Ordinary AIB staff ‘being abused’ over €40m bonus

ORDINARY staff members in AIB are being wrongly subjected to “abuse, ridicule and anger” over the €40 million bonus to be paid next week.

General secretary of the Irish Banking Officials Association, Larry Broderick, said ordinary staff are not the beneficiaries of the bonus windfall and should not be subjected to abuse from the public.

“I can understand that anger, but it should not be vented at people who are at the coalface working with customers everyday.
