LONDON (Reuters) – British supermarket group Sainsbury’s said on Tuesday it would raise pay for its workers again as competition to attract and retain staff hots up in a tight labour market.
The UK’s second largest grocer said 127,000 hourly paid workers will get a 25 pence per hour increase from October.
Sainsbury’s said the pay increase would cost it 20 million pounds ($23.4 million).
