I see the Daily Mail has picked up HERE that managers at equity broker Cheuvreux, part of the Crédit Agricole financial group, will get huge bonuses this year despite receiving a French government bail out of more than £2.5m.
Equal rights for women and men?
What is worse is that a number of individuals who have been accused of sexually harassing women at the firm are also going to get a bumper handout. Readers may recall a certain Jerry Lees. A London court heard that he thought he was ‘running a brothel’ and and that women empoyees were his ’team of prostitutes.” His main victim was a woman called Rosemarie Corscadden who was persistently demeaned and pestered for sex. I have been supporting brave Rosemarie by blogging.
I am really pleased that so many people have left messages of goodwill for Rosemarie on my blog.
With the decision of the court due shortly, it is unbelievable that Crédit Agricole are going to pay Lees one single penny of their £45m bonus scheme, when they will not be able to reclaim if he is found guilty.
If anyone deserve a bonus it is Rosemarie. But I guess Crédit Agricole wouldn’t want a woman earning the same as a man.
