Yesterday’s news that bankers are to be forced to reveal how many of their employees earn more than £1m a year can only be good for the public. So the Change Your Bank Campaign is today calling for other professions to also reveal how many of their employees earn more than £1million each year.
How many of the nation’s nurses are earning more than £1 million? How many surgeons? Or ambulance drivers? How many millionaire air traffic controllers are there? How many Police Chiefs earn more than £1 million? How many charity heads, teachers and social workers are now earning more than £1million?
We believe that it’s only fair that other professions should produce this information too, as it might lead to a better understanding among the public of just how unfair the current system is.
We need your support and help to make the campaign a success. This weekend – talk to your friends about Change your bank and about how you think the current system is completely unfair. Get them to go to the change your bank site and become a fan. Or tweet or blog about the issue.
We can get the banks to change, but only if we start to make some noise about it.
Thanks!

We’re constantly told that bonuses have to be paid, or we’ll lose the bankers. But where will they go? They’ve failed miserably and, you’d think, are now unemployable. And what would happen if all the nurses and teachers left our shores? Who would we miss the most?
