Workers raging over bosses’ bonuses

AN POST workers facing up to 1,500 job losses yesterday criticised their management for accepting bonuses while warning that the company was headed for further financial losses.

Figures from An Post’s last annual report reveal that top management at the company shared a salary and bonus package of €773,000 between them last year despite knowing that losses at the company would run into millions this year.

A bonus payment of €27,000 paid to former chief executive John Hynes, who retired in July, was singled out for particular criticism by unions representing angry An Post workers.
