Let workers elect representatives to company boards! The Tories promised in 2016 to change the law, but haven't delivered. A Labour govt could make it happen. UK Joined April 2021

New report with @KhemRogaly The UK is a clear outlier for worker participation rights. Weak rights are linked with poor economic outcomes in key metrics. Addressing the stagnation and inequality that defines the UK economy requires democratising power in the company.

Workers in the UK lack many of the guaranteed rights & institutions, from representation on company boards to strong collective bargaining, that are taken for granted across Europe. Our outlier status is associated with poor economic performance across a range of key indicators.

The root cause of the cost-living-crisis is inequality & uncontrolled corporate power. Must democratize corporations, secure equitable distribution of income. Need workers on company boards, Workers/Consumers to vote on executive pay, end exec bonuses. leftfootforward.org/2022/08/the-sc…

Great to read that worker representation on company boards is apparently part of the Levelling Up agenda of shadow communities secretary @lisanandy: theguardian.com/inequality/202…

Good to see worker representation on company boards as a recommendation.

“Stakeholder governance provides a check on both directors’ and shareholders’ actions in a way that traditional company boards—no matter how full of “independent” directors—cannot match.” #codetermination blog.oup.com/2022/03/shared…

A failure to tame corporate power has been a disaster for society. 'The veil of incorporation enables corporations to indulge in practices which a natural person would not be able to get away with so lightly', writes @premnsikka leftfootforward.org/2022/03/a-fail…

A welcome call for a Covenant that includes “the reform of corporate governance in companies with more than 50 employees, with at least two elected employees sitting on the board, and similar representation on remuneration committees”. 👏 @JonCruddas_1 @LabourTogether

Our corporate governance system encourages firms to prioritise shareholder returns rather than increase real wages & investment. We need to: 📋🖋 Democratise governance ⚖️ Empower workers to reclaim their fair share 🔎 Ensure transparency More below👇 bit.ly/dividends-pens…

Millions of workers are in insecure employment with low pay and few rights or protections. @JohnHendyQC's Status of Workers Bill will create a single status of ‘worker’ for all but the genuinely self-employed, giving them the security they deserve with full rights from day one.

To tackle the endemic levels of in-work poverty in the UK, we need a new deal for working people. Today, I’ll be outlining how @UKLabour’s replacement for Universal Credit will allow people on low incomes to keep more of the money they earn theguardian.com/society/2021/a…

Our new deal for working people will make work pay. Labour will 👇 ⬆️ Up the minimum wage to £10 an hour immediately 🤒 Ensure sick pay for everyone 🛡 Protect against unfair dismissal 🏠 Give working people the right to work flexibly theguardian.com/society/2021/a…
