took over Safeway the Competition Commision was interested
Two of the larger Safeway stores (including one that was being built) have become Tesco outlets. Several forecourt stores which were being run by Morrisons have gone over to Tesco. Some convenience stores are now Tesco stores. All this from what was an absence of Tesco just two years ago. It almost makes one think that the members of the Competion Commission are Tesco shareholders...
