Unite’s reaction to Fred Goodwin’s pension
Unite’s joint general secretary Derek Simpson said:
“Fred Goodwin’s pension is a national scandal. He was at the helm when RBS took the decisions which led to the current catastrophe. RBS have announced record losses and thousands of job cuts as a result.
“The government had to intervene to cut bonuses for the existing staff at the bank but Goodwin is still being allowed to walk away with a platinum pension.
“There should be an immediate investigation into how Fred Goodwin was allowed to walk away with so much when workers at the bank are facing job cuts and the taxpayer has been forced to bail out this bank.”
