A statement from Unite follows below:

This decision brings an end to the recent pay negotiations and reflects a significant step forward for the hardworking staff at Morrisons, who have remained dedicated throughout the discussions.

The pay deal, which was reached after extensive negotiations between Unite representatives and Morrisons management, ensures a fair and improved wage package for the workforce.

The acceptance of this offer reflects the unity and strength of our members, and we will continue to stand with them in future discussions."
