Dear Theresa May, Please can you help UK industry and their Employees to have greater Success, Collaboration, Flexibility, Security and Speed of Business Decisions by ensuring we have Full Employee Representation in the Boardroom. Success • Throughout Europe the most successful companies have Employee Representation directly engaging with the company by participating in board meetings. • Company success is aided not hindered by Employee Representation. Collaboration • Employee board Representation leads to collaboration and avoids industrial disputes. • It is truly a Win-Win situation. • Collaboration between the board and the employees removes many elements of the current "them and us" attitude of UK companies that often leads to outcomes that neither the company nor employees want. Flexibility • Employee board representatives are very often more creative and flexible with their demands. Knowing the challenges facing a company they will often ask for improved investment or help develop restructuring proposals instead of a pay rise knowing that this will help the company. • Currently unions predominantly campaign for increased salaries as they have no insights to the company pressures and direction. Security • In the light of Brexit it is now more important than ever that Employee board representatives are able to work with management to ensure operations are not moved off-shore without a meaningful set of discussions.. • Flexible Employee Responses can be worked on to enhance job security. Speed of Business Decisions • Employee board representatives participating in board meeting discussions are able to formulate responses ahead of a hard company decisions. This means that consultation occurs before a hard decision is publicly declared and prevents company back tracking and face saving that wastes time and effort.

its our money, we should have the right to know

I have been campaigning for this for 20 years and each year the debilitating cashflow problems increase for 1 in 6 of the adult workforce that are running their own businesses. Many large corporations are making money by keeping their smaller busness suppliers waiting for payment (an average of 72 days). This is as much due to unfair contract terms of above 30 days (e.g. 60 day and 75 day terms are prevalent) which smaller businesses cannot afford to refuse as it is to late payment. Micro (0-9 employees) business owners (96% of all businesses) especially cannot afford to complain about bad payment practice from their biggest customers. Whilst the 5 million self employed people in the UK rarely have large corporations as their customers they have customers that do have large organisations as customers. On average self employed people earn £60 a week less today than in 1995 (£240 as against £300) and a major reason for this is higher costs and indebtedness (credit facilities and loans) due to crippling cashflow issues. If all those organisations that national, regional and local Government contract with, licence or fund paid ALL their suppliers within 30 days it would get over £96 billion, per annum, circulating twice as fast in the economy and help micro business owners make ends meet, earn the living wage and many more would be able to grow their businesses. As most of the new jobs each year come from newly self employed people their abilty to suvive and thrive is important for the UK economy as well. #PayIn30Days

Small, independent businesses will drop. They give London a character. This is imprudent and obstructing business growth.

Some years ago Banks and Building Societies pledged to never send emails to customers containing active links. This simple device meant that if a customer received an email with an active link in it, they would know it was a fraudulent email (potential scam, phisher or concealed virus etc) and that they should delete it to remain safe. Barclaycard have steadfastly refused to do this for their customers. This is a call to Barclaycard: If you REALLY care about your customers, then STOP SENDING CUSTOMERS EMAILS CONTAINING ACTIVE LINKS.

There are many infrastructure projects which would benefit from this spend including hospitals and schools. The Royal Yacht is elitist and the last thing we need to help working classes. The Daily Telegraph reports that ministers sense a growing passion for a new yacht, this would further increase the feelings that ordinary people have that they are being left behind whilst the rich get richer.

House prices are already falling behind other areas of the country and the already crumbling roads cant cope with the extra traffic. The environment will be destroyed and the money will not remain in the Fylde and maybe not in the UK. A study shows that the increase in employment is dwarfed by the loss of agriculture jobs not to mention the reduction in the tourism industry.

at the moment each & every electric/gas quote is split between Kw/Hr & various standing charges so get them to make them all one price so people can understand them easier & see what is cheaper & dearer. Please vote for this petition to get them to organise prices we can all understand easily

The current system of creating money through the sale of ever increasing layers of debt, and now, the BofE operating an unaccountable balance sheet which defies principle or prudence, is plumbing the depths of fantasy economics, is unsustainable in nature. It is starting to resemble a listing pirate ship liable to sink at any moment. Only Sound money can deliver a reduction of inequality, a sustainable future for the environment and the next generation and re-establish trust in government, creating a new united kingdom that everyone can believe in.

This has created a massive impact on the UK welfare population that goes all the way to mothers caring for their disabled children, charging people ludicrous fines and causing much suffering for those affected. For example of this here's links to supporting articles such as a woman accused of being married to a dead pensioner http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/37339981 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/teen-mum-tax-credits-stopped-8825953

The corporate world needs to be told that they profit from us plenty without needing to steal from us. As well as this petition, I suggest everybody goes into an apple shop and talk with the helpful sales staff about their products. Then ask them about the unpaid taxes and inform them you won't be buying anymore until THEIR company does the right thing. Each worker is a shareholder after all, so they have power and they are all profiting from the dodgy dealings.

The increased public awareness as a result of this amendment would put pressure on international corporations to adhere to country tax regulations, and expose criminal financial action.
