Even the Conservative manifesto shamefacedly admits that British workers are oppressed and treated as scum. It agrees that action must be taken to ensure that employees’ interests are represented at board level.
However of the various ways of achieving this, it proposes that it will be sufficient to "assign specific responsibility for employee representation to a designated non-executive director."
Obviously such a person can be a management stooge, having no authority or legitimacy derived from the workers, and may have no interest in representing them.
Is this not a transparent figleaf, doing nothing to solve the problem, but simply allowing it to be swept away?
