Unite comment on RBS bonuses
8 March 2011
Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary, said: "While most
taxpayers continue to suffer during tough economic times the top
bankers at RBS - and yesterday at Barclays - celebrate their
ludicrous bonuses. While everyone else is worried about paying
their household bills, these people are counting their bundles of
cash.
"Instead of cutting police numbers and slashing public sector
pensions this Government should be taking decisive action to stop
this 83 per cent state supported institution from paying the
bankers such bonuses. These bonuses are a disgrace."
