Post Office Bosses Earn £1.2 Million Plus

The Workers of England Union has written to the new Business Secretary, Greg Clark, urging him to investigate the pay awards made to the Post Office’s top executives. This call comes amid growing concern over inflated remuneration in a government–owned organisation.

Escalating Salaries at the Top

According to the union’s letter:

• Chief Executive Paula Vennells receives over £600,000 per year.
• Finance Director Al Cameron earns in excess of £500,000 annually.
• Non–executive directors are paid between £40,000 and £45,000, with one individual receiving up to £50,000.

Union Leader’s Statement

“This is a clear example of ‘Fat Cats’ being rewarded for what is essentially a list of failings. The Workers of England Union urges the new Business Secretary, Greg Clark, to investigate how these individuals have granted themselves over three times the Prime Minister’s salary. The government needs to take charge of what is ultimately a government–owned business.”
