In 2008, the banks crashed the economy. Workers paid through austerity. Since then, they’ve faced crisis after crisis. Now workers pay more tax as energy bills rise, while extreme wealth and excessive profits go largely untouched. These are political choices. The Budget must answer one question: who pays?

Solidarity with our members at Apache. Apache is part of a global company which is making billions of pounds in profit. They can easily afford to resolve this dispute. @unitetheunion members will take further action on 4 November unless a fair deal is offered. #JobsPayConditions

In my conversations with the @10DowningStreet and the Chancellor, I have been very clear that whilst we of course support net zero, we cannot have a jobless transition, abandon our energy security or offshore our carbon responsibilities. That is why we have argued for this decision on Jackdaw. This gives us a bit more time to create and fund a concrete plan for commensurate jobs for workers currently working in the North Sea. Now we urgently need to use that and invest in industries like wind turbine manufacture and refining green jet fuel. We simply cannot let go of one rope until we have hold of another.

The fact is Apache has so far chosen not to do this which is putting UK fuel supplies at risk. That is reckless behaviour and it is driven by shameful corporate greed. 2/2

🚨Shameful corporate greed ⛽️ UK fuel supplies hit as Apache offshore workers announce 24-hour strike 💬 Apache is part of a global company which makes £billions in profit. They can easily afford to resolve this dispute without denting their profits. 1/2 thenational.scot/news/266489…

UNITE WIN | EnQuest offshore workers Unite has secured a significant pay win at EnQuest. It’s the latest example of why we are the leading union for offshore workers. #JobsPayConditions ➡️ unitetheunion.org/news-event…

We will not tolerate unacceptable pay offers and threats to withhold back pay from Apache. The operator is raking in eye-watering profits. It’s treating its highly skilled workers with contempt. Apache has been caught red handed in embarking on shameful corporate greed. tankstorage.com/news/strike-…

Great to be with @unitetheunion delegates at the @UKLabour conference 2026. I spoke yesterday on Unite’s motion: Rebuilding our economy for working people. Working class people cannot pay anymore. #LPC26

🔥 UNITE WIN The threat of strike action by Tunnock's workers secured a greatly improved pay offer. Congratulations to Unite members in Uddingston, this is a significant pay victory. #JobsPayConditions ⤵️

Thank you to all our members at Arriva North who stood together to achieve this landmark win👏🏽

Unite has been warning that a perfect storm has been hanging over the auto industry for years. 'Death by a thousand cuts' has been going on under the nose of successive governments. Years of underinvestment, unsustainable ZEV mandates and high industrial energy costs are crippling the industry. There must be further action. There have been intensive government discussions over the weekend to look at how to mitigate these job losses at JLR. The Business Secretary, Jonny Reynolds, and I are meeting the CEO of JLR next week. @unitetheunion was pivotal in securing the £1.5 billion government facility for JLR after the cyber-attack. Once again, we will leave no stone unturned to support these workers. It cannot be acceptable that workers are again made to pay the price bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gk…

Apache is treating our offshore members with contempt by making offers which are effective pay cuts. That is unacceptable, especially as its parent group is making massive profits. The Apache workers will have Unite’s full support in their fight for better #jobspayconditions.
