Sweeping statement or not it's clear that Boardroom Greed has crippled some companies and decimated shop-floor pay and pensions throughout the country!

From the media...must be bonus time of the year...





Nearly a third of Lloyds Bank workers say they are struggling financially, according to a poll which has highlighted the disparity between the bank’s worst-paid staff and its chief executive, who took home £6.3m last year.

A confidential union pay survey seen by the Guardian showed that nearly 50% of respondents said they fear losing their job. It comes as Lloyds pushes ahead with a major reorganisation that has meant cutting more than 11,000 roles since 2018.

The poll, conducted last summer, compiled the views of “several thousand” members of the Unite trade union across the business, according to a source with knowledge of the survey, including staff working in branches and call centres, as well as divisions such as commercial banking, risk and insurance.

Nearly a third said they were struggling financially, with 22% saying they were often short of money before payday. A further 3.6% said they were facing serious difficulties with a similar portion relying on overdrafts or loans to get by.

Similar thing, if that many are crowing about pay then why is it not more apparent, how many staff do Lloy. employ?

Part of a Union Rubbish, there is a Staff representative committee which is a toothless operation that no one takes any note of.

Too contrived, therefore not funny.

I don’t believe that tweet, they are part of a Union, can take their issues to arbitration, the same would apply to all banking staff, all the ones I see look very happy, a;though that is meaningless, I don’t know how they really feel!

A Scotsman goes into a bar in London where there is a robot bartender. The robot says, “What will you have?”
The guy replies, “Whisky.”;
The robot brings back his drink and asks, “What’s your I.Q.?”
The guy says, “168.”
The robot continues to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.
After the guy leaves and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.

The robot asks, “What’s your drink?”
The guy answers, “Whisky.”;
The robot returns with his drink and asks, “What’s your I.Q.?”
The man replies, “100.”
The robot talks about Football, Manchester United, and Cricket.
The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in his “experiment221; that he decides to try again.

He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he want to drink.
The man replies, “Whisky.”;
The robot brings the drink and asks, “What’s your IQ?”The man answers, “50.”
The robot leans in real close and asks,
“So . . . are . . . you people . . . still happy . . . with Brexit?”

So what do the French do with them now?"A group of illegal immigrants were so worried about their plight in the UK after Brexit that they decided to flee the country in what authorities described as a 'very rare and unusual attempt'.French authorities were shocked to discover 33 runaways hiding in a lorry in Calais, France."
