Left-wing group calls for industrial democracy drive
Left-wing think tank the Jimmy Reid Foundation has called for a new Scottish industrial democracy
Left-wing think tank the Jimmy Reid Foundation has called for a new Scottish industrial democracy with workers' places on boards of companies.
In a report published today, Working Together, the authors argue: "We cannot allow the national failures in industrial relations that we have recently seen in Grangemouth repeated."
The Common Weal model proposes that "all workplaces would have collective bargaining recognition of all trade unions no matter the level of trade union density."
