#1yrago Labour report on executive pay proposes giving customers a vote on compensation, ending share-based compensation for execs

Ten years of austerity in the UK have produced a definitive answer to the question: does austerity drive economic growth? (Spoiler: No)

The past decade has seen the UK dead last in advanced economies for wage growth -- the weakest decade for employee pay since the 19th Century! -- while executive pay has grown and grown, with the average CEO:worker pay ratio topping 1:150 (it was 1:20 in the 1980s).

A new report commissioned by the UK Labour Party (the largest Labour Party in Europe!) from Sheffield University Emeritus Professor of Accounting Prem Sikka proposes a slate of reforms to curb executive pay and the toxic behavior it drives, such as abusing workers and cutting back on customer service, service delivery, and quality.

The proposals include: making executive compensation public and publishing stats on gender- and race-based gaps in executive pay; ending stock-based compensation (which has been shown to incentivise financial engineering and short-term thinking) in favour of all-cash executive compensation; giving customers (and other stakeholders, including employees) a vote on executive compensation packages; and making executive compensation subject to annual, binding shareholder votes.

The measures would only apply to companies with more than 250 workers -- about 7,000 UK firms, who collectively employ more than 10 million workers in the UK.

Labour has not promised to adopt all of Prof Sikka's recommendations.
