Labour for Co-determination @WorkerDirectors

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…

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…

BREAKING: Labour's Fair Pay Agreements would give working people a pay rise and boost our economy. Labour would bring together representatives from workers and employers to agree minimum pay and conditions in their industry. Good for working people. Good for business. #Lab21

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.
