## Resource

UK CEOs are cashing in big time—average FTSE 100 pay packages hit a record £5.06 million last year, soaring 130 times what the average worker earns. After pandemic pay cuts, top execs are back with massive bonuses, even as profits dip. AstraZeneca’s CEO topped the list with £17.7 million. The High Pay Centre warns this widening gap threatens public trust and calls for reforms like executive pay taxes and worker board representation.
