The debate about how much a full time officer/leader of a trade union should be paid is something the TU movement have been disscussing since before i was born.

To close this topic Big Daz, because we are both off the subject, what I am saying is that it appears honoraria payments are being made ON TOP of their wages.....

Post a link to the LTB so we can get to the bottom of it....

The LTB is in Union room been there since last Tuesday LTB 1064/09 - CWU HQ Budget Process 2010 or something like that. Plenty of views, 209 to be exact but no comments. Perhaps everyone is too shocked by what they read to comment?

Are you telling me there are national level reps/officers/NEC bods who get a wage from the CWU and honoria payments on top?

If so please DO tell me more here http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=22447" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I shall have to send my views in to TK on national union finances.

A true “honoraria” is generally a payment received by an office holder. It may only be a token payment rather than a commercial fee, but it is clearly a payment which results from holding the office. Such payments are “earnings” for the purposes of section 3(1) SSCBA 1992 and will be liable for Class 1 NICs.

The above text was taken from HM Revenue and Customs .. not sure if it helps or not! ... :crazy:
Ahebban - anglo-saxon in origin - meaning 'Wages War'
