MINISTERS’ PLANS TO BLOCK FAILING THAMES BONUSES “RIGHT CALL” – GMB

Thames Water bosses’ plans to pay out whopper bonuses a “slap in the face” says water workers’ union

Responding to reports that the Government plans to block Thames Water senior managers loan bonuses, Gary Carter, GMB National Officer, said:

“Paying out huge bonuses to failing water bosses would be a slap in the face to their workers and consumers alike.

“Like Thames Waters multiple owners, senior managers come and go, and Thames Waters pollution fines and finances go from bad to worse.

“The Thames Chair has got it wrong – it’s Thames Water’s loyal long serving workforce which are its most precious resource. They’re the backbone of the company and they deserve better pay and bonuses for keeping failing assets from falling over.

“It is the right call from the Government to step in and stop these bonuses.”
