Unite comment on Barclays’ bonus story

4 February 2011

Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary, said: "If this bonus story is accurate Bob Diamond and his chums in the City again make blatantly clear their arrogance in awarding themselves bumper bonuses. They continue to ignore the devastation their banks have brought to this country and the government continues to allow them to laugh all the way to the bank.

"Nobody is fooled by Cameron and Clegg's empty promises of reining in these greedy bankers. They are busy slashing essential public services, while these bosses continue to enjoy their lavish lifestyles."
