Union brands BBC executive directors' increases 'shameful'
The NUJ has reacted angrily to news that BBC executive directors have been awarded pay rises of up to £107,000 each.
Management defended these pay rises by stating that they were benchmarked against executive director pay in other public and private companies.
NUJ Broadcasting Organiser, Paul McLaughlin, said: "In a period where BBC staff have seen their workloads increase and jobs cut, it is shameful that the executives at the corporation have awarded themselves such huge bonuses.
"Management should have the decency to show restraint at a time when so many BBC staff are under huge pressures following major cutbacks.
"This announcement will only serve to disillusion staff further."
