Unite General Secretary @UniteSharon was in Glasgow today, planning the next phase in the fight for #JobsPayConditions across Scotland.
Here’s what our reps had to say 🗣️
"Our members are of the opinion that they are taking profit before people – it is all about profit for them," said Mr Gillespie.
"They are taking profit before health and safety and trying to union bust (where members are not encouraged to be part of a union)."
With profits touching £11.7 billion, our members offshore are taking on multi-billion oil and gas operators with another round of 48-hour strike action.
Unite is prepared to fight; unfettered corporate greed must be challenged.
1200 offshore contractors resume offshore strike action with another round of 48 hour strikes.
Oil & gas corporations continue to enjoy a profiteering bonanza. Unite’s members should get a much better share of the profits these oil giants are making.
They deserve it.
To commemorate #WorkersMemorialDay there will be events across Scotland to pay tribute to those who have died or suffered injuries, illnesses, or disabilities due to their work.

1400 offshore workers are set to strike, with more ballots are currently running.
Offshore companies enjoying record-busting profits are about to face the consequences of profiteering from their workers unless they listen to our members demands for better jobs, pay & conditions.
From Barra & Benbecula to Kirkwall & Wick, workers this morning began taking action at HIAL airports to increase the #JobsPayandConditions in some of our most rural communities.

We know what to expect from the Tories in tomorrow’s budget, but let's make sure workers do not pay for this crisis and this government’s mistakes.

Tomorrow is the most important budget since 2008
• We know the Tories cannot be trusted on jobs, investment & taxing wealth
• And so we will be watching Keir Starmer closely. Will he step up & back taxes on wealth & a proper living wage
Our trade union are watching you Keir
