These payments were made despite the fact both companies are part of a major industrial dispute where hundreds of millions of pounds has been used to indemnify them against lost revenue from strike action.
The news comes just over a year after the disgraced company unlawfully sacked 800 seafarers.
@RMTunion members working as cleaners for the likes of Atalian Servest, Churchill and Bidvest Noonan are demanding £15 an hour, company sick pay, decent holidays and good pensions from contractors who are raking in profits worth millions of pounds.

Over 10,000 @RMTunion members will be taking strike action across the tube tomorrow shutting down London Underground.
