Green’s promise to sort out pensions is long overdue
DISGRACED BHS boss Sir Philip Green has been urged by shop workers’ union Usdaw to stand by his promise and “sort out” the pension fund of the store’s 20,000 workers.
The chain went into liquidation this year leaving the pension fund with a £345 million deficit. Previously the fund had a £43m surplus.
Mr Green and his family took £307m in dividends from BHS between 2002 and 2004.
