Labour MP Henk Nijboer want to see if the bonus legislation could be strengthened to “this self-enrichment to a halt.”
Friday, ABN Amro announced that the top executives, except Chairman Gerrit Zalm, 2014 a ton of salary received extra. A day earlier reported ING and insurer NN that the salary of board members is increased.
The Labour Party calls the bonuses at ING and ABN Amro morally and socially reprehensible. “At the top is the address you can grab while many ordinary bank employees will be laid off and businesses can not get loans,” said MP Henk Nijboer in a comment. According to the PvdA bankers this show that they have learned nothing from the crisis.
Not eager
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Finance Minister announces legally and politically nothing to raise to be able to do. “This follows a law of 2012, that decision was then approved by the then Minister of Finance (Jan Kees de Jager, ed.) And by the House.”
The fact that ABN Amro D personnel at the zero line and the top is now bijkrijgt money, state Dijsselbloem “indefensible with enthusiasm.”

Curiously
Deputy Prime Lodewijk Asscher said moments later a remarkable signal, especially considering the fact that many workers their jobs are not confident in the financial sector and for years have not received a salary increase.
CDA MP Pieter Omtzigt it is not even with the increase, ” While many SMBs stuck to unfair contracts for derivatives, while fraud in the branch in Dubai and while ordinary employee of ABN Amro on the is zero, there will be a large pay increase for the top spot. The bankers of a state bank, which was rescued by the government, have thus run an excellent opportunity to show that they have understood the challenges of banking. You hide behind the legal option is an excuse: you do not need to do all that is allowed within the legal possibilities ”
SP MP Arnold Merkies find the salary increase of both banks “shameless” after the banks. with tax money are saved. That Merkies announces to NU.nl.
“In addition, they maintain (the banks, ed.) Apparently different criteria after the administration, then the staff of the banks,” said Merkies.
He does not only aims at freezing the salaries of the staff, but also on the announced layoffs announced by ING and ABN Amro. The SP’s going to minister Dijsselbloem ask about questions here.
‘Locusts Behavior
The Union Trade Union speaks in a comment about “insane behavior of locusts.” “Bankers gave us first systemic crisis that has cost alone at state bank ABN Amro 28 billion of public money,” said Reinier Castelein, president of the union.
According to the Union run other bank employees just goes against more job insecurity to the new dismissal that this year.
“While true for ordinary workers that they will be treated to a pinched new severance mid-year, it is going to grab the top shamelessly “said Castelein. “The summit has no empathy with the consequences they have caused the banking crisis since 2008.”
Positive
FNV Finance- director Carla Kiburg calls the salary increase acid, but looks at the same time something positive.
“This autumn we will start negotiations on the new collective bargaining agreement. Then we can, after years of stagnation and decline, now heavily in the attack for a good raise. A relief for our members at the bank recent years in purchasing power have lost, “said Kiburg.
Social Responsibility
The Dutch Banking Association (NVB) suggests that Dutch bank account in their remuneration policy with the public debate and their social responsibility.
” Remuneration policy within the framework of the law the responsibility of the individual banks, ” says the association. Here is the code of conduct for banks stipulates that the total income of a bank director is lower than the middle (median) in a group similar functions within and outside the financial sector. A spokesman for the NVB stated that the banks abide by that code and the law
