UNIONS have condemned the boss of logistics giant XPO for taking a multimillion-pound bonus despite the company receiving furlough support.

The $80 million (£57m) Covid-19 pandemic bonus to US chief executive Bradley Jacobs comes amid growing scrutiny into “pandemic profiteering.”

Analysis of government figures show that XPO claimed at least £3.28m in furlough payments in December and up to £10.5m in February, Unite and GMB said.
