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.
If this figure is averaged over the entire period of the furlough scheme to date, then XPO would have received more than £100m, with the company potentially benefiting from taxpayer-funded business rates relief too, the unions said.

Sainsbury s warehouse in Dartford Supermarket supplies over Easter could be in doubt after DHL staff at Sainsbury s Dartford distribution centre are threatening to go on strike. More than 350 DHL staff are being balloted for industrial action after one of their Unite representatives was given a completely unjustified suspension for what the union says was representing a member of staff. The Dartford Sainsbury’s regional distribution ballot was called after a Unite steward, who was providing support to a member of staff during an investigation hearing, was suspended for challenging a DHL managers’ version of events, according to the union. The reason given for the suspension by the manager was that the Unite steward was being aggressive – an accusation flatly contradicted by a neutral member of staff who was present at the meeting as a third party.
