GMB, Britain’s general union, has commented on High Pay Day today -when the UK’s top bosses will have made more money than the typical UK full-time worker will earn in the entire year.
Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary, said:
“It should be a source of national shame that in just a handful of days, company fat cats will have made more money than the typical UK full-time worker will earn in the entire year.
“These empires are built on the back of hard-working staff, many of whom will be struggling to make ends meet.
“If this Government wants to show it’s not just on the side of billionaires it should rein in the excesses of those at the top.”
