Supermarket faces vote from investors to pay a living wage to all workers, including contractors
Sainsbury’s has revealed that its chief executive, Simon Roberts, received pay worth £3.8m in the latest financial year even as it rejected calls from big investors for it to pay all workers a living wage.
Roberts’s total pay nearly tripled for the year to March from the £1.3m he received in 2021, when he waived his bonus in light of the coronavirus pandemic, according to figures published in the supermarket’s annual report on Monday.
