She said: "This is devastating news for Tesco Direct staff.
"Usdaw officials and senior reps will now enter into consultation talks with the company where we will look closely at the business case for the proposed closure.
"Our priorities will be to support, advise and represent our members through this difficult period, and to get the best possible deal for them."
Charles Wilson, CEO of Tesco UK & ROI, said: "We want to offer our customers the ability to buy groceries and non-food products in one place and that’s why we are focusing our investment into one online platform.
"This decision has been a very difficult one to make, but it is an essential step towards establishing a more sustainable non-food offer and growing our business for the future."
