PUBLIC-SECTOR workers deserve to know their bosses’ eyewatering rates of pay, the Scottish Greens have said in a call for “top and tail” figures.

Forty-three of Scotland’s chief executives in state agencies are raking in six-figure salaries, the party’s researchers revealed yesterday, with some making more than a dozen times what they offer to ordinary workers.

The median salary in Scotland is £26,000 a year. In comparison a water treatment operator at Scottish Water is paid around £14,000.
