Six water companies have blocked bonus pay outs to bosses over serious pollution incidents and other performance issues, under new rules on executive pay.
Gary Carter, GMB National Officer, said:
“Blocking bosses’ bonuses for private water companies’ frankly dismal performances is the absolute minimum the public expect.
“Many of these people are lucky to have jobs.
“Water workers toil night and day to keep the taps running and spillages to a minimum.
"But instead of investment in infrastructure they see money sucked out of the system in dividends and bonuses. It’s a disgrace."
