Read our privacy policy Sainsbury’s has said it will increase pay for its 127,000 hourly workers in the third hike over the past year. The retail giant, which runs almost 600 supermarkets and more than 800 convenience stores, said it will raise these workers’ pay to at least £11 an hour from February. Sainsbury’s and Argos hourly retail colleague pay will increase from £10.25 to £11.00 per hour and from £11.30 to £11.95 per hour in London, it said. “I’m really pleased that the progress we are making against our strategy means that we can continue to prioritise investing in colleagues to reward them for the fantastic service they deliver every day.” Dave Gill, Usdaw national officer, said: “We continue to work closely with Sainsbury’s on pay and these successive substantial increases make a significant difference to our members.
