Union leader accuses Tesco of exploiting the cost-of-living crisis
A Tesco Extra store, November 25, 2020
SUPERMARKET giant Tesco has been accused of “raking in mountains of cash” while families struggle to survive.
The accusation came from Unite general secretary Sharon Graham after Tesco announced it had made profits of £2.83 billion in 2023/4 — up more than £300 million from the previous year.
During this period inflation in Britain reached more than 11 per cent — and food price inflation was even higher.
