| Message | Rt Hon Marquess Spence, Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, all recently nationalised government infrastructure companies will be required to be run by a Democratic Workers Coucil. Given these businesses are now operated by the state, which takes profits, workers need to have some form of input into the operating of their respective industry. Given DWC's take no profit, they are here to ensure the rights of workers etc. Labour recently have been advocating DWC's to run all businesses and we hope that this is a good comprimise agreement. Given that the state doesn't want to be seen as imposing a dictatorial attitude on to these industries, we want to give workers a say in how they are run. |
