I used to live in the City of London. I was invited to one of their resident's association meetings.
They some senior people in the City of London government was clear that they had to balance the desires of the residents with those of employers/employees. Otherwise residents (<10,000) would have significant sway over employees (>300,000).
Its not some weird dystopian future. It simply makes sense to listen to those who live and work in the City.
- crooked-v 7y agoYou're conflating employers and employees here, but it's employers who get the votes, not employees.
- blibble 7y agothis isn't true, employers are granted the ability to nominate a number of employees based on the number of people they employ in the City the employer is instructed to allocate such that "voters nominated should reflect the whole diversity of an organisation's employees, including gender, ethnicity and seniority" the employees nominated can then can vote however they want (secret ballot and all) the employer itself can't vote the firms I've worked for in the City handed asked for volunteers each year, and then selected people at random from those volunteers (and there simply aren't enough upper management per votes allocated to stack the ballot that way)
