GMB has described Thames Water paying senior managers £18 million as 'obscene'.
Gary Carter, GMB National Officer, said:
“Thames Water is sinking under a torrent of debt, fines, and pollution.
“It is obscene that the company think it's acceptable to dish out £18 million in extras to twenty one senior managers.
“These payouts are a kick in the teeth to the frontline workers getting a 4% pay rise and the customers who’ve seen their bills hiked up by hundreds of pounds a year.
“Thames Water is laughing in the face of the Government and regulators’ freeze on bonuses – the only way to stop this is nationalisation.”
