--

It’s no surprise to anyone that the current situation in Europe has caused fuel prices to skyrocket. Add to that the inherent profiteering in the fuel industry and you’ve got a vicious circle of rising prices.

We were already trying to reduce fossil fuel usage to limit carbon emissions, but recent price hikes have brought extra pressure to reduce consumption.

So why is it that employers are insisting on a ‘post-pandemic’ (it’s not over) return to the office which is effectively burning their employees’ money?

Inflation is rising, our wages have been subdued, and now you’re asking us to do more from our shrinking pay packet?

Employers, do more to help your staff.
