Sainsbury s warehouse in Dartford Supermarket supplies over Easter could be in doubt after DHL staff at Sainsbury s Dartford distribution centre are threatening to go on strike. More than 350 DHL staff are being balloted for industrial action after one of their Unite representatives was given a completely unjustified suspension for what the union says was representing a member of staff.
