Aldi to give UK warehouse workers second pay rise in a year

Majority will now earn minimum of 12.66 an hour, up from 11.95, with those in London on at least 13.05

Aldi is giving its warehouse workers their second pay rise in a year, with wages rising almost 6% for most staff next month, in the latest sign of the intense competition for workers in the UK.

The UK's fifth-largest grocer said the majority of its warehouse workers, known as selectors, would now earn a minimum of 12.66 an hour, up from 11.95 at present after an increase from 11.48 in January. Those working in London will receive a minimum of 13.05 an hour.
