Hudson’s Bay Co. has backtracked on its decision last month to cut commission pay earned by hundreds of cosmeticians and fragrance advisers during liquidation sales, CBC News has learned.

The retailer’s sudden change of heart follows a grievance filed by its union, Unifor, which represents dozens of the workers, and CBC News coverage.

CBC reported two weeks ago that several cosmeticians and fragrance advisers (also knows as beauty advisers) said they were distraught over the loss of commission pay, as it would significantly reduce their take-home pay.
