Workers on company boards, like every other serious economy does

In Germany, any company with more than 2,000 employees must have worker representatives filling half the seats on its supervisory board. This is called codetermination and it has been the law since 1976. It has not destroyed German industry. Germany is the largest economy in Europe.

In Britain, the people who do the work have no say in how the company is run, where it invests, whether it offshores jobs, or how it distributes profits. They find out when the decision has already been made.

Require companies with over 250 employees to reserve one third of board seats for elected worker representatives. Not a consultative role. Actual voting seats. Let the people who build the products and deliver the services have a voice in the decisions that affect their livelihoods. This is not revolutionary. It is normal. We are the outlier for not doing it.
