The dinosaurs of the trades union movements were out and about yesterday at the start of the TUC Conference posturing about fighting spending cuts and protecting their members’ jobs by means of what one of them called a campaign of civil disobedience. And this before anyone knows where the cuts will fall.
We will hear much about workers’ pay and conditions in the next few days, but nothing at all about those of the union leaders themselves. A report by the Taxpayers Alliance showed that 38 trade union General Secretaries and Chief Executives receive pay and benefits in excess of £100,000 per year. The top six men earn between £106,000 and £127,000.
What do these overpaid people know about the pay and conditions of their members?
