Union blasts ‘rotten’ business practices lining the pockets of administrators while leaving workers with tuppence

TRADE unionists and politicians condemned Britain’s “rotten” business practices yesterday after it was revealed that administrators for collapsed parcel firm City Link are making millions in fees while hundreds of workers remain penniless.

An army of City analysts and advisers from accounting giant Ernst & Young have descended on the firm since its Christmas Eve demise — with their employer charging up to £642 an hour for their services.

Union RMT condemned the amounts being made while “over a thousand drivers have still not received a penny piece.”
