Tesco - pay for the misery you have caused
We call on the Tesco Chief executive Dave Lewis to arrange for goodwill payments to all the suppliers affected by their practise of withholding payments totalling the equivalent fine that they would have incurred if the adjudicator had the power to implement such a fine. Tesco should take every opportunity to undo the financial damage they have caused their suppliers through this illegal practice of withholding payments.
Why is this important?
Tesco have been caught out and then admitted to delaying payments to suppliers to improve its own financial position. Despite bringing financial misery to the owners, the threat of bankruptcy and job losses to some of their smaller suppliers, Tesco's have not offered them any direct apologies, financial recompense and to top it all, they also have avoided any fines by the Grocery Code Adjudicator.
Whilst recognising that Tesco claims to have changed these unfair practises towards suppliers they have done nothing in attempting to make good the damage they have done.
