Q. if every employee owns shares in a company, do they need to also be represented by a union?
Octopus energy thinks not & are resisting moves by the GMB towards a voluntary recognition agreement for those staff who think a union would help them represent their interests in the speedily growing energy firm.
Given Greg Jackson (Octopus' found/CEO) is a Labour supporter might this get a little awkward (not with Blue Labour but with Labour's likely new leader)?
