Tesco appears to have provoked the ire of the man who could well be the next US president. The Guardian reports that Barack Obama has written to Tesco CEO Terry Leahy 'to urge the UK grocer to start talks with a US trade union over workers' rights at its new California-based business'.
Senator Obama is apparently unimpressed that Tesco's American workers are not entitled to contracts, which means they could be dismissed without warning, and that staff have to count sick leave as holiday.
