One example of many from the Independent 2017;
Labour plans the biggest revolution in industrial relations since the 1980s, with huge implications for private sector workers. What it means is that, say, all the journalists in the country, all the car workers, all the office support staff, say, will have to be involved in a national negotiation for the sector or industry they work in, rather than as now dealing with their own employer, whether individually or collectively. It implies an unprecedented advance in trade union power, especially among private sector employers, and will bring the private sector in line with the public sector, where this type of arrangement for, for example, NHS staff and teachers, is more usual.
The practical effect of this will be to make the weakest employers in an industry pay wages and other benefits on the same rates as the most successful and profitable players. The consequences of that are obvious: lower profitability or higher losses among the marginal companies, them going out of business and a net loss of jobs as a result. Those who manage to hang on will have done well; but those made redundant will be paying the price for the next man or woman’s pay increase. In the short term such pay arrangements would also be inflationary, especially if a Labour government “accommodated” these changes by stimulating the economy as unemployment edged upwards.
This is just one example of his ill thought out policies, he is anti business, and openly supports the idea of a communist type state.
But all of this pales into insignificance for me, beside the groups he has openly supported in the past, Hamas, the IRA etc, the character of the man horrifies me.
I think we need a whole new raft of people standing for office.
