John Lewis has reported a 73% increase in profits, yet for the third year running, staff will receive no bonus. While executives focus on reinvesting in the business, thousands of employees are left wondering why their hard work isn’t being fairly rewarded.
The Reality for John Lewis Workers
Despite being an employee-owned company, John Lewis has frozen staff bonuses four times in five years, citing financial challenges. Workers have been offered a 7.4% pay rise, but in the face of rising living costs, inflation, and increased employer National Insurance contributions, many feel this isn’t enough.
While profits continue to climb, workers are being asked to do more with less. The reality is clear: without strong worker representation, decisions about fair pay and conditions will continue to be made without employee input.
Why This Matters Beyond John Lewis
This issue isn’t exclusive to John Lewis. Across the UK, companies are making record profits while failing to share the rewards with those who generate them. Without clear bonus policies, wage transparency, and fair pay agreements, workers will always be at the mercy of corporate decision-making.
At United Workers Alliance (UWA), we stand against unfair treatment. Employers should be held accountable for ensuring profits benefit all staff, not just executives.
