Actually Mr Walsh has announced he is working for no pay in July, as are some of his other executives. I knwo it’s only one month, but to give up 1/12th of your pay isn’t a bad statement.
What WW and ONE of his executives are doing is saying to the workforce we’ve given something up now you’ll have to too.
The difference is that what he wants the workforce to give up is terms, conditions and salary for good, not for one month or even the two years he’s been offered, constantly rejecting the various unions’ offers of short term solutions for a short term situation. To put this into context in some departments he is looking for the equivalent of £6000 per head in savings, the vast majority of that coming directly from peoples salaries, and I’m talking from salaries of £15-20K, not the top end earners.
Also lets not forget that without the £478m in various fines this year we would have made a profit, and that’s without him continuing to pay the salaries of the managers dismissed over the fines because, surprisingly, they can’t find new jobs. Then there’s the managers made redundant with sizeable pay-offs then employed a week later as consultants at three times the cost, then the cost of the T5 opening farce, etc., etc., etc., etc…..
