An official at a leading union said it would stick up for disabled workers at a UK-wide firm. Phil Davies, GMB National Secretary responsible for Remploy members at 54 factories, said: "It is unbelievable that… able bodied bosses [are rewarded] for their failure to provide sufficient work for the factory that is leading to the closure threat." Staff have received a pay rise offer of £250 while bosses' bonuses took off. The union claims top Remploy managers' bonuses average £5,230.
