Unite statement on bonus payments for staff at Northern
Rock
10 March 2010
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer said: “Unite supports the
bonus payments being made to the staff at Northern Rock as
appropriate recognition for the turn around in the fortunes of the
bank. The improved financial results announced today (10th March)
are the direct result of the hard work and dedication of workforce,
in particular the thousands of staff in the North-East.
“It should be remembered that those we represent are amongst
some of the lowest paid workers in the finance industry. These
modest bonus payments allow them to make ends meet and pay their
household bills, not to buy second homes or Ferraris, as is the
case with bonuses for traders in the City of London.”
