Tesco faces criticism as chief’s pay more than doubles to

ShareAction charity to ask why boss’s pay is so high when it claims some staff do not receive real living wage

The UK’s biggest supermarket chain Tesco will face criticism over its chief executive’s near £10m pay deal at its annual shareholder meeting on Friday.

The campaign group ShareAction is planning to question why Murphy’s pay has more than doubled to £9.9m including bonuses, when some of those working in its supermarkets do not receive the real living wage.
