Wüst wants to link bonus payments for rail managers to performance

The Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hendrik Wüst, is demanding consequences for the management of Deutsche Bahn after the state-owned company is threatened with billions in losses. "I treat everyone to a reasonable salary if the performance is right," said the CDU politician in an interview published on Saturday by RTL / ntv.

"Unfortunately, with the track, you always have to have doubts as to whether the performance is right," he explained. "The performance has to be right and it would be good if the federal government, as the owner of the railways, did its part to really link such bonuses to better performance." This must be done in the interests of millions of people who work with us every day had to contend with the chaos of the railway.

On Thursday, Deutsche Bahn announced that it was expecting a minus of one billion euros in the current year. It was also known that rail boss Richard Lutz had received more than twice as much money from his company last year as a year earlier. According to the annual report published on Thursday, the remuneration of the CEO was 2.24 million euros. His base salary was almost 970,000 euros. Added to this was a bonus of more than 1.26 million euros.
