Over £8bn in profit in just a quarter 😳

Shell continues making huge profits - meanwhile, working people are being squeezed by soaring energy bills.

Working people shouldn’t have to choose between heating their homes and making ends meet while big oil and energy giants cash in on the back of global crises.

So, what are our choices? The government must put an END to energy profiteering and workers must secure wages that match the cost of living to stay afloat.

“In my Budget meetings with the Chancellor, I have driven home the importance of who pays, the working class cannot pay anymore, there is nothing left to give. I have focused on the cost of living crisis areas that need to be addressed and the key importance of backing British Industry. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Along with taxing the city banks so we can drive money into our public services and cheaper energy bills. But whatever happens in Parliament this week, our main focus as a union must be the workplace. The workplace is where our members win pay deals for our members – the tried and tested defence against the cost of living crisis." @UniteSharon

😟 Some bosses are telling Unite negotiators that uncertainty around the Iran war means they can’t afford a decent pay rise.
📈 But Unite Investigates research on the major stock exchanges tells a different story. The 17 firms that have published results recently on the London Stock Exchange took home a combined £25 billion in profit in just three months! That's £3.1 billion more than they made in last year's equivalent quarter 💰💰
Many companies that employ Unite members can well afford a decent rise. Check https://t.co/xcS7bXr8wH (p48) and use Unite’s tools like Financial Insider to get the real picture on your employer
